Todd's Bio

I graduated Syracuse University in 2002 with a degree in journalism and sociology. I really enjoy writing for Bleacher Report and discussing sport topics.

I also contribute to insidectsports.com and I am working on developing a website 1fight.com. I have been posting MMA news on http://1fighter.blogspot.com

Todd Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Todd Parmelee

Favorite Athletes

Ray Allen, Roger Clemens (I got his autograph like 3 times. I respect Jim Calhoun more than anyone, though.

Favorite Sports Teams

UConn Huskies, Syracuse Orangemen (or do I mean the Orange), New York Giants, New England Patriots, New York Mets, New York Yankees.

All Time Sports Moment

Scott Burrell's pass to Tate George with 1.0 second remaining in the 1990 East Regional Semifinals. George made a miraculous shot from the corner.

Most Memorable Game Attended

2008 Big East Tournament, Elite XC Primetime at the Prudential Center. Vermont beating Syracuse in the 2005 NCAA Tournament in Worcester, Mass for the wrong reasons. I still can not believe Vermont won that game.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

A Pitching statistic, such as total wins. I just confirmed this several days later as SI also pronounced Cy Young's 511 wins as baseball most unbreakable records. Let's see 25.5 years of HGH, or no 35.5 years by Clemens and he might break it. No, Roger you never used steroids, you used HGH.

Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth because he had some ties to my town. Mays was dynamic, though. That catch he made, wow.

Unitas or Montana?

Montana because I never had the pleasure to watch Unitas. Plus, Montana went to Notre Dame, I would love to visit that school one day. My favorite movie is Rudy, by the way.

Jordan or Russell?

Jordan

Gretzky or Orr?

Gretky

Pele or Maradona?

Pele, but Diego (Mardonna) was my Spanish name during 4 years of High School at Coginchaug.

Federer or Sampras?

Fedor Emelienanko, whoops

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger

Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt

Schumacher or Senna?

Who Cares?

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

Big East . . . The toughest conference in college basketball the 07-08 season. Didn't West Virgnia beat Oklahoma in football? I bet that hurts Sooner fans.

    Todd -

    I am not totally sure of all the factors involved in those rankings. Obviously the # of articles (which you have a bunch) is a factor. How recent your last article MMA article was written is also a factor. I bet if you wrote an article today you would shoot back up the list b/c you have 17 MMA articles which is a lot more than most. Jon and I have no control over the rankings. I do know that much.

    Todd -

    Thanks for making me one of your favorite writers.

    I'm a little worried about you. You listed yourself as one of your favorite writers... twice.

    Either you are narcissistic or schizophrenic. Not good, my friend, not good.

    just added you, couldnt believe you had the balls to write a Sergio Mora article. I couldn't find anybody who thought he had a chance to win other than Doug Fischer at Maxboxing.com.

    Look forward to reading your articles in the future, and appreciate your contributions to the boxing page. Not a lotta guys are into boxing and MMA, everybody seems to be choosing between the two.

    I would say Big East, but if you would rather have the Final Four let me know and I can change it for you...

    Just saw that you went to SU, I'm finishing up my last semester there now. (And hoping we can win some of our last games and make it to the tournament.)
