My family and I were huge NASCAR fans at one point so by the time I was 4 or 5 I knew every driver/number/sponsor.

So, whenever my dad or I would mention his name she would get excited and repeat "bubby" in an excited voice.

I kept waiting for the end parenthesis

I'm sick of getting DMCA Notices in my Comcast e-mail for programs/games I already own. Not that I ever check it (maybe once every 3 months when I have to reset my modem through my phone.)

I've gotten about 5 of them in the last year. The sad thing is, every single one was for something I've purchased (or re-purchased) and have downloaded through torrents.

God knows I've bought at least 3-4 copies of FFXI + Expansions since that game has come out. That was my most recent e-mail from whichever ******* has the job to send these emails.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Football: Joe Theisman, Lawrence Taylor

NBA: Magic Johnson, Kareem. Before everybody wanted to be like Mike, everybody in my neighborhood wanted to be like Magic and Kareem. Doing the sky hook was all we ever did.

Soccer: Ronaldo de Lima. IMO he was the 2nd best player Brazil ever had other then Pele. Saw him play in 94 and 96. Thought wow this guy is very good and it got me back into watching soccer again. Prior to then I had stopped watching soccer in 1988.

Hockey - Mario Lemieux. I always thought his last name was funny.

Baseball - Nolan Ryan when he played for the Astros.

Basketball: The number 3 (Allen Iverson) and 23 (Micheal Jordan). Those numbers were always given to the best players on the team. If you look at college and highschool basketball now I bet you the best player on the team is wearing number 3, or 23.

Football: Number 7 (John Elway aka The Greatest Quarterback who ever played and Micheal Vick).

Baseball: McGuire. Sammy Sosa.

[JazzMan]

Football: Brett Favre, Ahman Green, Eric Crouch, Jammal Lord , Darren Sharper, Donald Driver, Randy Moss, Steve McNair, Ray Lewis

Basketball: John Stockton, Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Hakeem Olajuwon

Baseball: Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa (actually tried modeling my batting stance after him in coach pitch. It didn't work), Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling

Hockey: Wayne Gretsky

Soccer: David Beckham

[BlueNGold]

For me I think it goes...

Hockey: Mats Sundin

Basketball: Kobe Bryant (ugh)

Baseball: Carlos Delgado

Football (going CFL here because Canada): Milt Stegall and/or Charles Roberts.

On a completely different subject, I just met a customer at work that looked like a cross between Chuck Norris and the really tall guy with the nail in his head from Happy Gilmore.
