Athlete of the Week Archive
| Athlete | Author | Comment |
| Manny Ramirez | Barry Roos | See "On the Roos". | Gerald Green | Barry Roos | Always look on the bright side of life... The glory days of the Celtics are a distant memory. So Gerald Green's victory in the slam dunk is one of the few bright spots in a while. So this week you get the UWS Athlete of the Week. | Andy Reid | Barry Roos | Reminds us that family needs to come first, always. Being a coach takes up all your time and family life can suffer. Taking a leave, shows me that this guy gets it. My guess is very few NFL coaches would do the same. | Roger Federer | Barry Roos | Hard to believe this guy gets little props for being perhaps the best ever. Classy doesn't play well these days I guess. | Da Bears | Mike Ditka | I told youse guys, that da bears would winn. No wun believed mee. And I smart. I traded a hole team fa ricky williumns. And what udder coch could hav wun with the bears team in '85. Ok, you gut me, even marty win wit that team. | Bill Belechick | Barry Roos | 13-2 in playoff games. And he wins the ones he isn't suppose to. Well at least the so called experts all picked against him yesterday. | Tom Brady | Barry Roos | Just keeps rolling along, steady as he goes, and unlike the guy in Indy, NO INTS. Winning is everything to this guy, and he devotes himself to it while others spend time making cute commercials. Impressive, damn impressive | Steve Nash | Barry Roos | Guy seems to improve every year. It is something to see in this age of spoiled athletes not pulling their own weight. The NBA is a crap league at this point but guys like Nash give you someone to root for. | Russell Baze | Barry Roos | Number one jockey of all time by number of wins. And did it the hard way, riding mainly claimers on less than glamorous circuits. 'nuff said. | Tom Brady | Stevie B. Grogan IV | Great effort, looked like the Hall of Fame bound Tom Brady we expect to watch play. |
