About Luis »

I'm a stats junky. I've been playing with NFL data and trying to tease out some baseball prospectus style data.

Check out the website www.nflstatsnalysis.net

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Steve Young, Dan Marino, Randy Moss, Ray Bourque, Ron Francis, Wayne Gretzky, Drew Bledsoe, Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane, Peyton Manning, Cam Neely, Don Mattingly, Manny Ramirez,
Favorite Sports Teams

I'm pretty agnostic when it comes to sports teams - I just love competition. The exceptions are my college and my parents' homeland. Providence College Hoops, Portugal's Soccer Team I grew up a fan of NY teams (Yankees, Jets, Knicks) and the Hartford Whalers. But, I moved to Boston, so I'm not a fan of NY sports anymore. And the Whalers......let's not get into that.
All Time Sports Moment

Parcells motioning for Jimmy Johnson to keep his "chin up" after the Giants crushed the Cowboys early in Johnson's career. PC winning Big East championship in 94. Sox comeback in 04. Ron Artest jumping into the stands in Detroit..... The look on the face of anyone who wins a championship after yahoos around the world say they couldn't (Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Ray Bourque)
Most Memorable Game Attended

Haven't attended many......but, 1995 game 1 of the Yankees - Mariners series. Don Mattingly's first playoff game......game 4 of the 1999 world series.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Dan Marino's.......uhh....scratch that. Bill Russell's 11 rings.
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth
Unitas or Montana?

Montana
Pele or Maradona?

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

Big East

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/261261-dear-bleacher-report-please-bring-back-the-old-format

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

If you get the chance, check out my newest article. What the future holds for the offensive line of the Steelers.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/208782-what-to-expect-from-the-steelers-offensive-line-after-this-year

A lot of people may not agree with me, but I think in time, everyone will see that this is a real possibility.

Thanks,
