About Jacob »

From St. Louis area, huge Cardinals fan. Cowboys fan as well (St. Louis didn't have a football team when I was a kid) also root for the Rams. Don't really care much for the NBA but root for the Bulls. Notre Dame, Fightn' Illini, Saluki, and Sun Devil fan to.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Ozzie Smith, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Jim Edmonds, Darryl Kile, Ken Griffey Jr, Bo Jackson, Rick Ankiel, and Dan Marino.
Favorite Sports Teams

St. Louis Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Bulls, Fightin' Irish Football, Illini Basketball & Football, and ASU Baseball.
Favorite Coaches

Tony LaRussa, Jimmy Johnson, Phil Jackson, Whitey Herzog, Lou Holtz, Joe Paterno, Bill Parcells, and Jimmy Valvano.
All Time Sports Moment

My favorite is when Jim Edmonds hit the walkoff homer against the Astros in game 6 of the 2004 NLCS. Another is when the Cardinals clinched the '06 world series.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Has to the last regular season game at Bush Stadium.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Brett Farve's Iron man streak.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth changed the way the game was played. Went down as the greatest hitter but could have also gone down as the greatest pitcher.
Unitas or Montana?

Both were great but I'll take Montana. He went to ND
Jordan or Russell?

Nobody was or ever will be better than Michael Jeffery Jordan.
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele
Federer or Sampras?

If Federer can't win another grandslam it will stay Sampras but most likely when it's all said and done Federer.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

I would have said Tiger if you asked me a year ago so after his performance at the US Open there can be no question....... Tiger is number 1.
Petty or Earnhardt?

I always loved the King and there was nobody better than him in his day but The Intimidator was just scary.
Schumacher or Senna?

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

SEC: Football, ACC: Bastketball, and Big 12:Baseball
