Who is Jack Mickorson?

June 25, 2008  03:00 PM ET

Go To Ebay and Search Terry Bradshaw,Jack Lambert,Franco Harris,Big Ben Ect.. and Plz Bid on it
It is a great collection for any sports card collector the set inclues Big Bens Rookie Card and Franco Harris Super Bowl IX MVP and Jack Lamberts Hall of Fame Card

Thats just so amazing you are trying to sell your cards on FN. I was just over at Goodell's other throwdown, where he is arguing for Fernando Valenzuela - I don't collect cards anymore, but I have a Fernando Valenzuela rookie card. I even said so in the comment section. Then I come back here, and your hawking your stuff in the comments section. Am I in the twilight zone?

I still dont know who Jack Mickorson is. I even googled it. Nothing.

DEVIN HESTER 16th WHAT A F**KIN JOKE.OMG!

June 25, 2008  03:10 PM ET

I have mint rookie cards (multiple) for Manny Ramirez - Derik Jeter - A Rod - Schilling - and others These cards have been untouched by human hands and placed in indiviudal platic sealed bags on the day they were taken out of the wrapper ---they are not just mint, they are mint +++ Can anyone tell me what unirform Manny wore for his rookie card (hint, it is not a major league jersey). How aobut Jeter?

June 25, 2008  03:12 PM ET

This list would mean that you have a NASCAR driver over Jim Brown???????????

Hurry and put up an argument so we can vote for you Goodell

You're shilling your ebay junk here? Pretty sure that's not allowed. Knock it off.

June 25, 2008  03:15 PM ET

Richard Petty was a way better driver than Dale Earnhardt.

Vote Goodell

June 25, 2008  03:24 PM ET

Sidney Crosby? Over Bobby Orr? Devin Hester? But you don't have Gale Sayers. And who is Jack Mickorson. And how could you POSSIBLY have no Jesse Owens? No Jim Brown, possibly the greatest NFL player ever and recognized as the best lacrosse player ever by the National Lacrosse Hall Of Fame? A friggin NASCAR driver? No Willie Mays? You do know that Jackie Robinson wasn't even the best Negro Leaguer, right? You don't have Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, or Barry Sanders, either.

Should I keep going?

Don't agree with Carl Lewis being so high but I gotta go with Goodell here...will wait for agruments

June 25, 2008  03:31 PM ET

I saw the title to this TD, and I thought of so many possibilities.. so many ways this could go...

Then I saw Devin Hester at #15...

And Its Phil MICKELSON...

This one is just plain bad... I can't WAIT for the second argument...

June 25, 2008  03:32 PM ET

Pittsburgh left off Ryan Leaf, Brian Bosworth and Tom Mandarich.....those guys were better than some of the players on his list...

 
June 25, 2008  03:32 PM ET
