| Athletes And Guitar Riffs
Top Ten favorite Athletes of all time, and ten kick ass guitar riffs. | | 1 | Kirby Puckett
Centerfield - Minnesota Twins
My childhood idol. I could care less about the struggles he had late in life, this guy was the face of an entire fucking state for ten years. 2 World Series Championships, batting titles, world series MVP's, league MVP's, fastest righthanded hitter to 2,000 hits. Dude was a legend. RIP.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Ted Nugent - Stranglehold | | 2 | Emmitt Smith
RB - Dallas Cowboys
Wasn't the fastest or the flashiest, but was a true warrior. Anybody who wants to criticize can take a look at his records: All Time leading NFL Rusher, all time leader in Touchdowns scored, 2 MVP's, 3 time Super Bowl Champion, and suck on it.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Saxon - Wheels of Steel | | 3 | Reggie Miller
Shooting Guard - Indiana Pacers
Greatest Three Point shooter of all time, and one of the game's greatest trash talkers. Superb clutch shooter who lacked the supporting cast to go all the way.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Megadeth - Holy Wars | | 4 | Michael Jordan
Shooting Guard - Chicago Bulls
Needs no introduction as the GOAT. The reason he is on the list is I worshipped him more than Puckett until he retired the first time. I went with the Pacers after that, and couldn't bring myself to switch back to the Bulls, although I always rooted for them outside of the Pacers.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Master of Puppets | | 5 | Walter Payton
Running Back - Chicago Bears
I was 6 when he retired, but he encompasses almost every initial football memory I have. Punishing runner and a true class act. RIP
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Pantera - Regular People | | 6 | Tiger Woods
Golfer, PIMP
I've always been a huge Tiger fanboy, so I'm not going to leave him now. He will get his shit together and over-take Nicholas for Majors won, mark it down.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin | | 7 | Larry Bird
Forward - Boston Celtics
My first basketball memories were of the Showtime Lakers vs the Blue Collar Celtics. My dad was Bird fanboy #1. I pretended to like the Lakers just to piss him off, but I could recognize even at a young age that Bird was the epitome of what a basketball player should be.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Judas Priest - Dissident Aggressor | | 8 | Joe Mauer
Catcher - Minnesota Twins
This is purely a homer pick, as I'm a huge Twins fan, but Mauer has taken Puckett's place as the face of the state. One of the best hitters and defenders in the game, and a true good guy. Took a discount to stay home. Lock for the Hall of Fame barring a career ending injury.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Eric Clapton - Layla | | 9 | Troy Aikman
Quarterback - Dallas Cowboys
Fuck the haters. 3 time Super Bowl Champ, and one of the most accurate passers in history. The reason there was a hole in Texas Stadium was so God could watch his team, and Troy Aikman, play football.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath | | 10 | Kevin Garnett
Forward - Timberwolves/Celtics
Nobody was happier for KG than me after he won the title in Boston. After watching him labor on atrocious T-Wolves teams for a decade, always giving an unmatched level of intensity, he deserved it.
Kick Ass Guitar Riff: Van Halen - Aint Talkin Bout Love | |

05.11.10 | Had to include some musical part as I wanted an excuse to talk Sports. | 8bit
05.11.10 | hockey? ;-[ | Slipping Away
05.11.10 | Reggie Miller FTW!! | BigHans
05.11.10 | Nothing against Hockey, but never got into it. I am roughly one of ten people in the state of Minnesota that falls under this distinction. | MUNGOLOID
05.11.10 | quit haitin' on payton. | BigHans
05.11.10 | Anybody who hates on Payton is either an idiot or a Vikings fan. They usually go hand in hand. | Inveigh
05.11.10 | sweet list, although I hate Kevin Garnett with a passion. I liked him until I actually started watching the way he acts during games -- such a punk ass. He's the epitome of a bitch to me, and here's why: notice how he's the biggest trash-talker ever until someone remotely of his size and/or stature is near him? For instance, last season he blocked Jarryd Bayless' shot (Bayless was a rookie who's barely six feet tall, mind you) and then got down on all fours and started barking like a dog at the rookie. Pick on someone your own size, goon. He also acted real mean last year during the Bulls-Celts playoff series -- pretty easy to do when you're on the bench in street clothes.

05.11.10 | dude, Mariano Rivera-Enter Sandman | Inveigh
05.11.10 | Chipper Jones - Crazy Train | Slipping Away
05.11.10 | completely agree with inveigh bout garnett, what pisses me off most is how all the anouncers kiss his ass all the time and give him a free pass just because he's being "competitive" | Inveigh
05.11.10 | I know man, there's a difference between being competitive and just being a punk-ass. | TheThinIce
05.11.10 | Inveigh knows what's up. I don't think Tiger is going to beat Jack's 18 majors. I have him winning 2-3 more. | BigHans
05.11.10 | Yeah I can see the hate for KG, but being a Minnesotan I think I can appreciate him more. I mean, aside from the 2003 team, the Twolves org is a fucking joke. Mchale completely ruined any chances of them achieving anything, and KG busted his ASS every night. | BigHans
05.11.10 | HONORABLE MENTION:
BO JACKSON | BallsToTheWall
05.11.10 | Needs moar Lawrence Taylor. I dig Miller, Smith, mAUER AND aIKMAN.
Garnett is a bitch. | Inveigh
05.11.10 | I didn't start truly hating KG until he became a Celtic and I had to watch his antics every time there was a game on ESPN or ABC. McHale was a joke of a GM, but the guy's a decent coach. Way better than that idiot Rambis (what the hell is Love, their best player, coming off the bench for?!)
and yeah, Bo Jackson rules. As does Description Sanders. | BigTuna
05.11.10 | Garnett is a fool | Dryden
05.11.10 | a real fool | BigHans
05.11.10 | White Bear Lake is a nice place, have family that lives there. Yeah Kirby man, he was IT in Minnesota. As in, he was absolutely worshipped. | BigHans
05.11.10 | LT huh Balls? Well, the guy was a fucking BEAST, I'll grant that. | Counterfeit
05.11.10 | Kirby Puckett was God.
And Torii Hunter was Jesus.
KG was Moses.
Btw, Peyton?! That's like, horrible. You call your self a Minnesotan. :P | BigHans
05.11.10 | Not a Vikings fan Counterfeit. Worship the Twins however, so I can stay in the state, hopefully.
That said, I do hope they get a stadium. | Counterfeit
05.11.10 | D:
As cheesy and dumb as it sounds, I do infact bleed purple and gold. Yeah I really hope they do. I would've rather had a new Vikes stadium than the Twins. But that's just me. | BigHans
05.11.10 | Yeah, they definitely should have gotten one over the Gophers, a joke of a college football program. | Counterfeit
05.11.10 | Oh for sure. It was so dumb that a college team got a stadium and the Vikes didn't. | Tulannical
05.12.10 | I agree with Inveigh, KG is a tool. | Yazz_Flute
05.12.10 | dude the correct term is "couldN'T care less." Think about it. I hate that.
good list though, can tell you're a Twins fan. | iBosley
05.12.10 | minnesotans up in this bitch |
