Marc's Bio

I have done my own bracketology once the conference season starts for the past ten years. I grew up a Syracuse fan but also root hard for my alma mater Kentucky. I don't always take the popular view of things but I don't get offended by dissent if it's presented well. I also wrote for a popular horse racing publication for over five years.
Look for my first novel, "Exiles on Front Street", to come out soon from Strategic Book Publishing! I am currently at work on my second novel, "Generation Blindside".

The Short List What Marc thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Larry Bird, Wayne Gretzky, Secretariat, Lawrence Taylor, Tiki Barber
Favorite Sports Teams

UK Wildcats, New York Football Giants!!, Syracuse Orange, Boston Celtics
All Time Sports Moment

Why not got recent? Super Bowl XLII!! Also '96 and '98 and '03 NCAA Championships.
Most Memorable Game Attended

1990 - UK, seriously undermanned, blow out LSU which had Shaq, Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Not so much a record but a milestone. No pitcher will win 30 games in a season. Who even gets 30 decisions anymore?
Ruth or Mays?

Mays was a more complete player.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana had a little less to work with. Remember that Unitas had pretty decent running games.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele - behaved with a lot more class.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Heart says SEC. Brain says Pac 10 this year.

Hi Marc-
I am beginning a very exciting adventure, and looking for support from the B/R community. Beginning this September I will visit every pro sports stadium in the span of one calendar year- becoming the first person to ever accomplish the feat. If you would be willing to contribute to the fund so I can accomplish this goal, or even to pass along to others who may be interested, I would be greatly indebted to you. Let me know if you would like more information. Thanks

Hey,

The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”

Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

Thanks everyone!

Hey,

It’s been a very long time since I have extended an article of mine to the Bulletin Boards of my friends/fans, but this one is filled with the true venom and passion of a frustrated Yankees fan. The days of consistent success are over, and this baseball lifer is blaming Brian Cashman. Read how he has displayed the baseball knowledge of a little leaguer in assembling Yankee teams of the last 7 years.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/207148-yankees-gm-brian-cashman-nothing-more-than-an-infinite-checking-account

I would love to hear your feedback on this one. Thanks everyone!

Hey,

The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.

Hey Marc,

I wanted to stop by and thank you so much personally for giving me a POTD vote. It means a lot to me, especially receiving one from a B/R writer outside of my immediate fan base. It shows that you were affected by my work, and enjoyed it even as a fairly new reader. I can't thank you enough, and the support I recieved from readers like yourself helped to win me the Article of the Day. Thanks so much again, and I look forward to talking to you again soon. Take care, Marc.
