    I actually made it through the poll and voted, ticking off exactly 10 my first time through. I was actually at two of the events listed: Pats-Rams Super Bowl (covered) and IU-Syracuse (attended).

    The original list was about 15 - 20 minutes.

    The additions (about 35) came from posts on another thread.

    It's not that tough if you go sport by sport.

    I do regret leaving a few players off (Walter Peyton for example), but I had the additions thread up for a week, and Fisk was still left off.

    As others said, it would've been easier if you just let others list stuff.
