Sports Talk

It's been a while since I just chatted sports. Here you go:

Most dominant players of the past decade:
Basketball--Kobe Bryant (Shaq would be 2nd. Lebron hasn't been around long enough)
Baseball--Barry Bonds (with or without roids, the dude was feared. A-Rod would be 2nd, but he chokes in clutch situations)
Football--B-Farve
College Football--Vince Young
Golf--Tiger (if you think someone else, you need serious help)

Least favorite player of the past decade:
Basketball--(Honestly, I just don't have one)
Baseball--A-Roid (who else did you think I'd choose)
Football--Ben Roethlisberger (don't know why; just don't like him)
College Football--Maurice Clarett (I do feel a little sorry for him)
Golf--Rory Sabbatini (dude, don't talk smack to Tiger two weeks in a row...on the other hand, do it so that we can watch him beat you down two weeks in a row)

My Favorite Teams:
Basketball--Dallas Mavericks
Baseball--Rangers/Astros (Cards are gaining)
Football--Da Boys
College Football--Nebraska Cornhuskers

My Least Favorite Teams:
Basketball--Celtics. Suns aren't too far behind
Baseball--Yankees
Football--Giants, Redskins, Eagles (pick one)
College Football--(USC, Notre Dame, and Colorado)

You?

    Most dominant players of the past decade:
    Basketball--Not sure on this one, but I CAN'T say it's Kobe b/c he's a cheap imitation of MJ
    Baseball--tie between Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens (both of whom were already really good before they cheated)
    Football--Tom Brady (hands down)
    College Football--Tim Tebow
    Golf--Tiger Woods

    Least favorite player of the past decade:
    Basketball--Kobe Bryant

  2. I like that -- especially your comments on golf. I can't argue with your least favorite golfer being Rory, but I think mine is Sergio Garcia.

    As a lifelong Cowboys fan, with the embarrassing shadow of their past greatness that now exists under the worst owner in history (a clone of Al Davis), I now find myself rooting against them. Follow me here: Only in hopes that they will get so bad that Jerry will sell them. As long as he is owner, I will root for even the hated Eagles, Giants and Redskins.

    And greatest basketball player? I thought FOR SURE that you would pick John Stockton!:)

  3. Most dominant players of the past decade:
    Basketball-- I'd go with Kobe-move it out a few more years and I'd say Shaq.
    Baseball--I want to go with Roger Clemens since pitching wins championships but it's hard to pick a pitcher who goes every 4-5 games. I'll go with Manny Ramirez for offense. I think he is/was as scary as Bonds without the 'roid homers.
    Football--Tom Brady
    College Football--Vince Young
    Golf--Tiger

    Least favorite player of the past decade:
    Basketball--Ron Artest, Kobe
    Baseball--Barry Bonds
    Football--Quincy Carter
    College Football--not sure
    Golf--I like Tiger, I like Phil, I like Kenny Perry. Not sure who else plays.

    My Favorite Teams:
    Basketball--Cleveland Cavaliers
    Baseball--Rangers/Astros/Cards/Padres/Dodgers/Rockies
    Football--San Diego Chargers/Denver Broncos
    College Football--TEXAS LONGHORNS
    College Basketball (my addition to the list)--Duke, NC, Texas

    My Least Favorite Teams:
    Basketball--Dallas Mavericks because they stink and are local followed closely by Lakers and Pistons
    Baseball--Royals, they are a joke
    Football--Redskins, Eagles, Giants, Steelers
    College Football--Zero University, USC, ND
