Paul Pierce, Jarred Allen, Tony G, Anthony G, Grade Sizemore, Ryan Garko, Fausto Carmona, Jose Reyes, Jake Peavy, Pedro Martinez

and my newest fav athlete is MARSHAWN LYNCH

Bills2083 · 12-10-2007, 04:35 PM

LT (Who else saw that segment of him on 60 minutes last night? He is not a me, me, me player. He works with charity, gives underprivelaged kids many things, and he's a great player.)

Marshawn Lynch (He never gives up on any play, and he is a hilarious person)

Jason Peters (He stuck with our team even though he was a UDFA TE, and now he's one of the best LTs in the game)

Michael Jordan (He was my role model growing up)

10. Randy Johnson - Would be higher if he played longer with the M's. Regardless, he's one of the top three strikeout pitchers of all-time.

9. Olaf Kolzig - OH-LEE! OH-LEE! OH-LEE! I don't know how many times I've chanted that during a game but I'm willing to bet it's more than anything else.

8. Alexander Ovechkin - No player has done more with less over the last two seasons than Ovechkin. Unlike Crosby, he can actually check and play defense.

7. Ichiro Suzuki - Best contact hitter ever? Possibly. Without his success the imports such as Godzilla, Dice-K, and several others would still be over in Japan.

6. Vince Young - The best college quarterback I've ever seen(including highlight films from the past) and one hell of a prospect. I can only dream what the future awaits.

5. David Robinson - Even though I hate the current Spurs, Robinson is one of kindest athletes in the history of sports. I've never been a Spurs fan(although I did root for them during their first title run) but Robinson was great. Plus, he played for Navy.

4. Dale Hunter - I went to grade school with one of his sons. Yeah, he was a douche sometimes but he was always the first on the and the last to leave(unless he got a misconduct). He gave 100 percent every game of his career and belongs in the NHL Hall of Fame.

3. Steve McNair - One of the toughest quarterbacks in NFL history. He sucks now but his time with the Titans will always have a place in my heart.

2. Edgar Martinez - One of the top five hitters of the ninties and hopefully a future HOFer. Plus, he ALWAYS ****ed up the Yankees. Oh and there's that prefromance in the 95 ALDS that saved the franchise.

1. Ken Griffey, Jr. - The player who made me a Mariners fan. You can make a serious arguement that no player(save for Ruth) was as good over the course of a decade than Griffey was in the 90's. Since he and Edgar are my top two, I have to include this image...

There's that minor problem where Crosby plays defense and Ovechkin doesn't. Crosby excels in all areas of the ice, Ovechkin not so much. If you're going to use reasons make sure they're actually accurate. Ovechkin doesn't play defense for ****. I've never seen Crosby benched for not playing D, and I can't say the same for Ovechkin.

Crosby does not excel at checking. He is not a better checker or defender than Ovechkin from what I've seen. He has a far better supporting cast than Ovechkin and that helps him greatly. Although, according to every media outlet in the world Crosby is just as good as Gretzky was at this point in his career.

Hell yeah. After Miller retired, the NBA wasn't the same for me. I barely even keep track of it anymore. I check to see how the Cavs are doing but with LeBron out, you really don't have to check lately. I was hoping Miller came back for one season with Boston just to get his ring, but same time glad he didn't.

Loved his cockiness with the broom in sweeping the knicks, and his Spike Lee antics. Mr. Knick Killer himself...
