About

As I engage in chants of "Here we go, Steelers!" and "Let's Go, Pens!," I'm an avid sports fan....err, hockey and football fan who grew up an hour outside of Pittsburgh. I was there in 1995 when Stan Humphries decided that he was Roger Staubach in the AFC Championship game. I was also around the next season when Jim Harbaugh's hail mary hit the turf. So, I've seen both sides of it, and feel strongly that the beauty of sports is the gamut of emotions.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    All categories will be done for each of the 4 major sports: Tom Brady, Mario Lemieux, Michael Jordan, Jose Canseco (The truth hurts, but I respect it.)

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Pittsburgh Penguins, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bulls

  • Favorite Coaches

    Paul Brown, Scotty Bowman, Jim Leyland, Phil Jackson, Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, Chuck Noll, Bob Johnson

  • All Time Sports Moment

    2009. Stanley and Lombardi. Horns honking. Towels waving! Ole' ole! Celebrate!

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Steelers snap Patriots 21-game winning streak, 34-20.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Only the NHL here: Wayne Gretzky's 2,857 career point total. The game has changed. It'll never be touched.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    'Da Babe!

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana was the key in the West Coast. Unitas preceded his time, but Montana revolutionized the passing offense.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Different era's, and this may be biased...but I've never seen somebody control every key moment like...JORDAN.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzy, though the cynical Pittsburgh fan in me will (deservedly) say, "A healthy Lemieux."

  • Pele or Maradona?

    n/a (don't watch)

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus, until (unless) Tiger gets it back.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt for spite of some family members!

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    n/a (don't watch)

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Have you been watching? Love the Big 10, but it's (to my chagrin) SEC. Speed kills.

    of course im a bias Steelers fan because the truth is I really like the Steelers but I love the Colts and the Ravens and at the end of the day, they all will have to see each other in order to reach the Superbowl. But I love to see the Steelers and Ravens play, man they are so much alike its scary but at the end of the day, offense wins games and Ben is a better leader than my dude Flaco
