Brett the Jet, the Brady Bunch, and many more: An AFC East Preview for the Ages

Tyler Clugston is truly an enigmatic character, a fan of the beauty of sport. He is particularly fond of the musings of Bill Simmons, who he believes to be the voice of a generation. Tyler was believed to be a late night mistake and entered into this world on June 15, 1987. He was tought from an early age that to survive in his household he would have to suckle at the green and white teet of the almighty New York Jets. He has honored this tradition to this day and has also added the New York Mets to his list of obsessions (along with reality television and Camel Lights). Tyler is currently a senior accounting major at small Shippensburg University in Shippensburg, PA. Not exactly a hotbed for sports coverage (wishing I would have went to Holy Cross Mr. Simmons) Tyler hopes that bleacherreport.com will allow the world to crawl inside his head and be just as scared as he is.

All Time Sports Moment

Jumbo Elliot almost dropping, but then recovering the winning touchdown in the greatest Monday Night Football comeback ever by the legend that is Vinny Testaverde.
Most Memorable Game Attended

I have to say that the 2005 Homecoming Game at Chambersburg Area Senior High School will forever go down in history as the best game that nobody got a chance to see due to a freak power line accident that left the whole East Coast without their darling Trojans.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I truly don't think that anyone will ever even touch Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak. It's like the Holy Grail of sports records for me.
Ruth or Mays?

You have to go with Ruth.
Unitas or Montana?

Damn, the battle of the Western Pennsylvania boys. Joe Montana gets the edge.
Jordan or Russell?

If Bill Russell would have released an epic film such as Space Jam I would have to go with him. But he didn't, so it's all you His Airness.
Gretzky or Orr?

Not even a question, 99 hands down.
Pele or Maradona?

Wow, I did not expect a "soccer great" question. Pele is really the only guy I remember, so he gets the W.
Federer or Sampras?

This one's too close to call, but Federer now would have beat Sampras in straight sets in his prime in my opinion.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

I have the biggest man crush ever on Tiger Woods, and I'm not even a PGA sponsor. Definitely Tiger.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt defined racing and it was a sad day for NASCAR when he died, so of course he gets the edge.
Schumacher or Senna?

Mr. Schumacher, you make me proud to be of German heritage. Ich liebe dich.
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

I don't care what anybody says, the SEC is the most talented division in all of college football. Ask Ohio State, they know what it means to be the best Big 10 team the last two years and get absolutely caught with their pants down in the National Championship games. Put USC and UCLA in the Big 10, call it the Bigger 12, and get rid of the damn Pac 10.
