Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    I recently called Tim Howard "one of the nicest people on the planet." To his face! Oh, and Allen Iverson.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Philadelphia Phillies by birth. Rutgers Scarlet Knights by common-law marriage.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Charlie Manuel. Plus I owe much of my professional career to Greg Schiano.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    I kicked a 35-yard field goal, barefoot, in the closed end zone of the Orange Bowl. This counts.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    1993 World Series Game 5. Curt Schilling's line: 9IP, 5H, 0R, 3BB, 6K, 147 pitches, 99 strikes.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Wilt's 100 point game. High school games don't count.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Both?

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Elway.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    This is like asking if I prefer apples or pears. I saw Jordan play. A lot. So...apples. Or is Jordan pears?

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Definitely apples.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    I have a signed ball from Pele. But I once punched a ball into the net in a game and they counted it. Push.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    True story: I once yelled "Let's Go Pete" right while he was bouncing the ball. He stopped and looked up. Then became world #1 later that year.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    A tiger would probably beat a bear in the wild. But if it was a Golden bear...

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Lightning McQueen. What? I have two kids!

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    This is suddenly getting morbid.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Big East. We're talking hoops, right?

    Dan, I read your article on the rigged officiating in the Celtics-Heat series and agree 100%. Keep up the good work.

    P.S. I live in the hometown of Charlie Manuel. Just thought I'd let you know.

    Daniel, I think you nailed it with that latest soccer article. And just when I thought it couldn't get better, I saw that you're associated with Rutgers! Peace Bro.

    Most unbreakable record is Cy Young's career wins. Kobe scored 81 years ago.

  • Mohamed Al-Hendy posted 33 days ago

    Mohamed Al-Hendy

    Dan, I don't know if anyone has told you, but you share the same name as the chairman of Tottenham Hotspur in the EPL. I just noticed it recently when I found myself confused as to whether a B/R commenter was referring to you or Tottenham's chairman haha.

    Hey Dan
    I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.

    Hey Dan, I'll be LIVE in Philly to meet up! Should be a blast, and I can't wait to meet you. Not a stalker line, or is it... LOL

    You are a joke to call Tim Thomas a coward. Is it a coincidence you are a Philly fan by birth? I think not. You are the coward.

    Thanks for your Joe Paterno article.

    I like the fact division winners get the home playoff game. Let me make a case using the Steelers, they had their chance to win the division and were swept by Baltimore, they were a 12 win team it shouldn't matter where they play a 8 win team and let's say the rules were changed as you propose, The Steelers could have decided to rest more players in week 16, 17 knowing they get the home game in the Wild Card round, It devalues the Bye week some in certain circumstances, the difference of winning the division and getting the bye plus a home game is such a massive advantage over road wild card round it makes key divisional matchups immensely importantly.
