Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    current: Curtis Granderson; recent: Ahman Green; All-time: Lou Gehrig

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Yankees, Packers, Mavericks, Winnipeg Jets

  • Favorite Coaches

    current:

  • All Time Sports Moment

    "deep to left, Yastrzemski will not get it... it's a home run!"

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    David Cone perfect game

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Joe DiMaggio 56 game streak (I'd say Cy Young 511 victories but that's more from a different era than DiMag's streak)

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth - because of how he saved and dominated the game (and he WAS five-tool until he got fat)...

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Orr was great but Gretzky grew the game more than anyone.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    I set up interviews for Pele at World Cup '02, 25 years after he played and 100 outlets wanted him, still.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    I think if they played 100 matches, both in prime, it'd be about 51-49 Federer.

    Hey there, Jerry. Great interview with Gavin O'Connor -- thought you might find my Warrior movie review of interest. I dropped a link in there to your article as well!

    Wow. I never knew you were an FC or even wrote for BR. We have a cool slideshow on Warrior that is supposed to role out at some point.
