News Aliens Vaporize Earth After BCS Proves Humans are an Inferior Race
“Your idiocy brought this upon you,” read a transmission that appeared on the wall in the White House’s Oval Office. “A playoff would have saved you. But now we must rid the universe of a race so stupid that it no doubt would have eventually threatened the existence of us all.”
While the alien strikes destroyed New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Beijing, Moscow, Cairo, Mumbai and Sao Paulo, the first laser beams were trained at cities throughout the American South, instantly killing millions of residents who had poured into streets, parks and public places to chant “S-E-C! S-E-C! S-E-C!”
Opinion The 25 Scrappiest Athletes of All-Time
SportsPickle readers voted to elect the scrappiest athlete of all-time. After more than 60,000 votes from dozens of contenders, here are the athletes you determined to be the most scrappy.
25. Theo Fleury
Fleury scored 1,000 points in the NHL, won a Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal and did it all at 5-foot-6. He even gutted through a season with Crohn’s Disease. His last name means “flower” in French, but tell him that and he’ll probably punch you in the ribs or even higher up your body if he can reach.
24. Martin St. Louis
St. Louis has scored 80 or more points in a season six times during his career despite being only 5-foot-8. The Lightning captain is also the highest-ranked hockey player in the voting. Of course, if the NHL itself had been a voting option for scrappiest, it would have won in a landslide.
23. J.J. Barea
At 6-feet, 175 pounds, Jose Juan Barea exploded onto our scrappy radar with his scraptastic contributions to the Dallas Mavericks’ championship run. Just 27 years of age, expect Barea’s scrappy stock to continue to rise as the sports world’s scrappiest — or “mas animoso” — Spanish-speaking basketball player.
22. Moredecai “Three Finger” Brown
All the evidence you need is in the name. If your nickname describes your body post-amputation or farm machine accident, you’re pretty scrappy. The 239 wins, 2.06 career ERA and Hall of Fame spot are almost overkill.
21. Troy Brown
He was a possession receiver who agreed to play defensive back to help the team. He regularly got cut or was forced to take a pay reduction. He was only 5-foot-10. He didn’t come from a college football power. And he played in Boston. Put all that together, and you have the makings of the scrappiest athlete of all-time! Who knows what it is about him that kept voters from placing him higher on the list. A true mystery. Hmm. Hmmmmm.

Les Miles is as entertaining as Nick Saban is loathsome.

I think we can all agree that the 2003 and 2007 LSU teams were huge crap heaps.
