I guess lately I've been keeping an eye on Carmelo Anthony ever since he led Syracuse to their 1st NCAA basketball championship a few years ago -as a freshman. He's got the skills but I'm afraid that he might fade into the dope and party sub-culture in the NBA...Denver should do well this year, they hav a good stable of athletes and a decent coach.
Michael Vick can sure be electrifying at times but that type of play doesn't usually last too long in the NFL...Donovan McNabb used to run like that in his first couple years too but now it seems like he's trying to prove that he can be the "stand in the pocket" type guy...I don't know why they don't just run him more, it seems silly to me not to use him like that.
Tom Brady Being a life long Pats fan Its the easy choice
Bobby Orr When the Bruins were the Bruins
Ray Bourque A true sportsman
Joe Montana
Jason Veritek He beat up ARod
Curt Shilling What can I add here? Nothing
Wayne Gretsky Undersized and played the game when it was still rough.
