    Hayden Panettiere is easy enough on the eyes, but putting one's non-NHL-champion tongue on the Stanley Cup seems kinda distasteful (probably literally; that's a century of perspiration and God-knows-what).

    And Chuck Nevitt is a how-many-times? NBA champion.

    Can't "take it away" from him. But doesn't mean he did squat to earn it . . . or has any legitimate reason to feel proud about it.

    Same goes for the NHL equivalent of Nevitt . . . whoever he is.

    Individual sport trophy > team sport trophy.

    I don't follow the NBA nearly well enough to have had a clue who Chuck Nevitt is without looking him up.

    But I do know this - if he hadn't deserved to be a member of a championship roster, he wouldn't have been part of the team. Take it up with Pat Riley if you disagree.

    Not sure how the Heisman's only been mentioned twice.

    Stanley Cup. To have your name there forever is simply special.

    Maybe because it is a jinx on a successful NFL career.

    Nothing involving football for me, ever. I'd like to be able to walk normally when I'm 35.

    Heisman's great but you're VOTED the winner. Not quite the same as winning a game/series/tournament.

    It's interesting that the Stanley Cup has significance to those who don't even follow hockey. It it's not the greatest trophy in sport, it's certainly the most iconic --well, at least in North America.
