Yellow Jersey, but mostly because I'm an avid cyclist.

If given one choice, I would have to say the Stanley Cup. One of my greatest memories is sitting in the living room with my father when he watched Lanny McDonald hoist the trophy in his last NHL game in 1989.

The green jacket.

Ditto.

That took too long.


The Stanley Cup is thisclose if you are the first person to raise it for your team. A lot of average players have raised it, but the greats raise it first.
 
Another vote for green jacket. It would mean I finally didn't suck at golf.

That's bull****.

The captain of the winning team hoists it first because he's the captain. After that, it's usually pretty much arbitrary. And hoisting it would be just as sweet whether you're the first guy, second guy or 20th guy.

Discussion-ender: any trophy that Hayden Panettiere is willing to publicly lick, snuggle, straddle and kiss is the one I want to win. ;)

Double J, I would rather be the greatest golfer in the world for one week than the third line right wing of a Stanley Cup champion.

Plus, I would be invited back to Augusta every year for the rest of my life.
 
And you're always a Stanley Cup champion, too. It can't ever be taken away from you.
 
This one would be nice too.....the Mann Cup, awarded every year to the Canadian Senior A lacrosse champions. It's made of solid gold.

In the Shanahan family of Mimico, Ontario (hi JR and HC!!), they think it's awesome that Brendan Shanahan has won three Stanley Cups and an Olympic gold medal, among other accomplishments. I can assure you it's an equal source of pride to them that Brian Shanahan, one of his older brothers, won five Mann Cups.

That's not Brian in the picture, by the way - it's just the best colour picture I could find of the trophy.
