The New York Mets are my passion, but I am also a diehard fan of the New York Giants, Islanders, and Knicks. I really enjoy writing, whether it be articles on my favorite teams, or science fiction / fantasy novels. I'm also a practicioner of goju-ryu karate and a fan of professional wrestling (WWE).

Favorite Athletes

Eli Manning, Mike Piazza, Carlos Beltran, Amani Toomer, Justin Tuck, Rick DiPietro, Miroslav Satan, Danilo Galanari, Steve Trachsel, Keith Hernandez, Ralph Kiner, David Wright, Jeff Feagles, Michael Strahan, and finally LUIS CASTILLO..... ( JUST KIDDING ABOUT THAT! )
Favorite Sports Teams

New York Mets, New York Giants, New York Islanders and New York Knicks
Favorite Coaches

Tom Coughlin, Bobby Valentine
All Time Sports Moment

I went to a Mets game in 2008 when the Mets took on the Mariners. I went to a M's vs Mets game several years ago with my dad. It was a double header and the mets got blown out bad in both games. They alose lost a laugher to the Mariners in the game I went to this year, but it was my all-time favorite moment in Shea Stadium because we were able to move down to the very first row and a linedrive got hit right at me, but I missed it!
Most Memorable Game Attended

Other great Shea moments include the playoff game against the dodgers in 06 when 2 dodgers were tagged out at the plate. I was at that game and never heard shea stadium get that loud before.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I once hit into a double play with the bases loaded and flung my helmet in disgust. Little did I know my girlfriend was about 10 feet away. The helmet came within an inch of nailing her in the head, as it sailed over the a fence and smashed into a the door of my team's catcher's car, who immediately charged me from the dugout, and across the field screaming "THATS MY CAR!"
Unitas or Montana?

Elisha Nelson Manning.
Federer or Sampras?

I hate tennis.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

And golf....
Petty or Earnhardt?

Don't even get me started about my opinon of Nascar.
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

I don't "believe" in college sports. I only watch professionals. I just can't get into college football and basketball for some reason. Maybe it's cause I'm a little jealous that I'm not on the field, or just the fact that I find it boring.
