Jeffrey's Bio

Jeffrey McDaniel is a freelance writer living in Knoxville, Tennessee. He enjoys SEC and fantasy football, college basketball and bluegrass music. The New York Yankees are the only professional sports team he follows with anything resembling passion. As a kid he was a fan of the Denver Broncos (during all three Super Bowl losses) and Detroit Pistons (before they could get past Boston in the playoffs).

He is currently looking for work.

The Short List What Jeffrey thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly, John Elway
Favorite Sports Teams

The New York Yankees, Auburn Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers.
Favorite Coaches

Mr. Robert Montgomery Knight
All Time Sports Moment

When Scott Brosius hit a two-out, two-run, game tying home run in Game 5 of the 2001 World Series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

A Chattanooga Lookouts game when I was a kid. Reggie Jefferson hit a walkoff home run in the bottom of the 12th inning.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

UCLA's 88 game winning streak in College Basketball.
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth, of course.
Unitas or Montana?

Neither. John Elway was able to do what he did without big name receivers, and until Terell Davis, no good running backs.
Jordan or Russell?

Bill Russell. He was more dominant and won more rings.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. They don't call him The Great One for nothing.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Pete Sampras because not only was he the best of his day, he also looked like Jerry Seinfeld.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tough to say just yet. Tiger is the best golfer on the planet, but so was Nicklaus.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

The SEC is without a doubt the toughest conference in the country. Six BCS National Championships, including the last three in a row, and that's leaving out Auburn's unbeaten 2004 season.

Hey Jeffery, I was just curious and wondered what a syndicated writer was and how did you become one? And also how you became a featured columnist.

Jeff,

Right now we all need to take time out of our day, and pray for Jim Johnson. The Philadelphia Eagle's defensive coordinator who was diagnosed with skin cancer. Let me know what you think. Thanks
