About Phil »

Hello from Buffalo, New York. My name is Phil and I grew up in Buffalo and went to college at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. I'm a die hard Bills, Sabres, and Hokie fan. In fact, I live (and die) vicariously through my sports teams. I've always wanted to write about sports professionally since I was a kid and Bleacher Report looks like a cool way to get some stuff out there to the public. I'm a 2007 hokie graduate of the history department and am currently residing back home in Buffalo. I work full time during the week but watch/write about football on the weekends all day and night! Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the articles! To quote my friends from southwest Virginia, thanks y'all!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, Bruce Smith, Chris Drury, Dominik Hasek, Eddie Royal, Brandon Flowers, Darryl Tapp, and if coaches count I'll take Frank Beamer, Bud Foster, and of course Marv Levy

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Bills, Sabres, Hokies

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Bills over Oilers in the AFC playoffs greatest comeback in NFL history

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    2003 VT vs. Miami football night game

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Refer to my All Time Sports Moment (however, I do believe all football records are made to be broken except for a 109 yard return for a TD)

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays baby

  • Unitas or Montana?

    I'll take Montana every time

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Is that even a serious question?

    The Great One

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I'll go with the swede and his backhand

    Tiger. No offense to Jack but there is no comparison regardless of what the record books say.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Give me the go carts

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Danica

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    We all know it's the SEC hands down but being that I'm a die-hard Hokie fan I'll say the ACC (since 2004)
