Brian Boothby aka BOOTHBooth is our resident golf expert and is the most logical of the three of us. He is currently a civil engineer, but if that falls through, sabermetrics might be in his future. He continually is improving his golf game and continues to tear up courses around the state. Despite his frame, Booth was also a tenacious enforcer for his high school hockey team. In 2007, he tried to watch an entire NASCAR race, but after 7 laps, he quit. His only comment, "This is dumb."

Most Memorable Sports Moment: "I will never forget sitting on the couch at my parents house watching Tiger Woods win the 1997 Masters. He didn't just win, he dominated. He won his first major by 12 strokes at the age of 21; I doubt anyone even remembers who placed second. I will always remember that day, not only because Tiger was the youngest ever to win a major and that he crushed the field, but because I knew that golf had changed forever. I knew I was seeing the greatest golfer of our time start a career that would go down in history. What a great day for golf. Oh and for anybody that's interested, Tom Kite was second."

Erd's Final Word: Well said Booth, perhaps a tad bit better than Fuzzy Zoeller. . .
Erd is your tell-it-as-it-is guy who generally is right. At least in his own mind, enough so that he is writing about himself in the third person present progressive. Back in his prime, Erd was a three-sport; rushing the passer in the fall, pulling down rebounds in the winter, and scooping balls out of the dirt in the spring. He still plays basketball during the winter, but now spends most of his time watching the sports he loves, and if there is a fantasy league for it, he probably has done it.

Favorite Sports Movie: Rocky IV
All-Time Sports Hero: Dan Marino
Most Memorable Sports Moment: "The one single moment in sports that I will remember vividly for the remainder of my life is David Tyree's catch in Superbowl XLII. The fact that the Giants ruined the Patriots bid for a perfect season was enough to make this game memorable, but Tyree's catch may just be the greatest play in Super Bowl history. I remember sharing the moment with a group of my college buddies and as I look back on it, I continue to marvel at the irony of the Giants playing David and the Patriots playing Goliath."
Erd's Final Word: I wonder if anyone told this woman that the Patriots actually didn't win. . .
Nick Evans aka PUKKA
Most Memorable Sports Moment: "I've been a die-hard hockey fan and Chicago Blackhawks fan my entire life. They were on one of the longest droughts in professional sports, so when Patrick Kane put the puck in the back of the net to win the Stanley Cup last year, my lifelong devotion was rewarded. I was at a bar watching the game with a ton of people and I was the only one who knew the puck was in right away. So when everyone else was standing there thinking the game was still going on, I was already celebrating what many fans had waited 49 years for."
Erd's Final Word: It was definitely an amazing goal, but the whole world watched this one. . .

Known for his straight-billed hats and his occasional wristband, Evans is the homer of our group. Despite his skewed views on sports, he still knows his stuff and is riding a recent hot streak of fantasy success. He is an avid hunter (for deer and ladies alike), but his true love is hockey. For the past 20 years, Evans has been minding the nets at various levels of hockey. He would be the first to buy season tickets if an NHL franchise moved to Wisconsin.
