About

What's up, everyone? I'm a Northeastern University graduate, Class of 2010, and have worked as a sports reporter at the Concord (N.H.) Monitor and the Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass. I'm looking to make a name for myself in the sportswriting profession. I'm an avid fan of the New England Patriots and Baltimore Orioles, and a passionate follower of the Philadelphia Flyers and Miami Heat. I try to take hard, objective looks at sports, specifically my teams, and I try to provide an honest take. I give special weight to postseason performance, and if there's one thing I respect, it's athletes and teams that get it done in the clutch.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Present: Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Deion Branch, DeSean Jackson, Larry Fitzgerald, Ed Reed, Antwaan Randle El, Nick Markakis, Brian Roberts, Kerry Wood, Rich Harden, Tim Lincecum, Garrett Anderson, Mike Richards, Dwyane Wade. Past: Cal Ripken, Randy Moss, Barry Sanders, Steve Israel, Sami Kapanen, Mark Recchi, Ken Griffey, Jr.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    In order: New England Patriots, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Flyers, Miami Heat, any Miami Hurricanes or Northeastern Huskies team, and the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Bill Belichick, Buck Showalter. And of course: Dennis Green, Jim Mora (Sr.)

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Personal favorite: Vinatieri's field goal to win Super Bowl XXXVI. Beautiful, beautiful moment. Greatest moment: I wasn't alive for it, but I've got to think the U.S. hockey team's victory over the Soviet Union in 1980 is the best without question.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Aug. 10, 2007. Down 5-1 in the eighth, at home, against the eventual world champion Red Sox and their unbeatable bullpen, the Orioles score four in the eighth and one in the ninth. 6-5 victory.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cy Young's 511 wins. Put it this way: No one will near Walter Johnson's second-place total of 417. And that's still 94 back.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. The greatest, smartest player to ever play the game. Plus, give Mays his year-and-a-half of military service back, and Aaron chases HIS record.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas. Called his own plays, and was better when the pressure was higher. Can't have a better leader than that. Not to mention, with 47 consecutive games with a TD pass, he could throw a little too.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Nothing he couldn't do, or do better when it mattered most.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. No question. His records can't be touched.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. No handballs allowed.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer. Sampras was a winner, but Federer is incredible.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger until just recently. Now, I have a greater respect for Jack's dominance for so long.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Earnhardt. Won and scared the crap out of you doing it.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher. Check out 2004 Formula One.

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

    ACC. It's all about the U

    Good afternoon Drew, dedicated and lifelong Patriots fan here. I jus wondered if you could help me and the rest of the Nation understand why #85 posted the unveiling of Giants SB ring last night on his Facebook page. If you have access, you will see the response was almost lifethreatening. It set off a frenzy of comments and hate comments and I was one of them. Why in the world, would he post something pro Giants after our 2nd SB loss to them, as if we were anxiously awaiting pictures of their SB rings. Sure would appreciate any feedback I could obtain to assist me with understanding this wreckless and disrespecful stunt he has pulled. Thanking you in advance, Patriots Nation
