> How was Wayne Gretzky as a skater? Do any hockey players impress you, just in terms of their skating ability?

> I used to be Wayne's neighbor and we played a lot of golf together. He used to tell people it was hard not to be the best skater in his own golf club. Honestly, he is the greatest talent ever to lace up a pair of hockey skates. That's why they call him "The Great One."

> Hey Scott, Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

> Horse-sized duck. I love Chinese food. I can only imagine what they could do with a duck that size, Peking style.

Replying to a redditor:

> What is your moment from Olympic history?

> It's hard to pick but being in the arena when Team USA beat the Soviet Union in Lake Placid has to top the list.
