There are a ton of ridiculous polls on ESPN daily, but this one might actually take the cake. ESPN The Mag, has something called the "All-World Power Rankings", in which they rank random things like "The Best Green Jersey In Sports" and "Least Loyal Sports Figure Ever". Well today they decided to rank the "Most Intriguing Athlete Turned Musician", and somehow, Deion Sanders came out on top....


I'm not exactly sure how the voting works, but either way you look at it, there are thousands of holes in this. If it's a joke, they missed Kobe Bryant, Oscar de la Hoya and Tony Parker. And if it's real, they forgot Bernie Williams, Bronson Arroyo, Wayman Tisadle and of course the legendary....Peter Gammons. Either way though, Deion Sanders should not be on the top of any list with songs like this....

Who is the most intriguing athlete-turned-musician? (ESPN The Mag)

I love when ESPN post stories early, and automatically has teams winning or accidentally puts one into the next round, but this even better than that. Tell me if you can find the typo in this latest poll....


Ah yes. My favorite part of the poll though, is that the ESPN readers only have it at 65%! Too funny.

(Thanks to DI for the tip)

Yesterday, it was a NASCAR commercial with drivers talking about accidents immediately after reporting on Nick Adenhart's passing, and today it's this. Via NQTC....


I'm not even going to comment on that one.

Pick "A" For Awful Taste (Not Qualified To Comment)

There are about three teams involved in the Terrell Owens sweepstakes and they are the Titans, the Raiders and most surprisingly, the Patriots. Now newspapers will usually put up polls and forums that ask the fans their opinion on free agents, but it's rare that the team does so on its own website. Until now....

If T.O. wanted to play for the Patriots, should New England sign him?

Andy Hart says, "Yes!"

Assuming T.O. doesn’t have a lot of options, which I think is a safe assumption at this point, I hope he comes crawling to Bill Belichick and the Patriots in a last-ditch effort to resurrect his reputation and championship dreams. Let me be clear, if he has options and expects the Patriots to in any way bid for his services then I have no interest.

Erik Scalavino says, "No!"

Yeah, sure, go ahead. Sign T.O. … if what you want is the utter destruction of locker room chemistry and team unity. If on-field discord is what you want to pay to see at Gillette Stadium this fall, then T.O. is the guy for you!

Humble pie? Not for him, thanks. He prefers popcorn.

Nice use of the popcorn reference there, but I'm with the first guy. Sure Owens will more than likely wreck havoc on the Patriots' locker room, but just imagine the AFC's defenses going up against Moss, Owens and Welker. That's like the Cardinals on steroids! As far as New Englanders go, here are the current poll results....
