Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Manny, Pedro, Ortiz, Brady, Vinatieri, Bruschi, Montana, Rice, Bird, Reggie Lewis, Barkley, Pierce, KG, Ray, 'Toine, Iverson, Shaq, Melo, Wade, Griffey, Mo Vaughn, Henry, Zidane, Bode Miller and Keith Hernandez

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, LSU, Les Bleus, Mets, Montana's Niners and Team USA

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Games 4-7. 2004 ALCS. A moment that lasted four days and 44 innings.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Mo Vaughn's walkoff grand slam on Opening Day 1998. Red Sox were down 7-2 entering the 9th and scored seven runs without an out, culminating in the Hit Dog's slam. As icing on the cake, they started the rally against ex-Sox bombshell closer, Heathcliff Slocumb (who happened to have been traded for Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek the year before). Karmic afternoon at Fenway.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Individual: Cy Young's 511 wins and 749 complete games. Team: Celtics eight consecutive NBA titles.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth. Greatest baseball player in the history of the game. Don't forget he was a pitcher first.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. He has four rings and is the reason I love football.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Maradona. Out of this world. And beyond.

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

    SEC football, no contest. In basketball, over the last ten years the Big East and ACC have been neck and neck. Slight edge to the overall depth of the Big East.
