Most Memorable Game Attended

2007 Arena Cup in Shreveport, LA. With one final play, AF2 Offensive Player of the Year, QB Ryan Vena of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers lofted a perfect pass to Buchie Ibeh. Ibeh dropped the pass, the Tulsa Talons won the Arena Cup.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Consecutive games played by Cal Ripken, Jr.

Ruth or Mays?

Willie Mays baby--represent the Alabama boy.

Unitas or Montana?

Unitas was more flamboyant, but Montana won--all the time.

Pele or Maradona?

Pele was awesome!

Jordan or Gretzky?

How can you really choose between these two legends? I mean, Jordan and the story about him not making the 9th grade team and stuff. But Gretzky wore 99 in honor of Howe but actually turned out to be twice as good.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    Hey Chris,

    I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

    Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Chris!

    Hey Chris-

    Not sure exactly what you are talking about, but confusion is bound to occur when half-finished articles are submitted to the editorial process. I am unable to check on who changed your article's headline, but my only edits were to insert an image and add the words "Ed. note" next to a comment a prior editor had left in your article about it being half-way done. Apologies for the confusion, but I assure you that BR editors are very committed to retaining the voice and intent of the author in each article to the fullest extent possible. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

    Best,
    Mike

    In fact I do. First of all, the Dawg Pound is a bunch of drunken, drugged out, lazy, fat, sorry excuses for football fans and are the very reason I choose not to attend Browns games. As for last night, there was one guy who needed to show up in order for OSU to win 'on the road' and that was Boeckman, which he did not. Don't be so quick to judge the Big Ten before you do any futher investigating. Are you aware that LSU oversigned about 18 players to scholarship last year as apposed to 3 for OSU? That's a little shady. I'll tip my hat when the SEC decides to come clean on the issue, let alone playing for a title an hour from home, what a joke. That's like OSU playing in the Shoe for all the marbles!! And remember to thank the great state of OHIO for all of your coaches, since they are all over the conference teaching you southern yellowbellies how to play football!! At least we'll be back next year, we'll see where all of you end up. By the way, nice christmas gift from Wisconsin, what was it 4 turnovers? And you still could only escape with a win in the final minutes?? Whatever, SEC (Shady, Egocentric Conference). GO BIG TEN!! Fidelus et Verus..(Faithful and True)
