Default Re: Whose Career would you rather have?

I voted Horry, Bradshaw, Jeter. I don't think it's close.

Bonds is the closest, because baseball is the sport where an individual legacy can be separated from team success most easily, and his individual accomplishments are so memorable/highly valued. Marino's lack of a super bowl hurts his legacy as a QB more than Bonds' lack of a ring.

yes, but this stuff doesn't really matter if you are hated.

if Bonds were say, Ken Griffey Jr, who appears to be a likeable guys w/o steroid questions, then this would be a lot closer, and maybe Griffey would win.

Horry, Bradshaw, Jeter

Just win baby

of course, I don't like Marino's and Bond's general personalities, so I'd hate to be them.
Ewing is just too ugly.

Horry -- more titles, people will think of me as one of the greatest clutch players ever, and every chick (not just the ones in the Gold Club) want to bang me.

Bradshaw -- Just win baby

Jeter -- I wouldn't like it if everyone hated me...my skin's not thick enough. If everyone in just Boston hated me...I'd be okay with that.

Horry, Marino, Jeter for me. Horry just seems to have a cushy job, all positive press, no negative. Same with Jeter.

However, Super Bowl or no Super Bowl, it would be really be cool to just bomb it all day like Marino did, rather than hit a flimsy 50% like Bradshaw.
