Some of my blogger buddies over at SportsUntapped did something pretty cool, they had a Thanksgiving athlete draft. As in, if you could bring any athlete to Thanksgiving dinner, who would it be?

The list is extensive, and hilarious. But who would you bring? I'd probably go with Ochocinco, for pure comedy's sake.

 Yeah Barkley for sure. Ochocinco wouldn't be bad. Shannon Sharpe, Tiki Barber (just thinking of the outspoken types). Dennis Rodman-- um, maybe not. John Kruk, who can occasionally be funny, and so I can give him s**t about his zero confidence in the Rockies taking the Wild Card last year. 

Brett Favre, so we can have this conversation:

"Would you like some cranberry sauce, Brett?"

"Yes.. well, no. I don't really like cranberry sauce. Well, it's OK. I'll take some."

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely. No. I don't know. Is it whole cranberries or the jelly stuff?"

"Which one do you like better? I think I have both?"

"Definitely the whole. Yeah, I'll definitely eat the whole. Maybe. Let me see the jelly. I don't know. Give me some. I'm definitely not eating it. OK if you put it that way, I'll eat it. Maybe."

DO they have to be playing now, because my nuber 1 pick would definitely be Charles Barkley.

Definitely. I mean, can you imagine how hilarious it would be.

"OH MAN! This turkey is TURRIBLE!"

"Somebody get Manute Bol in here, he needs to eat!"

Hey, i am officially offended. and this was too funny.  I'd invite Brett anywhere for no reason at all.

As much fun as Charles Barkley would be to have Thanksgiving dinner with, if I could choose only one athlete I'm probably going to go with Gina Carano for altogether different reasons...

 This is where I'd like to make some distasteful comment about your likely desire to separate Brett from his Wranglers, but I of course won't go there.

Matt Hasselbeck, no question. Not only does he play for my favorite team, but he's hilarious and seems like a genuinely nice guy.

Shaq!!!    HE IS HILARIOUS!!!!!    Shaq would be great to have over for Thanksgiving, the guy would be the funniest person to have around by FAR!!!

I would have to choose Manute Bol, because I wouldn't have to worry about running out of food!



And Bonus! If he brings Muggsy, you could have a portable drink rest!

Chuck, without question. But as dwyermaker points out, if this were any other holiday, I'd probably go with our old fan favorite, Allison Stokke.

I'd invite Michael Phelps also. I wouldn't get mad if he brought his bong as long as he didn't get the munchies and eat all the Turkey.

Wait, is he considered a pseudo athlete?  Who cares, it would be hysterical.

My top 4:

1. Tony Stewart- He could take care of the leftovers and crack me up

2. Dale Jr- He needs a little fattening up, body wise, as well as between those ears

3. Mike Ditka - Cos I want to hear his stories

4. Tim Tebow - I want to know if he is as true blue as they say, and if he is , he'd be a great kid to have    around

I'd take Michael Phelps, but I'd make sure he trained that day, and I then I'd watch him take down 8,000 calories or whatever it is he eats when he's training.

Hines Ward

Michael Strahan

Warren Sapp

Brian Urlacher

All at the same time... or if I am limited to one, IN THAT ORDER!

I'd like to have dinner with Jimmie Johnson and his 4peat trophy and have his wife tell my wife that racin's not such a bad thing and that if I were on a track speeding instead of the highways and bywys getting tickets she would be as happy as she was about her man makin 60 million bucks instead of being close to loosin his license to the courts and keelin all of the little towns and podunks afloat.
