<< Joe Dimagio >>


LOL, what a dirtbag. There are so many classy athletes who play in New York like Mike Piazza, Al Leiter and Mike Mussina, but you like Dimaggio?!
I probably respect Lance Armstrong more than any other athlete in the world though.

 

[Pastore]

First of all, no baseball player is a real athlete...

Second of all, Michael Lewis is the greatest athlete ever.

 

[SALvation]

The entire Red Wings team.

Who else would take a cut in salary to let another superstar play on the team so that you could win a championship?

 

[Koeppster]

Gianfranco Zola. And even though he's been crocked for most of the last two seasons, I still really find Alessandro Del Piero a joy to watch.

For American sports, I like Kevin Garnett, I used to like Jeremy Roenick when he was a Blackhawk, and Mark Grace when he was a Cub.

Jan Ullrich - cycling
Udo Bolts - triathlon
Grant Hackett - swimming
