I was thinking something like an NCAA March Madness style tournament. There'd be separate brackets for athletes of each sport (football/soccer, American football, basketball, baseball) and the winners of each bracket would square off in the end in a Final Four and then a Championship. Please PM me a list of your favorite 16 athletes from those sports (past or present). #1 would be worth 16 points all the way down to #16 which is worth 1 point. You can include any number between 1 and 16 but they'll be worth less. You don't have to have a list for each sport either (for example have a Top 16 for soccer and football but not basketball and baseball).
Voting will be open for 1 week but I'll expand that time if needed.
FYCs are welcome in the comments.

I'm watching O.J.: Made in America right now, so you know who's getting my pick.  Actually, I hate sports (more specifically, I hate the attitude and mindset that has come to define sports), so I wouldn't be voting in this. I don't watch them, I don't follow anything about them, and I would only know names of some of my parents' favorite athletes (my mom was friends with some pro baseball players in her day; she would watch all of the games as a kid and got to know some of the players pretty well and still keeps in touch a little bit with some of them). So no, I'm not interested, but I don't hang around here anyway.

Ok, this looks like a good amount of support for the idea. Go ahead and start PMing your ballots please.

I'm dumb and forgot to change the thread title to show that this started. No wonder I wasn't getting any ballots. Lol

Bump. Would like to get at least 10 ballots. More would obviously be welcome.
