About Greg »

Greg is the overnight web editor for Washington D.C.'s WTOP.com. However, sports is his life's calling. From Football in the winter, to NCAA basketball in the spring, to baseball in the summer, Greg always is buried in some tv show or some internet blog, just trying to know more than the next person. Thanks to BleacherReport, he now can go back to writing about sports and be paid nothing for it (as opposed to college, where he was paid next-to-nothing.)

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Anyone who plays the game for the love of the game.
Favorite Sports Teams

Phillies, Redskins, Flyers, Sixers, UNC Basketball, all Temple sports
Favorite Coaches

Buddy Ryan, Joe Gibbs, Dean Smith, Roy Williams, Charlie Manuel
All Time Sports Moment

Phillies winning the 2008 World Series. I'm a young buck.
Most Memorable Game Attended

A 13th-inning Phillies-Red Sox game at Veterans Stadium that Todd Pratt hit a walk-off to win. Insane game.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Completely Undefated NFL record. If that Patriots team went 18-1, I think that record is damn near entrenched in stone.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gordie Howe
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty. And that is the most you will ever get from me on NASCAR.
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher. (I think we are talking Michael?)
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEEDS A PLAYOFF SYSTEM.
