Rob's Bio

Rob lists among his hobbies going to the gym, playing basketball, XBOX, and softball, because now everyone is old and has bad knees... kind of like Kirk Gibson, minus the homeruns, fist pumping, and Wheaties box covers.

Rob greatly enjoys not only writing articles to publish his viewpoints, but to edit lots of works to keep his own skill sharp and learn more about the varying opinions in the wide world of sports.

Rob prides himself as a clairvoyant surveyor of the sports universe. He drafted Plaxico Burress to his fantasy football team one year BEFORE he was traded to the Giants. He subsequently finished in last place.

He has never shot himself in the leg.

He will never name his sons Dustin, Jacoby, Kevin, Brady, Manny, Kobe, or Big Papi.

Rob currently resides in Yonkers, NY.

Robert Maccariello graduated from the Collge of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA in May of 2008, with a BA in Political Science. He served as Co-chair and Director of Sports Programming at the student radio station WCHC 88.1 FM for the past two years. He has broadcasted NCAA Division I football, basketball, and hockey for four years.

The Short List What Rob thinks about sport's most pressing questions

Favorite Athletes

Alex Rodriguez, Roberto Clemente, Paul O'Neill, Michael Irvin, Troy Aikman, Dikembe Mutombo, Shawn Kemp, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Jason Witten, Curtis Granderson, Alexi Kovalev.
Favorite Sports Teams

New York Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Holy Cross Basketball, Hurricanes Football
All Time Sports Moment

Aaron Boone's playoff walk-off home run encapsulates the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Jason Giambi's moon-shot grand slam homerun to dead centerfield, in the pouring rain, in the 14th inning, after 2 AM, to win the game for the Yankees against the Minnesota Twins, 13-12. --or--Holy Cross (#16 Seed) upsets Minnesota (#1 Seed) 4-3 in OT, in the NCAA West Regionals hockey opening round in front of 10,000 fans at UND.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Nolan Ryan's strikeout record: 5,714.
Ruth or Mays?

Babe Ruth at the plate or at the buffet table. Willie in center field.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana, even though the 49ers have a nack of beating up on the Cowboys during that time. The vertical passing game in modern football is 100% different than when Unitas played.
Jordan or Russell?

MJ
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One
Pele or Maradona?

This is America. Soccer is irrelevant.
Federer or Sampras?

I would refer to the above question.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger is the reason why half the country watches golf anyway. If he doesn't play, nobody cares anymore.
Petty or Earnhardt?

How NASCAR is the most popular sport in the country, I cannot fathom.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

um... Patriot League?

Hey Rob,

After 86 years in “The House that Ruth Built,” it still felt weird imagining the Yankees in a new building. In my third trip to the new Yankee Stadium, there were events that finally made it begin to feel like home.

I would love to hear your comments and feedback. Thanks in advance!
