It’s time for the 3rd annual Spike’s Guys [sic] Choice Awards and among that plentiful topics readers/watchers are being asked to decide on (including Hottest Twins, Deadliest Warrior, Hottest “Mila,” Sickest Rhymes, Hottest Girl on the Planet, etc.) is Most Unstoppable Jock. The choices: LeBron James or Ben Roethlisberger.
Is this even a freaking contest? I wrote a whole diatribe on why this is absolutely ludicrous, but it went on for like 1000 words and no one needs 1000 words to be convinced that LeBron is about 17 classes above Ben when it comes to athletic prowess. Simply put: LeBron — a candidate to quite possibly be the best basketball player ever; Ben Roethlisberger — a very good quarterback, but that’s about it.
Vote now people. Don’t let Pittsburgh stuff the ballot box on this one.

Are they also going to have a category for Most Fearsome Hitter: Albert Pujols vs. David Ortiz? Whoever thought of pairing LBJ with Toothlessburger must have been having a bad day…
I asked my grandfather if he ever remembers Cleveland winning a national sports title. He couldn’t remember any. I know Pittsburgh won 2 in the last few months. Anyone remember when Cleveland last won one? As a follow-up, how many titles has Pittsburgh won since Cleveland’s last victory?
This comparison is simply ludicrous!!……..I can see LeBron now leaning back in his recliner chuckling at this absurd poll!!.
