kers2 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I was reading the "Most Hated Athlete" thread before this, and thought I was still in there when I started seeing Steve Prefontaine, Ken Griffey Jr, and Rich Franklin and was like "why would you ever hate them????."I had a response written out before I realized it was the Favorite Athlete thread. I think its time for bed Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteSpade 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 My fave all time was Bo Jackson. Bo knows overall: rich franklin (ufc middleweight champ)Are you serious? If you look at history you can find much more well rounded fighters than him. Which reminds me - Royce Gracie is having a comeback fight at the end of next month against Matt Hughes. I like both of those guys more than Franklin. You can have your opinion though. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Being from Pittsburgh I gotta agree with Fryer. Lemieux and Ward are at the top of my list. Link to post Share on other sites

gkunit20 1 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'm going to go ahead and say Alan Shearer, Kyra Dyer (sp), Zidine Zindane, Roberto Carlos, Schevchenko and Iker Casillas.Top though would be Pele in the old days and Shearer now. Link to post Share on other sites
HtotheNootch 0 Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Adam Graves - without questionHe might not have been the best, and his career was curtailed by injury, but you always knew two things - he left everything he had on the ice, and he was a great person off it.

Swift_Psycho 1 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm a Prefontaine fan too. Liked Jordan a lot growing up as well. Link to post Share on other sites
CodyHartman 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Billy Crupup or Jared Leto????Donny Ballgame.Don MattinglyJohn ElwayCrudup by far, I like Without Limits about 10x more then Prefontaine. Although here are parts I like in Prefontaine better then W/O Limits. Put them together you get about a 80% accurate picture of what really happened. Link to post Share on other sites

bringsme 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Baseball: Omar Vizquel. Caught his first home run as an indian in my ballcap hanging over the visitors bullpen back in '95 at the jake. My favorite moment EVER at a sporting event. Also the best defensive shortstop i've ever seen.Football: Barry Sanders. not even close. Made Thanksgiving tolerable. Basketball: I hated Michael Jordan most of my life, but looking back, he was incredible. He ALWAYS destroyed the cavs, and once in the playoffs back at the old richfield coliseum(I was in attendance) he hurt his right hand early in the 2nd half(his shooting hand). He couldn't even shoot the ball, but somehow stayed in the game, went to his LEFT the rest of the game and STILL couldn't be stopped, leads the bulls to a come from behind victory.(the most incredible display I have ever witnessed).p.s. Lebron james is quickly moving up this list. Link to post Share on other sites
