The award for the most ridiculous, self-absorbed, overzealous all sports entertainment network in the world goes to... ESPN, for the 10th year running. They have once again proven that outside the 4 major sports, Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters, you're really not much of an athlete. Unless you count token consideration of Cael Sanderson and -ahem- Sarah Hughes (don't even get me started on figure skating). No offense to college athlete of the year Sue Bird (UConn BB) but a certain swimmer from Cal who set at least 6 AR and 1 WR over the short course season would have had my vote. Anyone else? Natalie Coughlin, female college athlete of the year as awarded by the USMS discussion crew? -RM

  • Originally posted by aquageek I would challenge you to name one single baseball position player that is out of shape. I've seen a pitcher or two that could shed some pounds but never a position player. Since you asked: I saw the Mets-Giants game Wednesday night at Pac Bell Park. For a player out of shape, how about Mo Vaughn of the Mets - Listed as 6' 1" 275 pounds. (I would guess he weighed more). Good home run hitter, but I dont think he has two many doubles. michael
