About Justin »

What does being a sports fan mean to you - is it casual, obsessive or somewhere in the middle?

For me, it's more or less an obsession. I wish I could tell you that I was obsessed with one sport, and that was it. I would live and die by.... International Handball. It's just a for instance.

But it seems that I cannot stop enjoying every sport. I have favorites, sure. Baseball and Football are without question my favorites. However, I watch everything - if it could be called a sport, even loosely, and it's on TV or available in the local area, I'll give it a whirl, probably start rooting for someone, and check on their statistics from time to time. I once stayed in Great Britain for 10 days, and was absolutely riveted while watching cricket.

Based on that, anything is possible.

Turning Two

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Current: Kevin Youkilis, Ray Allen, Milan Lucic, Justin Tuck. All Time: Dwight Evans, Larry Bird, Ray Bourque, David Robinson and Joe Montana.
Favorite Sports Teams

Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, Giants (I know it's weird. Sue me.) And, for posterity... the Hartford Whalers. Someone cue Brass Bonanza!
Favorite Coaches

Joe Paterno, Bobby Knight, Bill Parcells, and absolutely not Dick MacPherson.
All Time Sports Moment

If you were alive in October 2004, this requires no further explanation. If you were not alive in October 2004, I'm impressed with your advanced reading abilities.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Roger Clemens's first game pitching in Fenway wearing a Toronto Blue Jays Uniform... or the Celtics/Pistons Eastern Conference Finals game last year. Toss up.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

The streak. And I'm talking about 56.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Russell.
Gretzky or Orr?

Orr.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. Though I probably picked this wrong because it's soccer.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger. What he does on a golf course is beyond reason.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Atlantic 10. Wait, that wasn't an option? How about the MASCAC... still no? Okay, ACC. Except Duke.

Hey, my school has just started back so I hadn't found much time to write a new article in awhile. Well, here it is. This article is about Duke Basketball and their 2001 Championship run. Please check it out if you get time! Thanks!

Hey Justin,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!
