Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Jim Brown, Bob Feller, Bernie Kosar, Mark Price, Charles Nagy, LeBron James, Victor Martinez, Kellen Winslow, Phil Dawson, Charles Barkley, Lou Gehrig, Otto Graham

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers, Ohio State Buckeyes

  • Favorite Coaches

    Paul Brown, Marty Schottenheimer, Woodu Hayes, Jim Tressel, Mike Hargrove, Lenny Wilkins, Vince Lombardi

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Hasn't happened yet. Cleveland needs to win something while I am alive first.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Joe Dimaggio - 56 game hitting streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Despite sending the Tribe into a tailspin in 1954. Better all around player.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Otto Graham

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. This from a Cavs fan.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. No doubt.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus until Tiger passes him. Ultimately, it will be Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    The Intimidator. Petty may be a bit more iconic but I think Dale Sr. left more of an imprint on the sport.

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

    Big Ten. I'm a homer. But it's nowhere near the best conference in football or basketball. In fact, it downright stinks right now.

    JW Nix made a great argument for the suspension of Brady Quinn. However, after I examined it, I felt that Brady Quinn needed a defense attorney.

    You deserved the nomination. Great job this season!

    What you don't deserve is having to put up with Eric Mangini....
