Alrite, so in honor of the link on Matty's away message today (http://soxanddawgs.com/?p=1433) I've got to ask this question:
Barring the easy and abundantly obvious choice (Roger Clemens), who is the the single active player in sports who has just been holding on too long, and needs to do his legacy a favor and retire?
Things to consider: You're going to have a better chance of winning with a player who was once legendary and is now ruining his legacy, as opposed to a journeyman who has always been sort of mediocre and remains mediocre even in old age. Is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter-day sins? Is it better to burn out than to fade away? And with that it should be pretty clear who won yesterday.
Yesterday's winner: Cardamone because Elle is hot, and he quoted Nick Hornby. I'll ignore (and have deleted) the shots he chose to take at Jet, a band I happen to love in light of the Hornby quotation.
No-brainer, it's Elle MacPherson...aka the woman I wanted to have sex with before I knew I was supposed to want to have sex with women. (thanks Hornby)
Nothing better than being like seven years old and sneaking out my dad's Swimsuit Issues to see pics of Elle.

So I have to say, despite this question being inspired by me, I had a hard time answering it. I have to say Eric Lindros. Think about it. He was amazing in Philadelphia. Unstoppable. Then Scott Stevens came across center ice like a freight train and ended him. Twice. He just keeps going and keeps playing year after year. he inevitably gets hurt and misses 30-40 games. People are no longer going to remember Eric Lindros as a dominant force and former league MVP, they are going to remember him as an injury prone spoiled brat, and the poster boy for why you keep your head up in the neutral zone. He isn't ruining his legacy. He already buried it.
Hands down, Brett Favre.
If he could, that man would play until he needed a halfback to push him around in a wheelchair. He was MVP three consecutive years, but the last time was in 1997, which is also the last time he got the Pack to the Super Bowl--10 YEARS AGO!
He's third on the all-time wins list for QB's, trailing Elway by 9.
If he can produce one more .500+ season to take the sop spot, he should retire on top. If he can't make .500, the Pack needs to look for someone who can.
I'm picking the gunslinger. For years, NFL announcers and reporters have lined up to slobber at the feet of Brett Favre. Throws into triple coverage that get picked off aren't bad throws, they show how competitive he is and what a gunslinger he is. They never mention that this is a man who doesn't have the arm he used to, and because of that, is now a mediocre at best QB because he never thought the position like guys like Brady or Manning do. He's just a southern retard who used to have a great arm.
Then they say the Packers have to do more to help him, when he chased away Javon Walker, who's pretty damn good, by talking about how Walker needed to end his holdout and get to camp. The media tripped over each other to kiss his ass about that, while never calling him out for his juvenile, maybe I'll retire, maybe I won't hostage-holding act over the Pack in the offseason.
Favre's a bitch who's gotten way too much of a pass, and his ass needs to stay in Mississippi.
spooooooorts.
Curt Schilling. When he's on, he's on...when he's not, it is a diaster and public humiliation.
Plus the man showed up spring training with a belly bigger than Santa's and demanded a contract extension after one of his worst years in the majors in 2006.
please...
Jet would be non existent if it wasn't for ACDC.
That shot was rightly made.
and I believe it should be spelled out...
"Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi"
Sports. Lame. Continue.
I'm with Matty on Lindros.
That sounds dirty. :-)
I wish he had taken the hint when Scott Stevens took him out like Brian McConnell wrecks Eagles during the Beanpot. Look around Lindros, no one wants to see you anymore. Give it up.
Ray,
Not having a penis does not mean I can be disqualified from a sports question.
Sincerely,
The Girl
