Brad's Bio

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, (the Mormons), first and foremost and served my mission among both PAC-10 and Conference USA fans in Tucson, Ariz. and El Paso, Texas. I love the NFL and am exceptionally pleased with the 4-1 start for my Denver Broncos, while I also like the Dolphins, Colts, Seahawks, Eagles and Lions. Obviously, some of these teams are successful, and some are not, but I also like the NBA (GO Mavs), college basketball and would like college football more, if it weren't for the lack of a playoff. I do have Italian in my bloodlines, so if I'm angry, that's why, while I also have British, Danish and Scottish stock. I am a graduate of Southern Utah University and currently work at Mid-Utah Radio in Manti, Utah.

Most Memorable Game Attended

A Monday Night Broncos vs. Raiders Game in November 1999 at the old Mile High Stadium
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

One that hasn't happened yet, all of Peyton Manning's passing statistics upon his retirement
Ruth or Mays?

I go with "Say Hey"
Unitas or Montana?

I never watched Johnny U play and I began watching in the Montana era, so I'll go with Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Igualmente to "Unitas-Montana," so I've got to go with Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One (Gretzky)
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?

To be honest, I don't care.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

the BIG 10 and PAC-10 are evil. I know that generally, the SEC, ACC and BIG 12 all want a playoff, so I root for them.

Let me put it this way. Is there anyone who is a fan of the MWC who is a fan of the BCS? no. Fans of the bigger conferences have people on both sides. It's like politics. The have nots of COURSE want reform, the haves are fine where they are, why would they change? So goes the BCS, the BIG12, PAC10, BIG10, SEC are great. Why would they want to change things, the whole system is set up for them to be successful. I bet if some of those bigger schools were in smaller conferences they would be clammoring for change. It's very hard for people to TRULY put themselves in the shoes of the less fortunate
