Most Memorable Game Attended

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns; January 5, 2003 @ Heinz Field After being down 24-7 late in the third quarter, the Stillers rallied back to defeat their most hated rival in the wild-card round of the playoffs, in the snow, in front of a raucous home crowd. The comeback began with an interception by Mike Logan as the Browns were driving towards putting the game out of reach.


Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak.


Ruth or Mays?

Mays due to more attractive girth.


Unitas or Montana?

I can't pick one Western PA football product over another.


Jordan or Gretzky?

The real question should be: Jordan or Lemieux? Gretzky never beat Hodgkin's Disease.


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

Big 10 football and Big East basketball -- physical and defensive beats flashy and offensive any day.
