About Darren »

I have been a huge sports fan my entire life. Chicago born and raised, Cubs, Blackhawks, Bulls, and Da Bears. If anybody wants to discuss sports in general or about Chicago teams, talk to me. We will have a great conversation.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, any Quarterback other than Rex Grossman
Favorite Sports Teams

Chicago Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, NY Jets
All Time Sports Moment

Watching the Bulls in their prime with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, those were the years.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Bears vs. Falcons, Sunday night December game, -7 degrees, 100,000 times the fun, plus Bears won and beat the crap out of Michael Vick
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I would say Chamberlain's 100 points in a game or Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak to name a few. Oh, and Brett Favre's consecutive game streak.

Is Ben Roethlisberger more clutch than Tom Brady and the rest of the league? I've created a new measure to test quarterback "clutchness". FInd out how Jay Cutler faired.
