About Dieter »

Dieter Kurtenbach is a journalism major at the University of Missouri and the host of The Screwballs on KCOU-Columbia. Dieter was recognized by the Missouri Press Association last year for his Mizzou Football feature articles. He spends his time as a Jermaniac, a drunk Gary Pinkel and a man searching for a mortal enemy after the passing of William Wadsworth Wirtz. He is also a life columnist for the Columbia paper The Maneater. That fact really should frighten you.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Ed Hochuli, Jermaine Dye, Bobby Hull, Frank Thomas, Kyle Orton, Eric Desjardins, Jonathan Toews, Ross Gload, Bobby Jenks, Xabi Alonso, a player named Jordan.
Favorite Sports Teams

Chicago White Sox, Chicago Blackhawks, Liverpool FC, Missouri Tigers, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Chicago Bulls,
All Time Sports Moment

Podsednik's walk off home run, game two, 2005 World Series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

I was lucky enough as a youngster to see Jordan hit a game winner against the Charlotte Hornets and their flashy teal pinstripes, live in person.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

200 Points in a season, NHL. That said, Gretzky would have had 250+ in the modern day NHL.
Ruth or Mays?

A and 1. Incomparable, both have legit claim to be the greatest ever. If I had to start a team w/ both in their prime, I would take Mays.
Unitas or Montana?

Unitas. Is this even an argument?
Pele or Maradona?

Maradona, I'm a sucker of post career obesity.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

I live in the the epicenter of the roughest, toughest conference in sport, the Big XII. Therefore I will say the Pac 10.

Hey Dieter

I'm going to do a Chicago Blackhawks collaboration on who the most under-rated Blackhawk if you could just get back to me if you are interested. If so I will give you more details, hoping to get a big turn out for this one.

Hey Dieter,

Noticed that you commented on my James Wisniewski article and called it false and that James will return during the season. I also state he will be back during the 08/09 season. Just thought you should know.

Sweet. What's your e-mail? I'll probably send out four or five questions after the game Sunday night. If you can get your responses back to me sometime Monday afternoon or evening, I can get the article up sometime around the home opener.
