Give us your lists

Hey, I heard a bunch of really cool kids who work at the Sun-Times already came up with a website devoted to top ten lists about four months before the paper started running with this....

Greatest Chicago Sports Moments in the last 50 years!
5.Jordan's shot on Utah
4. Chicago Bears Superbowl Win
3. Chicago White Sox Win Series
2. Bulls 90's Dynasty
1. Bears Draft Forte'

Top 5 moments in Cedric Benson's career with the Bears.

5. Wears dread locks down his back while fans dread him as a back.

4. Claims that he was not trying to resist arrest, he was simply trying to tip toe out of bounds.

3. Denies that he was drunk on the boat just because he was leaning into the wind and crying "I'm flying Jack! I'm flying!"

2. Takes more solid hits than Ricky Williams at a party at Snoop Dog's house.

1. The load smack of the door at Halas Hall hitting him squarely in the ass like a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

Guest blogger for a day if we make the paper?

Added to Roman's list: (and stolen from Wikipedia)

Edward Carl "Eddie" Gaedel (June 8, 1925 – June 18, 1961), born in Chicago, Illinois, was an American dwarf who became famous for participating in a Major League Baseball game.

Gaedel gained immortality in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday, August 19, 1951. Weighing just 65 pounds (29.5 kg), and 3 feet 7 inches (1.09 m) tall, he became the shortest player in the history of the major leagues. He stood 3 feet 4 inches (1.02 m) shorter than Jon Rauch, whose height of 6'11" (2.11 m) made him the tallest person to play in a Major League Game. He was secretly signed by the St. Louis Browns and put in uniform (complete with elf slippers & the number "⅛" on the back) as a publicity stunt by maverick Browns owner and showman Bill Veeck.

Seedy, BC, Keith, Tim, Hitman, Ricky, Roman.........oh, wait, that's a different list.

This thread needs 'Police Tape' over the Door!

Chicago sports figures with the best headstyles, with hair or not:

10. Kerry Wood (straight, thick and short)
9. Carlos Zambrano (it pains me to type his name, but he looks good without hair)
8. Patrick Kane (waves)
7. Denis Savard (short and professional)
6. Harold Baines (looks GREAT without hair)
5. Roman Modrowski (nicely cut, AND I'm kissing up)
4. Joe Crede (sigh. sigh. sigh.)
3. Ozzie Guillen(curly, perfectly cut, and so black that it's almost blue)
2. Carlos Quentin (straight and thick, and another sigh)
1. Mike Ditka (that widow's peak is timeless!)

Roman, note that there's something in my list for all head types.
I realize my list is quite sexist and probably will never be published...unless the S/T had a female version of Elliot....

Roman responds: C'mon, you know us. We're all for sexism! And thanks for the ranking, although that picture is kind of old.

Cowley gets an honorable mention, with his funky-wave style.

Yeah, your hair is much thinner and grayer now.

Booya!

This thread could be salvaged...if someone quickly...pulled out a list of BLOG AWARDS that we are suppose to be getting?!?!?!

BC, you and I could knock out the Romies in an afternoon. Roman has a real job, and Ricky - well I don't know why Ricky wasn't put to the task.

Here we go: I award you 2nd Best Full Court Press Blogger, and you award me the same. Done. Stuck will send you a cheddar medal. Cheddar medal, cheddar medal - I bet you can't say that 10 times in a row fast!

Did the Nike corporation pay you to make that list Roman? MJ is old; he probably couldn't make from one side of the court to the other without sticking is toungue out.

If we break them up like the oscars does, we can both be best Blogger. We can have Male and Female catagories!?

Roman: Please use this version of my post, which has been corrected for numerous, and inexcusable typos:

Here's a list I'd really like to see:

Professional athletes of all sports who have fathered the most children out of wedlock, with the largest number of different mothers.

Shawn Kemp might run away with the prize with seven illegitimate offspring, but Larry Johnson is closing in fast with five of his own, by four different women so I'm not counting him out just yet.

I haven't done any serious research yet, and Brian Urlacher still has a lot of time left on the clock, and a few wild oats left to sow.

Also: although Larry Bird is so ugly now, (not that he was ever much to look at to begin with) He wins my prize as the all time "Tool of Fatherhood" for the way he totally ignored his daughter to the point of pretending that she didn't even exist.

In glancing, I was surprised to see Oscar de la Hoya in the team photo. I always thought he swung the other way; and I'm not talking about that left hook of his.

Roman:

You've done this in the past, (at least one time for me) and I don't know how many times you've done it for others, but it's greatly appreciated:

When semi-literate morons such as myself fire off a post without taking the time to proof-read it ... and then immediately send a corrected version of the text, I personally appreciate it when you don't lay them out there, back to back; and take the time to read and understand that we weren't sending the message twice by mistake, or simply because we liked the way it read so well the first time that we wanted to read it again. (not that any my stuff reads a whole hell of a lot better the second time around)

This also keeps Ms. Spell Check off our case, which is a blessing in it's own right.

I'd much rather be critiqued / blasted for my asinine opinions, as opposed to being picked apart for misspelling and punctuation.

Thanks.

Who posted as me???? I did not make the divorced buddha belly comment. You guys could probably tell by the butchering of buddha by the fake Julie B. And whoever you are, quit it.

I guess I was too late in praising Roman. Both versions of my post hit the fan, one after the other.

In my own defense, I was out last night until 6:00 AM. My hand to eye coordination wasn't nearly up to speed, and although the engine on my keyboard was running, by brain was still in Park. (or maybe Reverse)

Oh well...

Now U Julie B., copy cats everywhere.

Worts "Take me out the Ballparks" of ALL TIME

5. Ditka ( shamefull)
4. Devin Hester(inaudible)
3.Jeff Gordon (Wrigley Stadium)
2. Tony Romo (just didnt belong and forgot the words)
1. Ozzie (this is the holy grail of TMOTTBP's) nearly untouchable!

CUBS SWEEP D'BACKS

Cubbies take them all from team with Best Record in Baseball.

I mean..I know that the socks rubber doll story still hasnt blown (no pun) over....but come on....this is newsworthy isnt it!!!??

Jason Marquis' top five daily Deep Thoughts/aphorisms:

"I know I can hit. Gosh darn it, now I just need to work on those other four tools."

"It's one... two... three strikes you're out at the ol' ball game. Yeah, I got it now."

"If I induce more groundballs, the fans may give me a new nickname, like Marquis de Sod. And darn it, I deserve it."

"I pull my socks high to give the fans something to concentrate on -- other than my pitching."

"Some day Ron Santo will say something nice about me."

MarkV
Hitman
Seedy
Keylan
Edgar

This is the new axis of evil!!!??

I think Lance Briggs is about to take the lead in the:

"I Just Can't Keep It I My Pants" contest.

He may eventually become the all time leader.

They can cast a bronze plaque of all the paternity suites filed against him, and hang it proudly at Halas Hall...

Right nect to a similar list of Jerry Angelo draft failures.

Roman, What's the deal with all the question marks in the letter I sent to Neil? Was this you being a negaholic?

I don't anyone gets your humor, were you boozin' when posting this?
