About

20 years old, Tommy has been a life-long Packers, Brewers, Bucks and Badgers fan.

He would like to make a career out of sports journalism, and is currently pursuing a mass communication major from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hoping to parlay his B/R writing experience into a career.

Writing for B/R as a Featured Columnist, he'll generally stick to the Wisconsin Badgers football team, but he might slip in a Packers, Brewers, or Bucks story from time to time.

If you have any suggestions or questions, let Tommy know in an article comment.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Vince Lombardi, Coach K, Phil Jackson, Bill Walsh, Joe Torre

  • All Time Sports Moment

    The Ice Bowl, hands down. Greatest game ever played. It changed the NFL

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Brewers-Astros in August(?) of 2008, my first Brewers game, and Fielder, Braun and Branyan all hit home runs in something like a 9-3 win. It was amazing to watch.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Favre's consecutive games streak for positional players.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Neither, I'd take Ted Williams or Pete Rose. Two of the greatest pure "hitters" ever, from an all around aspect.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Neither. I'll take Favre down by 6 with 2:00 to go, or Bart Starr in a playoff scenario.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer, not even a close call. Federer has been the most dominant athlete in a sport (other than Woods in golf) for his entire career.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Do I have to pick one?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    See above answer...

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

    Big Ten. Hard nosed, run first, stop the run teams. Gotta love pysical football.
