What you think?
Vince Young Super Bowl champion.
Sorry forgot Vince. He is now the focus pt. of his team and his Mom and coach have both admitted he is having some probs
Depends on what you mean by "best", GH...I think that it's a sad story...now if you were to have posted most "significant" story of 2008, off the top of my head, I'd nominate the Tom Brady injury.Quote:

1) 2009 is next year

3)It would be the first year without the Yankees in the playoffs since 1993-15 years
4) I vote for the Rays
Rays
Rays.
They're also directly involved with the Yankees not making it to the postseason.
I think Cliff Lee should be in this poll. But my vote is for CC Sabathia.
I have no idea what will happen in 2009. As for 2008, I think the Devil Rays breaking the Yankees/Sox stranglehold is the most important.
The Bucks are the Pirates. Bucks is short for bucaneersQuote:

Or the Olympic Men's Basketball Team?
I'd vote Phelps.
But I went with Favre here. That's arguably the best QB ever (me, I've got him behind a few guys, including Montana and Young, but he's the career leader in everything, and it's easy to argue he's the greatest) and an absolute legend, switching teams... after spending an entire career practically owning one of the NFL's most "storied" franchises. It's the biggest story, even though many people are already sick to death of it.
CC switching sports and going to basketball would be the biggest story of the year, but it didn't happen.
It *is* "Bucs," not "Bucks," if you're talking about the Pirates, but I believe Grasshopper was tired and/or drunk and confused the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks.
This poll reeks of fail

And Sabathia never went to the Pirates :pQuote:

Since the other poll seemed to have failed miserably, I will create a new one. Yeah.
a poll without the poll, eh?

The other poll is fine...
Once again, no Michael Phelps!??
Possibly the best performance by an athlete in any sport, ever, and he gets overlooked twice?
Shame...
oh man... i created three extra spots for men's basketball, women's basketball, and michael phelps
and instead i fill em with the bcs bowl, clemens and teixeira
i feel like an idiot
ahha
What's wrong with the other poll?
I'm going to close one of them, as they're both basically the same.
Yeah, I was definitely say Michael Phelps is the story of 2008!
LOL Roger Clemens was like 2 years ago. I forgot all about it.
I'm merging these threads, using this poll.
guess CC was traded to Milwaukee's Basketball team ( and honestly with the way that franchise is run, its a possibility they'd make a play for him)Quote:

Make a new poll, JapIrish:D - you left out the rise of hardcore fighting, and the fact that the heavyweight boxing champion of the world is white...Quote:

Favre returning to another team doesn't surprise me. Celtics winning the title and LSU clobbering OSU doesn't surprise me at all either.
Longest michaelg post ever? :pQuote:

Lance Armstrong broke the glow of 'doing something after cancer'
I change my vote to that. I saw Lester pitch today when I went to the game, and I saw him in his 2nd to last game before cancer. This guy is truly awesomeQuote:

Baseball, everyone remembers the first time the Marlins/ DBacks/ Rockies first world series as expasion teams. The Rays are the only ones left.
Yankees not making the playoffs!
I have a great idea for a new story in 2008: make football an Olympic sport!
Wouldn't that be a great idea? Even Peyton Manning is behind this idea and so am I.
