That was pure gold, Letterman. However, if I had #10 give an inspirational speech with that theme, I'd probably end up creeping out the whole squad.

You don't think Mary-Kate Olson would make an imposing defensive end?

Maurice Clarett is a baby, and Ron Artest is a jerk. The difference is, I'd want Artest if I owned a basketball team. If I'm a football owner, Clarett doesn't even get a free-agent tryout on my team. He's not the player Artest is.

Terrific list! Thanks for the laughs.
