About James »

A part time soldier, full time software tester. I've been a sports buff since I could walk. I wanted to be Walter Payton as a kid, and am currently driving the Wanderlei Silva Warwagon. I enjoy writing in my spare time (when I get some anyway).

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Walter Payton, Wanderlei Silva, Bas Rutten

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Athletics

  • All Time Sports Moment

    When Mark Mcgwire hit his 62nd homerun. I was his biggest fan back then.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Steelers vs Cardinals, September 7, 2006. First game in the new Cards stadium.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Jerry Rice's receiving records. He was too good for too long.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth. He transcended the sport.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. No quarterback was more dangerous with the ball in his hands.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Truly the greatest player of all time.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. See above comment

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. I don't follow soccer and even I know how great he was.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    When its all said and done Federer will be the Tennis version of MJ.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger has revolutionized the sport.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    I'm not a fan, but I guess Petty.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Neither

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

    Pac 10 baby, I live in Arizona.

New York City pulled out the throne as King James arrived for his only visit of the season! Take a look at what I thought of the hype.

oh, I'm well aware of Danny Woodhead. and Sam McGuffie. and Brian Leonard. and Jacob Hester...

I've written like 3 pieces on Woodhead.

He did get three carries for 24 yards this last game, and with Leon Washington out for the season, he could see a lot more...

WEC 41 was one of the better cards I have seen in a while. My hat's off to Urijah Faber for a gutsy performance after breaking his hand. Hopefully Mike Brown will get some respect now.

I'm trying to get a few more articles up before I head off to Ft. Rucker for Warrant Officer Candidate School at the end of the month. 3 articles in 5 months is pretty terrible.
