TFoA · January 12, 2007

-Best college basketball team of all-time(year)?

Don't know the year, but it was around the 70s when UCLA was owning the NCAA.

-Best college basketball coach of all-time?

John Wooden.

-Best NFL team of all-time(year)?

Tough one. Very tough one. Gotta go with the 85 Bears. CLOSE second are the 72 Dolphins.

-Best QB of all-time?

John Elway. In the words of Jay-Z, "Never been a :censored: this good for this long."

-Best RB of all-time?

Jim Brown. Duh.

-Best dynasty in sports history(team,years)?

Chicago Bulls from 91-98. The only reason why they didn't win 2 more is because Jordan "retired."

-Best Super Bowl ever?

Super Bowl XXXIV. Rams vs Titans. 1 MORE YARDDDDDDDD.

-Best Stanley Cup ever?

The only one that I really got into was the Flames-Lightning Cup the year before the lockout.

-Best World Series ever?

1991 World Series. R.I.P. Kirby Puckettm even though WE SHOULDA WONNNNEDDDD.

-Best NBA Finals ever?

1998 NBA Finals. Jordan's last, and I think the fact that I think this was the one where he basically pwned the Jazz in Game 5 with the Flu. That was unreal.

-Best goaltender in NHL history?

Martin Brodeur.

-Best player in NBA history?

MJ.

-Best player in baseball history?

Willie Mays.

-Best clutch player in any sport ever?

Robert Horry. I swear, did he ever miss a GW shot in the playoffs???

-Best boxer ever?

Muhammad Ali. You gotta be smokin something to disagree.

-Best golfer ever?

Tiger Woods. He's gonna break the records and smash them.

-Biggest let-down (player)in sports history?

Maurice Clarrett. He had so much potential after his true freshman year at the Ohio State University. Too bad he had to let it go to waste.

-Biggest upset in sports history?

Chaminade beats Virginia in 82 in basketball.

-Most hated player in sports history?

Gotta be Barry Bonds. So many people hatin on him it's crazy. Not that it isn't warranted though...

-Most beloved player in sports history?

Willie Mays. I haven't heard of anybody who could say they hated the dude.

-Best NHL coach ever?

Dunno.

-Best MLB *manager* ever?

Tie between Joe Torre and *homer alert* Bobby Cox. I've got nothin but respect for Torre, and you have got to be doing something really right when you win 14 straight divisional titles, and most of those with undermanned teams.

-Best NBA coach ever?

The cigar man, Red Auerbach.

-Worst team in sports history?

Arizona/Phoenix/St. Louis Cardinals. They haven't won much of anything since ever, and even with the new stadium, it still seems like they could not avoid a loss if it was coming at them at 1 mph and they had all the time to dodge it.

-Best commisioner in sports history?

Pete Rozell. Basically laid the foundations for the NFL as we know it.

-Best NHL team ever?

Montreal Canadiens. Can't argue with 24 Stanley Cups.

-Best NFL team ever?

Pittsburgh Steelers. 5 Super Bowls, and they've got legitamate fans (no bandwagoners) all over the place.

-Best MLB team ever?

New York Yankees. Bah humbug.

-Best NBA team ever?

Boston Celtics. Once again, can't argue with 16 NBA titles.

-Best rivalry in sports?

Georgia-Georgia Tech. I remember one time last semester we got the results from our End-Of-Course Standardized Test for Economics.One kid got a 95 on it, and one of my other classmates got a 90. So he started bitching about it, and my teacher asked "Well who do you root for?" and the kid said "Georgia Tech." The teacher then asked the kid who got a 95 who he roots for and he said "UGA." And the teacher said "See? Even in Economics, the University of Georgia is still better than the Institute in Atlanta. Now be quiet and teach your QB how to count to four." And with that I started rolling. So yeah, if a rivalry is so bad that it causes teachers to rip on students who go for the other school, then yeah, it's gotta be bad.
