    Anybody that didnt vote for Cal Ripken Jr. for the Hall Of Fame should have his credentials removed. If the same person didnt vote for Tony Gwynn he is obviously trying to shine a light on himself. I say turn the light off this ridiculous writer!!

    Hey,

    It's a tiny bit late as it took longer than expected to write it, but my review of 2009 is finally here! Last year's one won the AOTD award and hopefully I've done enough on this one to equal that feat, but I'll leave you to be the judge of that!

    With 25 great moments from 12 different sports, and with everyone from Barcelona to France, the Yankees to the Lakers, and Usain Bolt to Tiger Woods there is something for everyone in this slideshow, plus a ranked top ten as the final slide!

    If you get a chance would you mind checking it out? Cheers!

    While you might have a few good points but to come out pointing fingers at just about everybody is foolish. Some things need to be dealt with and I think they will by next year. It's always easy to to point fingers when your sittin behind a desk, but if you have all the answers, apply for the coaching job. The government points enough fingers at each other. This country don't need no more.
