About

Colin is a sports junkie currently residing in Lawrence, KS. He played soccer for a long time, but now gets his activity fix through biking and backpacking. The profile pic is from when he was about 4, so you can see he's been a Cubs and Bears fan for a long time (the Braves came later). And yeah, he knows you're jealous of the stylin' pants and hot bike.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Walter Payton, Brian McCann, Greg Maddux, Pele

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Da Bears, and Atlanta Falcons

  • Favorite Coaches

    Ditka, Pat Fitzgerald, and Bobby Cox

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    Is this MY all-time sports moment? Because that would be scoring the last goal in the last game during my senior year of soccer. Or just a sports moment I think is all-time? Because that would have to be Jackie Robinson...you know the rest.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Womens' Gold Medal Soccer Match, 1996 Olympics, USA vs. China in Sanford Stadium, Athens GA. It was completely emotional, intense, and insane.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cy Young's 511 career wins.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Williams.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas. Montana may have actually been better, but Unitas wins because his last name sounds like that of a Greek god.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Oh, c'mon. I was born in Chicago.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Orr didn't really ever play for the Blackhawks, and I would have said Gretzky anyway.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele. End of story.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Too close to call. I think Sampras had better competition.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus won SO much playing against great, great players. Gotta go with the Golden Bear.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Car racing is not a sport, so I don't care.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    I don't even think Senna was the best driver of his era, but this is still car racing, so I don't care.

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

    Depends on the sport. SEC dominates football. ACC has the best basketball rivalries, but the Big East may have passed it in quality.

    Hey Colin,

    No problem on Feliz. I'm in larger fantasy leagues too and have to find those diamonds in the rough too. Hope to see more of your good work in the future.

    Might be a bit of both--I also feel older than I ever thought I was but that standards have become lax.

    We seem to have a lot in common. The Cubs and Braves were my favourite teams in the NL before the Brewers switched leagues, and I was always an NL guy. I am not that into MLB now since it's the poorest run of the big three and not as exciting as hockey (NOT in the big three!). We even share attitudes about racing. Glad to have you aboard the site.
