Amanda
Friend Amanda on ESPN Fan Profiles!
If you could only watch one sport for the rest of your life which would it be? "Without a doubt college football. I most identify with my Penn State roots, and I don't really have a professional team that I'm that passionate about. Plus, I love the theater of college football. the bands, the cheerleaders, the live and die aspect of each week. Doesn't get any better."
Where would you like to go for your next vacation? "Where I want to go for vacation depends on the time of year. If it's March, I want somewhere warm. If it's November or December going to a ski destination is appealing. My favorite vacation is actually a tie -- a Mediterrean cruise in August of 2007 and my honeymoon in Aruba in November 2006."
Best sporting event you've ever attended? "This is a tough one. Probably the BCS title game between Florida and Ohio State."
Favorite day of the week? "Friday after the show -- isn't that everybody's favorite?"
Favorite food? "Chicken parmesean. Not even close. One time I ate it four days in a row for dinner.

If you could only watch one sport for the rest of your life which would it be? "Easy question -- women's beach volleyball!"
Where would you like to go for your next vacation? "Aruba -- I've been going there with my family for over 20 years. I crash at Drunk Uncle Peeper's pad. Cheap drinks, warm weather and casino's that pay (and don't tax!)"
Best sporting event you've ever attended? "Game 1 of the 2007 World Series -- Josh Beckett began the game by striking out the side, then Pedroia led off the bottom of the 1st with a blast over the Monsta'! It was raining, but I couldn't feel it at all!"
Favorite day of the week? "Friday -- nothing like wrapping up the work week! It always feels good to come into work knowing that when you're done at the end of the day you have two days off!"
Favorite food? "Alcohol counts as food right?? I mean, it's made from grain and sugar?? Grilled cheese, McDonald's French Fries, Geno's cheese steaks and good New Haven style pizza!"
Favorite holiday? "Hmmm.... I work every holiday, so a holiday for me is an actual day off! But, Christmas Eve with my family is always the premiere night of the year for me and my relatives. We're closers!"
Place you want to go that you've never been? "Los Angeles -- hands down it's Hollywood!"
Where are you from? "Born in Bayonne, NJ - right across the river from NYC, but Raised East Haddam, CT."
What sports did you play in high school? "Swimming -- yes, I wore a Speedo! Played a little soccer and tennis too, but I try not to tell people that!"
What do you do in your free time? "If I told you I knitted sweaters for homeless people, would you believe me?? Figured you wouldn't. So, I'll be honest and tell you that I hang out at Mohegan Sun, sip cocktails, and hone my skills as a sports handicapper! Not to mention -- fix everything that breaks at Colin's house!"
Vince
Friend Vince on ESPN Fan Profiles!
If you could only watch one sport for the rest of your life which would it be? It's gotta be the NFL. Living in CT, I don't often get to see my hometown Eagles, but that doesn't mean I'm not glued to the TV. Even a game between two bad teams is often good enough to watch."
Where would you like to go for your next vacation? "My yearly stops are Disney World and Cape May, New Jersey, but if I could go anywhere, it would have to be Hawaii. I love being surrounded by water and would hope to see a 20-30 foot wave while I was there."
Best sporting event you've ever attended? "Game 5 of the 2008 World Series -- both nights! I sat through all the rain on Monday night then drove four hours on Wednesday to see the final three innings! World Champion Phillies -- still sounds great!"
Favorite day of the week? "Saturday. Only day I get to sleep in and not worry about work the next day!"
Favorite food? "Anything Italian is fine by me. Even though I'm allergic to shellfish, seafood is also one of my favorites!"
Favorite holiday? "Christmas by far -- being with my family and seeing my kids so happy is the best feeling in the world."
Place you want to go that you've never been? "Italy. I've never had the chance to travel overseas, but I've heard great things."
Where are you from? "Philadelphia suburbs -- a little town called Boothwyn, PA. Yeah, Delco!"
What sports did you place in high school? "Captain of my swim team. Tried my hand at basketball and wrestling."
What do you do in your free time? "Spend time with my family. There's always a swim meet, dance class, or cheerleading practice to take them to. When I'm alone, I'm either on the Internet, working out or sleeping."
