Favorite MomentIt's a tie. The Bears' '07 trip to the Super Bowl, (not so much the result...), Greg Maddux's 300th win, any of the Bulls 90's championships..heck, I'll even tack on Slammin' Sammy's chase for Maris and 61 in '98.

Worst MomentIt rhymes with Eve Fartman. I'll leave it at that.

Favorite AthletesGreg Maddux. Unathletic, frumpy, average-joe physique overshadowed by utterly incomparable control and finesse -- 350+ wins worth. And that's without mentioning he's a first-rate character guy. Maddux is a flat-out winner, my favorite Cub and athlete of all time -- it's not even close.

Honorable mentions: Glenallen Hill, Kerry Wood, Toni Kukoc, Brett Favre, Steve Novak, Mike Hart, & Devin Hester

Least Favorite AthletesRoger Clemens. Terrelle Pryor. Justin Boren.
