About Edgar Antonio »

Edgar Antonio Nunez is a communications, marketing and graphic design professional currently doing his thing in the neon glow of Las Vegas.

He was born in the Boogie Down Bronx, New York, so consequently, he was destined to bleed pinstripes and bleed big blue. He made a detour at New York's "sixth borough," Miami, for five years before heading west.

His main sports interests include pro football, pro baseball, college football and sports commentary.

His athletic glory culminated in being inserted during garbage time of a Catholic school junior varsity basketball game and promptly fouling out.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes
Favorite Sports Teams

The Evil Empire (26 World Series championships, 39 American League pennants), Big Blue Wrecking Crew (four NFL championships, three Super Bowl championships, 10 NFC championships, 14 division championships), University of Miami Hurricanes (five national football titles, nine conference football titles, four national baseball championships). Oh, and teams that generally wear uniforms with nice, complimentary colors (no pink).
All Time Sports Moment
Most Memorable Game Attended
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Ruth or Mays?

My favorite baseball reference in a film is Robert DeNiro as Al Capone in The Untouchables: “Life goes on. A man becomes preeminent, he’s expected to have enthusiasms. Enthusiasms... Enthusiasms… What are mine? What draws my admiration? What is that which gives me joy? Baseball! A man. A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But, in the field, what? Part of a team! Looks, throws, catches, hustles—part of one big team. Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and so on. If the team don’t field, what is he? You follow me? No one! Sunny day, stands are full of fans, what has he got to say? I’m going out there for myself. But, I get nowhere unless the team wins.” […and then, WHAP!]
Unitas or Montana?
Jordan or Russell?
Gretzky or Orr?
Pele or Maradona?
Federer or Sampras?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

To paraphrase George Carlin—Then, finally, we come to golf. Ever watch golf on TV? It’s like watching flies f–k. I get more excited picking out socks. Golf could be fun if you could play alone but it’s these genetic defectives that you have to hang around with that make it such a boring pastime. Think of the brain that it takes to play golf. Hitting a ball with a crooked stick, then walking after it. And then, hitting it again. I say pick it up ass—e. You’re lucky you found it. Put it in your pocket and go the f–k home, will ya.
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I don't usually link my articles, but I feel this one is important. It's about the blatant favoritism surrounding David Ortiz. Please take a look if you're interested.

The home run record is quite possibly the most sacred record in all of sports. Thirty-five years ago today, Hank Aaron overtook Babe Ruth for sole possession of the home run record, doing so without the aid of any performance-enhancing drugs.

Since that day, the record has been broken by Barry Bonds, in what has been a controversial process for the game of baseball. I thought I would pay a tribute to Aaron, one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived, and as classy of a man as they get.

I appreciate that. I really do.

I wish you'd still be writing. Your Sabathia/Santana article and the Giants O-Line articles were fantastic.

Hey Edgar,

I've finally written an article I feel is worthy of self-promotion. Hopefully I'm not the only one who thinks so. Give it a read?
