1. Are pro sports today better than ever? Only the NFL because there's more parity. The NBA,NHL and MLB have mostly no surprises every season.
2. Does the Madden curse exist? Yes
3. How do you feel about the BCS? it's terrible, they need a playoff system. The whole ranking stuff is garbage especially this past season.
4. Would you care if your favorite athlete was gay? no
5. What is the toughest coaching job in sports? NFL head coach
6. Is there at least one pro team that you hate? yes, New England Patriots
7. How many hours a week do you spend on sports video games? 3-4
8. How many athletes/coaches/media figures do you follow on Twitter? 0
9. How do you feel about the deep pockets of the Yankees? unfair for the rest of the league, they need a salary cap because the bad teams stay bad for years (ie. Royals, Nationals, Reds)
10. Would you give up a year of your life in exchange for your favorite team to win a championship? no
11. Should betting on sports be legalized? yes
12. Should college athletes be paid? Hell no, they usually get a free ride through school as it is. Pay the students who are actually IN class.
13. Will LeBron stay in Cleveland? yes

1. Are pro sports today better than ever? Yes, except the NBA. The NBA is a joke.
2. Does the Madden curse exist? No. I think you make your own destination.
3. How do you feel about the BCS? It's good, but not fair. Playoffs would be better.
4. Would you care if your favorite athlete was gay? No.
5. What is the toughest coaching job in sports? Hockey, these dudes are axed left and right.
6. Is there at least one pro team that you hate? No. I don't hate teams, just dislike different players.
7. How many hours a week do you spend on sports video games? 2-4.
8. How many athletes/coaches/media figures do you follow on Twitter? None. Don't really understand Twitter or the infatuation with it.
9. How do you feel about the deep pockets of the Yankees? They usually make bad decisions, so I'm indifferent.
10. Would you give up a year of your life in exchange for your favorite team to win a championship? No. You're crazy.
11. Should betting on sports be legalized? Yes, it goes on anyway. It's sad to think some outcomes might be results of certain bets though.
12. Should college athletes be paid? No. Regular students do not get paid to attend a certain university. Maybe the question should be are coaches paid too much?
13. Will LeBron stay in Cleveland? Who cares.

1.Nope, Too much over-rated players in any 4 Major Leagues
2.Oh, definitely it exist!! Just ask Polamalu, Blazing start in his first game 4 tkls then BOOM!! somebody landed on his knees
3.BCS, it's alright this year I think the Bama deserved to be National Champs, but in other cases I DON'T KNOW
4.As long as he's honest from the very start and not revealing it later in his carrer!!!
5.Football
6.Real Madrid
7.Before 6-8 hrs. but as I get old and feel like getting tired of playing the stuff over and over again 2-3 hrs.
8.What the Hell is Twitter?
9.This is why MLB should have a salary cap, It's the fans that suffers, then when they're not winning, players, coaches, Mgmt. doesn't want an interview? that is F***** Up!
At the way they're spending they should win the World Series every year, Plus they have too many over-rated players!!!
10.Nope, Not my problem if they suck
11.Isn't legal already!!
12.Nope, this way they stay hungry to be the best, plus amateur sports is the purest form of competition, no money involve, just pride and passion
13.I think he'll stay in Cleveland if they win the Championship this year, if they don't, don't be surprise if he goes elsewhere
