No favorite athlete, but my favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings. Being from Michigan, I played hockey growing up and even dreamed of playing hockey in the NHL.

I would choose Phil Mickleson. I have begun to follow golf more closely and attended the Quail Hollow tournament. I watched Phil play and gained a tremendous amount of respect for him.
