Tristan's Bio

Raised in Portland, Oregon, I have followed our only professional sports team for my whole life and will be a Blazers fan until I die. There is nothing I hate more than when my "friends" that are Laker fans show me the video of Shaq's alley-oop from Kobe in the 2000 playoffs. I attend the University of Oregon and love Duck football and basketball (despite our off year) and am ecstatic about Duck baseball finally returning. I love all things NBA and spend my Sundays every week during NFL season planted in front of the TV.

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

Favorite Athletes

Brandon Roy, Shaq, Chris Paul, Rasheed Wallace, Arvydas Sabonis, Brian Dawkins, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Paul, Jonathon Stewart, Levance Fields, Ricky Rubio, and Patrick Chung (to name a few)
Favorite Sports Teams

Blazers, Ducks
Most Memorable Game Attended

Not as many as I'd like, but watching the Ducks beat Cal in overtime a few years ago is up there.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's consecutive games
Ruth or Mays?

Mays was more versatile, unless you count competive eating that Ruth did on the side
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan, pretty tough to disagree with that one
Federer or Sampras?

Federer
Tiger or Nicklaus?

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

Pac 10, obviously

Tristan,

Aron Glatzer asked me to compile the official B/R NFL Power Groupings for Week Two. (Angel Navedo did the same for week one).

If you get a chance, and could edit, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Tristan, thank you for the edits and the kind words. Much appreciated. How about those new Duck uniforms? I especially like the "Steel" and whatever they named the black ones.

I sound like a parrot. But thanks for the edits. They most definitely improved the article. And thanks for the flattery!

I think that's why I keep writing here. You guys really know how to make a hobby writer feel like a pro! Thanks.
