About JOHN »

I'm an Active Duty Army Soldier. I'm a Veteran of Operation Desert-Shield/Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. I consider myself very Patriotic about my Country - God bless the USA, and apologize to NO ONE for my Conservative Christian Faith and Views.

I'm a Cincinnati Reds fan, going back to 1970. The first Reds player I ever saw play became my all-time favorite: Pete Rose, AKA: Charlie Hustle, Hit King, and sadly, the Banished Gambler. Still, -On the field- I saw no one more effective at starting, sustaining winning rallies. Don't allow Rose back on a field to manage or coach, but allow him in Baseball's Hall of Fame.

Favorite All-Time Actor: John Wayne; there will NEVER be another actor like the Duke. Thank GOD he never played a gay cowboy.

Favorite All-Time Singer/Entertainer: Elvis Presley; yes, Elvis had his skeletons, too. Drugs destroyed his life long before it should have ended - to die at an "old" 42. Still, the fans loved him...even in his declining years.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Coaches

Paul "Bear" Bryant - Greatest College Football Coach...ever. NFL - George "Papa" Hallas, Vince Lombardi, Paul Brown.
All Time Sports Moment

4192 - Pete Rose breaks Ty Cobb's all-time hit record. Charlie Hustle did GOOD; unfortunately, he did poorly 4 years later with the betting.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Mid-May 1982: H.S. Graduation gift from my brother; Tickets to see the Phillies play the Braves in Atlanta's Fulton-County Stadium. Pete Rose played 1B for Phils from 1979-83. Pete "Rose to the occasion" with a two-run double late in the ballgame, leading the Phils to a 4-3 win over the Braves.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

MLB Hit King Rose's 4,256 hits - Hopefully, it won't be broken.
Ruth or Mays?

RUTH - The Babe helped to save franchises during the Depression with his incredible hitting, drawing crowds. Look at the pitching, too.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana - Gotta include the Super Bowl performances, and the winning.
Jordan or Russell?

I'd pick Russell in a toss-up.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky - The Great Gretzky, though he lost much after moving to L.A.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras - Shoot, I'll take Jimmy Conners
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger is best, but I like the career of Nicklaus; Tiger has so much more to go...
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty, but Earnhardt finished stronger...despite the death. Petty is still alive.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher, but this really does little for me; no pun intended.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

SEC - Just look at how so many conferences, teams avoid them. ROLL TIDE!
