Cool article. Don't agree with most of the choices on there. At the end of the day, quality will prevail. The guy whos got BJ and A. Silva has the best team so far in my opinion.

Ripken's record is so overrated that it annoys me. Baseball is not physical enough for that record to be so highly touted. Its great that he showed up everyday for work, 6 months out of the year, for 16 years, but it ain't that great. I liked the suggestion about Cael Sanderson, 159-0 is a very impressive feat.

Ripken doesn't impress me enough to be #1. Where's Favre's consecutive starts record????? Cy Young's 511 wins will never be broken. Marciano's 49 wins were against lame and over the hill opponents.

Kornheiser is the classic "jack of all trades, master of none". His limited knowledge about (almost) every sport allows him to form a semi-educated opinion on (almost) every sport. His opinions stink most of the time and he's absolutely horrible on Sunday night football as well.

I admire Marvin Hagler so much that I named my dog Hagler. Seriously. What a great champion.

Calzaghe is one of those old guys I was referring too. He'll probably retire after Hopkins decisions him. Pavlik vs Trinidad is not a set fight. Pavlik will probably lose to Arthur Abraham before that ever happens. Mayweather vs Cotto is the only fight I wanna see after Calzaghe vs Hopkins is over.

How Taylor can go from hanging with Wright and Hopkins to losing twice to Kelly Pavlik, is beyond me. It must be a mental thing for Taylor at this point because Pavlik is a joke. At this point they're both jokes, they look like amateurs in the ring together. I hate to say it, but boxings future is looking bleaker and bleaker. All of the big name characters in every class are getting old and soon all we'll be left with is Cotto and Mayweather. After them who cares.

I see some upsets happening this weekend. I like the road dogs in the NFC.

Chico is right, when done masterfully, it is sweet. There is so much more technique, in good boxing, than meets the eye. As far as Floyd vs Hatton goes; I believe that Floyd will win by decision, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Hatton get knocked out.

Leftwich is a lop. They're better off with Garrard for now. But they might think about making that position a top priorty for next years draft or a trade.

Jim Grey is the most annoying sportscaster in the world, hands down. But Bob Costas is a close second. Such an annoying little man.

Vick will go down in history as ONE of the most OVERHYPED players in the history of the NFL. Mark my words.

Sheffield is a chump with a big fat chip on his shoulder. His appetite for the spotlight can only be fed by opening his big mouth these days. His ball playing ability alone, is not enough to garner the attention he craves.

I wouldn't consider the rope a dope chicken shit...it ended in a knock out. "It's not like Mayweather was some club boxer from Bumfuck, Montanta. He already had some titles of his own and is considered one of, if not the best, boxers in professional boxing." But he wasn't the champion at 154 lbs. Its that simple.

Mayweather looked better in the late rounds because Oscar was tired from chasing his little ass around the ring all night. Dethroning champions in such a lame and indecisive manner is bad for the sport and won't win Pretty Boy the fan base that he so badly wants. Move down in weight for everyones sake.

Boring fight, not very many clean punches landed by either fighter. Mayweather played out his chicken shit game plan and won the only way he possibly could. He needs to move down in weight and provide some more entertaining fights. Possibly against Cotto, Hatton, Mosely, Paul Williams, and I'd love to see him destroy the wildly overrated Antonio Margarito.

This fight will be a lot closer than most people think. Floyd is not as fast as he is given credit for, and Oscar is not a slow as he is being made out to be. Oscar's size, speed, heart, and experience will go a long way for him in this fight. Oscar by split decision. As for the death of boxing...it is the lack of appealing characters and stories that are killing it.

The 96' Packers and the 04' Patriots are both ranked way to high on that list.

Media attention is like crack cocaine to this guy. If he ain't getting the attention he goes into withdrawls. He'll do anything or say anything to get that attention back on him. And right now he's high as a kite.

Making this a race issue just creates racism. People are people and if YOU create differences then YOU are the racist. WAKE UP! Congrats to all.

Saints vs Colts in SB41. Go Saints! But, unfortunatly, I'm predicting a Colts win in Miami. Go Hawks in 2007!

If the Seahawks can manage to keep their heads out of their asses for 4 quarters on Sunday, they have a very good shot at winning in Chicago. But its been a rare sight to see the Seahawks heads out of their asses this season. Anyways...Go Seahawks!

Now scoring and playing well isn't good enough for the guy. T.O. is scratching and clawing (and spitting) for any kind of attention.

Chiefs trade Jared Allen to Minnesota:
With the Williams brothers and Allen, that d-line will dominate. This team looks great, on paper. If T. Jackson doesn't f-up too bad, they will definitly be contenders.
