Too poor. I'm going to a bowling alley to see metal bands.

Hopefully I make it back to Houston in August for Robert Earl Keen, and then Ziegfest in October.

no kidding

I watched 5 minutes of it

talk about self promotion
look its gonna be Tiger-Kobe-LaBron-Vince as the winner
helps ESPN sell

yeah like Kelly Slater or Matt Leinart is NOW

MeShawn-Herb on the panel makes it bogus
both clueless
get real

Wilbon is good and knowledgable
but thats the first round

wonder who the other judges will be

athlete and self promotion at its best
its all about keeping your name out there

too bad Rodman aint still playing

I would pick LT-Duncan-A Rod

small market sports have no chance here
Its basketball and football
even the baseball players have no chance
(not enough jersey selling power)

they will probably pick Parker over Federer

where is Dirk?

whats funny is the off field buzzzzzzz
where is Vick-Tank-PacMan-Jerry Buss lol

Ill go with acording to the bracket

Tiger (with LT in the same bracket? thats wrong, LT should be a semi-finalist))
Kobe
LaBron
Vince

then
Tiger vs LaBron in the final

LaBron wins

gotta keep the jersey sales up



Throughout July, "SportsCenter" will air "Who's Now," a daily series in which viewers will help ESPN determine the ultimate sports star by considering both on-field success and off-field buzz.
