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

Ruth or Mays?

Neither looked comfortable in the pocket...
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Namath.
Jordan or Russell?

Is this a question about athletic equipment?
Gretzky or Orr?

Hockey is for places where's it's too cold for football.
Pele or Maradona?

Greek philosophy was never my strong suit.
Federer or Sampras?

Italian shoes are pretentious.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger, because Nicklaus went to Ohio State.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Driving is only a sport during rush hour in Atlanta.
Schumacher or Senna?

I heard bottled water is bad for the environment.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

This question is insulting to SEC fans.
