Ah, the power of lists! There’s something incredibly satisfying about whittling the chaos of the world down into a neat, tidy, digestible form, isn’t there? Especially lists that no one asks for, but everyone secretly enjoys. They’re like surprise guests at a party, or when a restaurant has flan on the menu. These aren’t your ordinary, grocery-store-type lists, oh no. These are the cornerstone of my illustrious list-making career–unsolicited, nonessential, yet strangely compelling.
So now, without further ado, let me introduce my latest masterpiece: an utterly unrequested, minimally essential list of my all-time favorite athletes. This roster may not get me into the Hall of Fame, but in the grand sport of list-making, I’m pretty sure it earns me a gold medal!
My hall of fame:
- Landon Donovan
- Dirk Nowitzki
- Demarcus Beasley
- Magic Johnson
- Andre Dawson
A few honorable mentions, but really… this list could go on and on:
- Cobi Jones
- Clint Dempsey
- Tim Howard
- Steve Cherundolo
- Frankie Hedjuk
- Tim Cahill
- David Beckham
- Ronaldinho
- Tony Romo
- Michael Irvin
