About

I'm originally from the thriving metropolis of Jackson, Alabama. I played football and baseball my entire life there. Ended up going to the University of Alabama and Majoring in Materials Engineering. Currently, I live in Cartersville, GA just up the road from Atlanta. It's basically Jackson, Alabama 2.0. I make excellent tacos.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Anyone in Alabama Crimson, lots of baseball players, Was a huge Bash Brothers fan as a kid. Now that seems so dirty. Actually most of my childhood heros have been accused of steroids. Except Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He's a crack head.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Bama, Tampa Bay Rays, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Braves

  • Favorite Coaches

    Nick Saban, Joe Maddon

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The George Teague Strip of Lamar Thomas in the Sugar Bowl. Honestly my first sports memory.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    The Mt. Cody Field Goal Block against Tennessee in 09. I took my Dad to his first Alabama game that day and it was awesome.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Cy Young's Career wins. It's just mathematically impossible. Or Wilt's 10,000 women.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. More complete. Ruth was a one trick pony, though he was circus star good at that trick.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana. Better haircut=Unitas.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan, though he's a horrible person I hear

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. I one day hope to also be called "The Great One"

  • Pele or Maradona?

    I at least know who Pele is

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras, tennis was better then.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger, no one more dominating in their prime, though he is a cautionary tale of the evils of hot chicks...though it's hard to blame him.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty, Earnhardt was great though. Even greater is seeing stickers on the back windows of trucks that are a #3 witha halo around it.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Skip Schumacher???? He's the worst second baseman ever. Actually, I don't watch open wheel racing.

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

    SEC=6 in a row. I loved their commercial during the championship game. Just rubbing it in.

    Can you send me the hiting and pitching projections you used. Dhuber7@aol.com, Thanks. Great articles. My league also uses k's for hitters and losses for pitchers, any idea on a formula to penalize high strike out guys for the hitting and losses for pitchers?

    Thanks for the invite to the fantasy league. However, I'm already in (and run) enough leagues as it is and just too many things on my plate right now
