About Adam »

Attended Central Michigan University, where I majored in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. Graduated in 2003 with a BS in English. Minored in Political Science. Received Masters of Public Administration from Ohio University in 2004. Though I have moved around a bit since leaving Oak Park, Illinois at the age of fifteen, I have always been a Chicago kid at heart and my favorite sports team has always been the Chicago Blackhawks.

I couldn't be more excited about the team's play so far this season, especially considering the ten plus years of crushing mediocrity this team exhibited up until last year. I try and follow the prospects, the transactions, the line chemistry... Really, any facet of the Hawks holds interest to me. Hopefully, I can share some of that passion with the sporting world. No, I'm not a cheerleader, as my first article would hopefully indicate. But it's my hope to provide sound and steady analysis of my favorite franchise as the year progresses and perhaps beyond this year as well.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Jeremy Roenick, Michael Jordan, Tony Amonte, Brian Campbell, Duncan Keith, Marian Hossa, Joe Thornton, Patrick Sharp, Magglio Ordonez, Jerome Bettis, Jonathan Toews... I sould probably stop now.
Favorite Sports Teams

Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Fire, LA Kings...See? Not all teams from Chicago!
Favorite Coaches

Joel Quenneville, Denis Savard, Phil Jackson, Mike Ditka, Ozzie Guillen and LOU!
All Time Sports Moment

Seeing a Chicago baseball team win a World Series in my life time.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Last year when the Blackhawks tied the Dallas stars with 2 seconds remaining, then won in overtime. It's almost as though the Hawks knew that this game was my wife's first NHL game at the UC. Just awesome.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

The Great One's 215, Lance Armstrong's 7 straight Tour wins and the Bull's 72-10 record all pop to mind
Ruth or Mays?

Mays
Unitas or Montana?

Montana
Jordan or Russell?

Yeah, that's a tough one for a Chicago fan...
Gretzky or Orr?
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger
Petty or Earnhardt?

Earnhardt
Schumacher or Senna?

Schumacher
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big 10, sadly.
