About Brian »

Grew up in Southern California playing and watching sports from a young age. I love my teams and live and die with their highlights, box scores, blunders, accomplishments, failures and VICTORIES!!!! I am not a bandwagon fan, but I do love a great story.....underdog victories against the odds are what sports are all about. Winning in the face of adversity and beating the odds are what make sports so much of a part of American life.

I currently live just outside of Dover, Delaware with my fiance whom I love very much....and our "kid" Marley, a 3 and a half year old orange cat (imagine that, a Bronco/Syracuse/Giants fan with an orange cat)........I am trying to make a splash in sports journalism and love playing golf and pool. I am a huge music and movie fan and often you will find me mixing those subjects into my thoughts on the sports world, while injecting a little humor as well.

With that said...enjoy what you read here and keep checking back for more....

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

All Time:John Elway, Will Clark, Karl Malone, Barry Bonds, Terrell Davis, Steve Atwater, John Stockton. Current: Carmelo Anthony, Darren Williams, Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal, Tim Lincecum, Tiger Woods and Phil Ivy (Is Poker a sport???)
Favorite Sports Teams

Denver Broncos, Syracuse Orange Hoops, San Francisco Giants, Utah Jazz, Philadelphia Flyers
All Time Sports Moment

A few of my favorites: Broncos Back to Back Super Bowl wins, Syracuse taking the Tournament, John Stockton's three to beat the Rockets and send the Jazz to their first NBA Finals, and Will Clark dominating the Cubs in the National League Championship Series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Denver Broncos 31-16 victory in San Diego to move to 12-0 while defending Super Bowl Champs!
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's consecutive games played streak, Wilt's 100 point game, Nolan Ryan's 7 No-hitters.
Ruth or Mays?

Mays...I would say Bonds, but I am tired of defending one man for the sins of an entire generation and that includes Bud Selig!
Unitas or Montana?

Elway.....I know Montana won more Super Bowls and beat Elway in one, but it is hard to imagine how many Elway would have won had he played with Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Dwight Clark, Roger Craig, Brent Jones, Ronnie Lott and all of the great 49ers of the 80's
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan pushed Bryon Russell on that last shot in Utah....oh my bad...you mean Bill Russell?? I'll take Jordan cause dude was the most intense competitor to ever play team sports.....
Gretzky or Orr?

or Orr?....is that a stutter??? I'll take Gretzky cause he was money in the clutch.
Pele or Maradona?

Alexi Lalas.......Nah....I am not a soccer guy at all so I will go with Pele cause he was in a movie with Sly Stallone.
Federer or Sampras?

Federer, although I do like Sampras in the Geico commercial with Billy Jean King....hahaha.....
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger....There is no other athlete today who gets into his opponents heads like Tiger does.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Not a fan of watching RedNecks make left hand turns all day long....but I will say Earnhardt.
Schumacher or Senna?

Danica Patrick...........she's HOT! My fiance will love that one.......
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Football.....SEC Basketball.....Big East

Hey Brian, I'm a current SU student and college basketball community leader. I was going to take over the Syracuse basketball community if I could find anyone. Would you be interested? You don't have to do much, create the occasional roundtable between writers interested in SU hoops, maybe do a Q&A with another writer, etc....
