About Sierra »

My friends often question and criticize my love for sports. I explain that I, along with millions of other people, love sports for many reasons.

Sports profile the wondrous abilities of the human body, especially when fit. The joy of teamwork, thrill of strategizing, and excitment of rooting for a team cannot be matched outside the world of organized sports.

I grew up in Southern California, recently graduated from UCLA, and live in Los Angeles. I root for teams across the state - yes, even rival teams..... but the hometown always comes first, if it comes down to it! :)

...I wish I had more time to spend on B/R!

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Bruins! ANAHEIM Angels (yes, I take it personally. It's insulting. Anaheim is not in LA. In traffic, which is pretty much always, Anaheim is actually really far from LA.). Giants. Warriors. Lakers. 49ers. Chargers.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Howland. Scioscia. Nellie (definitely the funniest coach around). Mr. Phil Jackson. Singletary cuz he's brave.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Watching Barry Bonds chase the HR record in that summer of '07. I could never forget that swing, that eye, that moment of just knowing he is about to crack it, than hearing the smack and watching the ball soar.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Each and every Giants game... Those few childhood Angels game with my parents and friends.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Tough one. Barry, for now.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Nadal!

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger....

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Death to NASCAR.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

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

    Pac 10!

Remember Leon Lett’s blunder in the Super Bowl? And Thanksgiving? Today he is in the news, but for something much more noteworthy. Please check out my new article, and let me know what you think. Thanks, Michael

This is a new one for me. It's not an NFL article. It's not an MLB article. It's not even a Top 10 list.

This is the story of one of the most incredible athletes I have ever heard about. I bought his autobiography a week ago and read the entire thing in one sitting. Check this out if you get a chance!

Thanks for the edit. I changed the category back to breaking news as the story is confirmed and is not just a rumor.
