Athlete of the Week Archive
| Athlete | Author | Comment |
| Ouija Board | Barry Roos | 2 time BC winner and one of the best mares this writer has ever seen. She made the BC Filly & Mare Turf seem like a walk in the park. | Cardinals | TJ Porter | Congrats to the Cards. You won the most boring WS in recent memory. But you won and I take my hat off to you. | Anthony Reyes | Wally Walker | Shut down the rusty Tigers in one of the most impressive rookie efforts in WS play. | Laurence Maroney | Barry Roos | 125 Yards, 2 TD's. Need I say more? | Byron Nelson | Tiger Nicholas | 11 straight tournament victories in 1945 is something so hard to fathom. The guy was a legend. Rest in peace Lord Byron. | Andre Agassi | Barry Roos | Congrats on a brilliant 20 year career. Agassi is the last of a dying breed...tennis players with personality. The sport has very little interest, and Andre was one of the last with an ounce of entertainment value. | David Wells | Barry Roos | Last 2 have been great, provided a boost when they needed it most. Often controversial, never dull, and a knack for clutch performances. | David Ortiz | Barry Roos | Well my friend Pete Caplan was quicker than me on this one. (I prefer to take my time as it increases pleasure and overall satisfaction, if you know what I mean). But I second his emotion on Ortiz. The guy hits walkoffs like no one ever has in this grand old game. | Radoslaw Sobolewski | Barry Roos | He leads the World Cup in Discipline. This guy is to Team Poland what Bacon is to a BLT. One question? What the heck is discipline? Is he well behaved on the bus? Does he mind his manners? | Manny Ramirez | Barry Roos | He goes through short periods of being thoroughly average. Then he kills a couple and you remember the guy is one of the great hitters of this or any time. Manny being Manny beats most players. Chabot being Chabot, that's a story for another day. |
