    That is a tremendous factoid.
    No Bjorn Borg? No foreign-born NBA player such as Giannis?

    How did Magic OR Bird never win it? Saban?

    Oh and there IS a list of disgraced winners. The Rushmore.

    Lance Armstrong, Brett Favre, McGwire/Sosa, Pete Rose. Nope, OJ never won it.

    Interesting tidbit: The story that I talked about on another thread here was all set to go to Sports Illustrated until the editor who wanted it was laid off earlier this year.

    Curt Schilling, 2001 co-winner, demands inclusion on this Rushmore.

    Sanders made a shitload of money for the magazine, in its former life.

    Has Schilling ever broken the law or blatantly cheated? A-hole of course, bigot sure, failed businessman, certainly. Who would you take off for Schilling?

    He paid a $2.5M fine for fraud over his video game company. And two banks were hit hard by the feds because of that fraud. They declined to press criminal charges against Schilling.

    But yes, he broke the law.

    You're right. He voluntarily paid a $2.5M fine for shits and giggles.
