    Favorite Sport #1: Soccer
    Team:*WorldCup
    Players:Henry, Bergkamp, Klinsman, and by far one of the greatest of all time, Zizou. That is right, I said it. Read it and weep! Dominated the best team in the world, Brazil, twice in two different World Cups. Despite his short temper, he has shown skill that only few possess and all wish to have.
    Moment:Zizou's humiliation of Brazil in the 1998 World Cup. Single-handedly put France on the map. Henry's amazing skill with Arsenal, too many moments to describe.
    Favorite Sport #2: NCAAF
    Team:Notre Dame Fighting Irish
    Players:I love the Irish, they are the reason I met my future wife. She is an alumnus and took me to the campus in the fall of 2007. I finally got a chance to fulfill one of my many wishes.
    Moment:Watching Alabama destroying the over-rated Hurricanes in the early 90's.

    Team:Green Bay Packers
    Players:Sterling Sharpe, Brett Favre(despite it all), Reggie White(RIP), Gilbert Brown.

    Favorite Sport #4: Tennis
    Players:Agassi, Nadal, Graf, Seles.
    Moment:Watching Agassi's ability to win all four majors. Sampras is great, but he never won the French Open. Quality as opposed to Quantity. You decide.
