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 sports with fellow fans.

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

Vermont beating Syracuse in the 2005 NCAA Tournament in Worcester, Mass for the wrong reasons. I still can not believe Vermont won that game. 2002 NCAA Tournament- Maryland beat UConn, once again it was a great game but my team lost in the Regional Finals in Syracuse. Florida Duke Sweet 16 at the Carrier Dome in 1999. Florida won, I hate Duke (Remember 1990?). Baltimore Orioles Kansas City Royals 1995, because I caught A Gary Gaetti home run ball. Cal Ripken also broke Gehrig's streak that year.

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.

Pele or Maradona?

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

Jordan or Gretzky?

Jordan - I love Jordan.

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.

    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.)
