Re: Off Topic 2013

Football was probably former Steelers QB, Bubby Brister. It's a funny story though (and I feel like I've already told it). Around the time he played for the Steelers my little sister was a toddler and had a blanket she always carried around with her which she called her "bubby". So, whenever my dad or I would mention his name she would get excited and repeat "bubby" in an excited voice.

Baseball was probably Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla, or Andy Van Slyke. I actually dressed up as Van Slyke for halloween when I was in 5th grade.

Hockey, probably Lemieux. Another funny story from when I was in 5th grade during the Pens 2nd Stanley Cup run when they ultimately beat the Blackhawks. One day one of my classmates was wearing a Mario Lemieux jersey and during our music class the teacher asked "What's with this Lemieux thing" or something like that while pronouncing "Lemieux" like "Lem-ee-ucks". I don't know if he was really that ignorant of hockey or if he was just messing around, though I don't remember him being one of the teachers who liked to joke around either.

NBA - No idea, but probably Michael Jordan since I came to be a Bulls fan when I was a kid. Though I don't really follow basketball, if I had to choose I'd still say I'm a Bulls fan since they were my favorite team back then.
