Q: Which current athlete is most likely to give an impassioned speech that breaks down long-held prejudices (like how Rocky ended the Cold War)?
-Travis S., New Jersey
SG: I vote for The Right Reverend Tim T. Messiah. Fox's Thom Brennaman spent 15 minutes with him before the (BASEketball alert!) FedEx Orange Bowl and raved about the experience three different times during the telecast, like his life had been irrevocably altered. Can you think of anyone you've ever met for just 15 minutes—in your life—who would turn you into a blubbering stalker on live TV? I say we send The Right Reverend Tim T. Messiah to the Middle East. He can start with Al Qaeda.
