Football: 80's - Drew Pearson; 90's - Barry 00's - Nobody

Basketball: 80's - Dennis Rodman (Pistons version;) Basketball has sucked since 1992 so no others...

Football: none, I don't watch it

If you turned on a TV all summer, you would know the Lakers won it... The media was on that like white on rice.

Hockey - Yzerman and Hasek

Baseball - Cal Ripken Jr.

I miss the 90's such great talent in sports and great role models too.

I watch plenty of TV. However none of the TV I watch would be discussing that. I don't watch ESPN or any of its subsidiary networks anymore, so unless MLB Network was suddenly going to talk about the Lakers, I'd have no way of knowing what they did or did not do. I follow baseball and hockey, that's it. Unless what I'm watching sports-wise talks about either of those sports, I'm not interested.

Cicarelli, then McCarty, now Holmstrom and Datsyuk.

I had an insane crush on Jeff Chadwick. In fact, I had hamsters named Jeff and Barry, but Barry turned out to be a girl, so she was re-named Berry and placed in a separate cage.

Never followed baseball or basketball.

[IceMunkee]

I have always been into the tough guys. Probie, Kocur, Shanny (sort-of), and Mac.

Ofcourse I love the Y but thats what it has been for me. With so many years w/o a tough guy I fell in love with the two way skill of Pasha. Then he whopped Roberts ass in '08 and that was all I needed.

My tough guy Dats!

[lnvincible]

Yzerman , Fedorov.

Unbelieveable that they should have both been better. Given the effort.
