Icons Survey
-
With the death of James Gandolfini who played Tony Soprano, I heard a discussion about his character being one of the top Icon character's in TV history. So, it got me thinking about doing one of my regular surveys on Icons in history...and tieing that into sports. So, here is your survey:
1. Who are your Top 5 Icons in Pro Football history?
2. Who are your Top 5 Icons in Major League baseball history?
3. Who are your Top 5 Icons in NBA history?
4. Who are your Top 5 Icons in all other sports history?
5. Who are your Top 5 Male Television character Icons? (and is Tony Soprano one of them?)
6. Who are your Top 5 Female Television character Icons?
7. Who are your Top 5 Male Movie character Icons?
8. Who are your Top 5 Female Movie character Icons?
(I usually only do 5 questions, but I thought I would do a few more to get all this in)
-
I'll start with football, and I don't consider current players iconic.
Jim Brown
Vince Lombardi
Red Grange
Joe Namath
Paul Brown
Baseball
Babe Ruth
Ty Cobb
Ted Williams
Walter Johnson
Jackie Robinson.
I'm sure if I thought about it longer, both of these categories would change.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain- -
Anna Kournikova? She was a terrible tennis player. Maria Sharapova is better at tennis and better looking.
