The drivebys had a field day when he was biking around the ranch with Lance. <BR/><BR/>That said, my pick would be KG Ray Allen and PP for being back the concept of unselfish team play.BDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05917066808086605245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-43498513275146184862008-12-03T23:59:00.000-05:002008-12-03T23:59:00.000-05:00Don't forget the Obama gets it done island style too:<BR/><BR/>http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/34371/original.jpgjoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06273213793798540656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-54674254044707523572008-12-03T20:28:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:28:00.000-05:00I've been a fan since the early days of the quickie and continue to read your blog and columns because they open up the world of sports. <BR/><BR/>But every time I read your homages to Obama I have to put in my own interjection. "Pause while Dan wipes the excess drool from his chin caused by bobbing on Barack's knob too quickly." Seriously, it gets old fast.<BR/><BR/>Also, no one should complain about claiming Elisha Cuthbert as sloppy seconds!Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04932029176303141951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-48039420384903243742008-12-03T19:54:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:54:00.000-05:00I still think Joe Maddon's the obvious and most deserving choice.Chalkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13330949475097341226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64014159189879726352008-12-03T17:52:00.000-05:002008-12-03T17:52:00.000-05:00Really? I love the guy too but I dunno about that man.<BR/><BR/>In all fairness couldn't you make a strong argument for the current commander-in-chief as just as big (if not more) sports fan too? He fit in far better in the booth at that Nationals Sunday Night Baseball game than in the White House and he was a large (maybe too large) presence at the Olympics. Hell, Obama wanted Bush to boycott the Olympics if I remember correctly (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here).DougOLishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00088443520858068749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-13024814786363338632008-12-03T17:41:00.000-05:002008-12-03T17:41:00.000-05:00Military bases?

The three levels would be individual professional, individual amateur participant, and sports team of the year. Here are my selections:<BR/><BR/>Individual professional: Michael Phelps (he's been paid very well for his swimming for many years!)<BR/><BR/>Individual amateur participant: Barack Obama (for the reasons Dan mentioned in the Quickie.)<BR/><BR/>Sports team: New York Giants (They proved everyone wrong last February, and despite all kinds of distractions this season are odds-on favorites to repeat in the Super Bowl this February.)birdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06089995293849314248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-42380963250501736062008-12-03T13:02:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:02:00.000-05:00Once again, Darvin Ham is overlooked.
