tim lincecum vs. aaron rodgers

or maybe let's say these were your kids and this was a sophie's choice thing

did someone say Aaron Rodgers? :D

Lincecum is super cute, no doubt... but Arodg is operating on a higher plane of cuteness.

that is my criteria

what is this? the cute guys who crushed philly teams in the post-season last year poll?

it's Sunday, there's no sport on tv unless you like basketball, so just shaddup and vote :)

Aaron Rodgers plays football, and that makes him a winner.

Lincecum should go work at a head shop.

xp I enjoyed a Phillies spring training game this afternoon!

waiting for roxy to arrive here

i am negating her vote. real men don't wear snuggies.

I don't know who Aaron Rodgers is. But I'll vote for Tim Lincecum over just about anybody.

Have you heard of google, clemenza?

I have--that's a social network, right? (I don't want to not-vote for Lincecum; I don't want to face that possibility.)

i guess it never occurred to me that there are ppl havent heard of The People's Champion.

Did you know some people don't care about the NFL? Perish the thought, but it's true.

I choose to not interact with these people.

I'm scared, Johnny

I gave in to peer pressure and used this Goggle thing to learn about Aaron Rodgers. I am a little embarrassed not to have known who he is. (I know who Brett Favre and Tom Brady are.) I don't like his hair, though, so I'm comfortable having already cast my vote for Lincecum.

SB

I assumed clemenza was joking earlier

I guess rodgers needs to do more commercials

shocking, just...shocking

maybe if ARodg wore a snuggie..?

haha ok i fuckin love lincecum and fuckin HATE rodgers

Absolutely not kidding...I haven't been a football fan since the '70s. My guess is that Favre/Brady are so famous that they're known by even non-fans, in the same way that A-Rod/Ichiro are known by non-baseball fans, but Joey Votto/Felix Hernandez (MVP/Cy Young winners last year) aren't. Don't know where Lincecum sits on that continuum--he's starting to become pretty famous after the World Series.

help me I am in a horrible nightmare

yeah im not sure comapred to those, hes p p famous tho

number of non-football fans who know who rodgers is >> number of non-baseball fans who know who ichiro is

might not have been true before the superbowl

Every sport has a handful of people whose fame transcends the sport, plus a whole bunch of people who, no matter how talented or how many awards or how many championships, haven't yet cracked that barrier...You're really makin' me feel bad here; I didn't know this would be so traumatic for anyone. (I haven't watched a Super Bowl in three decades. You should also factor in that I'm Canadian.)

oh shit I forgot to add "NO CANADIANS" to the poll text

this whole thing could have been cleared up

(Bows head, slowly walks home--ashamed, ostracized, friendless.)

"jarome iginla vs. the sedins"

Gordie Howe vs. a moose.

bob & doug mckenzie vs tooks

i dont even watch baseball/care and I know who lincecum is...but I live 2hrs from san francisco so his fans are hard to avoid :)

did u mean toques

no I meant those little lord of the rings dudes, mookie dont u know anything (grins)

omg why do you hate rodgers, roxy?

Voted Timmeh. Watching him pitch the other night, I never noticed his pitching arm before -- he's skinny, but his arm is all ripped, muscled/pythony. Kinda creepy cool.

what is even happening here
iatee what have you done?

My new favorite word: pythony.

I'd say some really terrible things about baseball here, but I don't want to get sb'ed out of existence.

There's no need to get all pythony about this.

save that for when we really need it, Johnny

this was meant to be more ws than football vs basebal

maybe baseball fans dont get all ws abt their players. with good reason tee hee

lincecum looks like Joseph Gordon Levitt in 3rd Rock From The sun. It is endearing, but I get no ws vibes off that at all.

I totally get his hotness. I think he tops my envy chart atm.

omg I just checked the archives and, as far as I can tell, there's never been a baseball vs. (american) football taking sides thread/poll.

I'm scared to think what would happen if one was started, though.

I did this one favorite of the big four american team sports

but that included the boring sports

hockey is hardly boring f u

did I not make the no canadians thing clear

i am not canadian f u x 2

(although i would be proud to be!)

anyone who likes hockey is a traitor to america unless we're playing canada in the olympics and we win

didn't you see snoop wearing a penguins sweater in the 'gin & juice' video? smdh

Snoop is a fan of every team in every sport.

I used to get so upset in high school when my friends would say that baseball's boring--I mean really upset. As the years went by, and especially when the Toronto Blue Jays stopped playing games that mattered, I gradually became more like Homer Simpson minus the beer: "You know, baseball really is boring." I'm exaggerating...Most of the time it's kind of boring--at its best, in the late innings of a game where you have a rooting interest, I still think it's the most exciting sport, and there's still the Roger Angell purist part of me who loves watching things like a well pitched game.

I've had my say--back to the Yukon.

snoop was merely participating in the 90s ironic t-shirt trend

lol

hockey is p cool imo, hockey dudes way hotter than baseball dudes, but would not derail an A-Rodg thread over it

surely snoop was reaching out to his pittsburgh brethren, culminating in the worldwide phenomenon of wiz khalifa

anyway, hockey is the best screw u xp

Baseball is a better basis for romanticized movies about the players/the sport than football is, I think. Baseball movies tend to be great, football movies tend to be lol awful.

baseball movies are crippled by the fact that the actors they cast are obviously unable to throw a ball 60 feet

props to costner for at least looking reasonable

Barry Pepper as Roger Maris all time FTW

Here's something really weird: I'm a baseball fan who has no use for virtually any of the baseball films that came out in the '80s and '90s (especially The Natural/Field of Dreams...a couple of them were okay). I'm a non-football fan who thinks North Dallas Forty is one of the best films of the '70s.

North Dallas Forty RULES. That we can agree on, clemenza (hi-5)

It's football...aren't we supposed to do some kind of ritualistic end-zone dance?

we can do championship belts, in honor of Aaron Rodgers

Nothing against Timmy but if you don't vote Rodgers after seeing this there's something wrong with you:

I am not aware of any good baseball movies.

but have you seen the 90s remake of angels in the outfield??

I think you can anticipate my answer. Actaually there was ONE good baseball movie made just a couple of years ago, Sugar!

As far as Lincecum being 'cute' -- man, you cannot prove it from that cover shot on yesterday's Sunday NY Times Style supp.

you can tell there is a cute guy begging to escape from behind the bad teenage facial hair/toboggan imo

oh man I meant for this poll to close 3/15

what is the finish date?

5/15

lol :D

Tim Lincecum's 3100 Calorie In-N-Out Meal

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/483654/timchewsgumo.gif

no...just...no

ihu

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

You see? My cluelessness about Rodgers was very much in touch with the zeitgeist.

zeitgeist hell, this was supposed to be a ws thread and it turned into some kind of baseball lovers travesty

wtf wtf

how many times did roxy vote

^^^

on the other hand, how many times did you vote

outrage indeed

I only voted twice, swear on my championship belt

loving these result! Timmy has had three amazing years, Aaron has had one with both winning the Big prize for their team at the end.

aaron's had more than one amazing years unless amazing only means 'the single best player at his position that year'

Never stop being you, Bee OK.

well the other two years Timmy won the Cy Young, did Aaron Rogers win MVP?

no but he was awesome & handsome so
