Copied your post to this thread:

Brady STILL manages to make these lists. Unbelievable. Oh well.

Here's to hoping Troy can rake in some more hardware. Might be a nice fresh breath of air for him considering the scrutiny he's gone through lately.

Phelps got that insane DUI right after the Olympics. NIIIIICE.

I'm a homer. Voting for Troy. Dominated every single game in every way imaginable minus one. Good enough for me.
