All Time Sports Moment

3rd and 5 with 1:15 left in Super Bowl XLII. 'Nuff said.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Brett Favre's 230812893462394 consecutive games starting streak
Ruth or Mays?

The Sultan of Swat

Federer or Sampras?

Federer. No one rocks the headbands like he does.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger. Dude played with a torn knee or whatever.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Racing isn't a sport. It's just Mario Kart, but potentially with real violent consequences.
Schumacher or Senna?

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

Big 12. It the biggest number.

Great article. Good to see Tyree got the top spot.

Hah, I remember Aaron Boone and David Tyree. That was an amazing catch, especially on Rodney Harrison, which you noted.

POTD, great job man

Wetteland was a top closer for years, a reason the Yankees bought his services his achieving was no surprise at all, it was expected

Brad Lidge blew his seventh save of the season today. Seven more than he blew all of last year.

It's time. Time for Lidge to lose his job as the team's closer..

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

This is its baseball counterpart, The Half of a Year Too Early MLB All-Decade Team, and my 100th article here on Bleacher Report.

Adrian Peterson is arguably the best running back in the NFL. Even as an Eagles fan, I love to watch him play.

But the Vikings better be sure not to overwork him in the upcoming years...

There's still another year of football left to be played this decade.

But it's never too early for a list. Here is my NFL All-Decade team, position by position. Let me know what you think...

Winning the Triple Crown - leading the league in home runs, RBI, and batting average - is arguably the most difficult accomplishment for a hitter. So difficult, in fact, that it hasn't been done since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski did it in 1967.

Will any hitter ever win the Triple Crown again?
