I was hoping to do it about 2 weeks ago, but work keeps getting in the way, and I'm not on here very much on weekends like I used to be. I'll try to get them posted very soon.

Also, you should all play Fantasy College Hockey. The linky is in my sig.

Re: The Greatest Athlete of All-time

Are we down to the Final Four yet?

Looks like Jim Brown vs Mohammed Ali and Jim Thorpe vs Babe Ruth, no?

If that's the case, can we just declare Jim the winner now?
