About

Sports has always been life. Whether it's playing, coaching, watching, or writing, my life revolves around competition. My love for baseball brought me to the University of Pennsylvania to pitch, and now Bleacher Report to write. I am a Communications major and die-hard New York sports fan.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Brady Quinn, David Wright, Jacoby Ellsbury, Jeff Francoeur, John MacLean, Zach Parise

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    New York Mets, New Jersey Devils, Penn Quakers, New York Jets, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, New York Knicks

  • Favorite Coaches

    Joe Maddon, Terry Francona, Bruce Bochy

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Don Larsen's World Series Perfect Game. On the biggest stage, against the best competition, being perfect. What could be more impressive?

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Roger Clemens vs. Mike Piazza Round One. The Subway Series game when Clemens beamed Piazza in the head and their rivalry began.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cal Ripken's consecutive games played streak. There was one man to do it in 2011, now do it for fifteen more years.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth. The Babe not only dominated at the plate, he was a premiere pitcher! Talent like that has never been seen again.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. As a Notre Dame fan, Joe will always have a warm place in my heart.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. In the prime of his career, he decided to quit the NBA and attempt a baseball career. Plus his role in Space Jam makes him a hero to any kid who grew up in the 90's.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. There's never been one better, never will be.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. He brought soccer to the US in the form of the Cosmos and moved with the ball with the grace of a ballroom dancer.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer. With so many other elite players in today's tennis, to dominate as long as he did is incredible.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus. Tiger still has a long way to go if he wants to catch up to Jack in Majors, and there's never been a more ferocious competitor on the links.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt. A winner, a proud dad, and a man that lost his life doing what he loved. His death was tragic, but it only furthered his legendary driving status.

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

    SEC. Football, baseball, even occasionally basketball. The rivalries are intense and the fans are insane.

    I'm actually curious. How are you a featured columnist? You have less reads, articles, and medals than me.
