    Most of the things on the list I haven't covered because I'm not in proximity of any of those.
    But, I've covered more NASCAR/NHRA/Indy events than can be counted without an abacus. I've covered college sports, both men and women, both major and obscure, at every level imaginable.

    I always do like to say I've hit the 7-7-7 in terms of one on one sitdowns with Dale Earnhardt (Winston Cup championships), Lance Armstrong (Tours de France) and Roger Clemens (Cy Youngs).
