I guess I can't go wrong by picking my favourite movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Probably the greatest action/adventure movie ever made, and one of Hollywood's most enduring icons. There's just so much that is right about this movie -- Harrison Ford's perfect portrayal of Indiana Jones, the unforgettable action sequences, Paul Freeman as the wonderfully nuanced antagonist Rene Belloq, the great John Williams score. It's as enjoyable a movie as I could imagine.

He didn't-uh.

I should say right off the bat that I have no expectations of actually winning a contest with my 20 matches, and I'm pretty much just picking these for my own personal amusement.

I'd prefer drafting linemen individually. There are places you can go to find out who the best linemen have been over the years. But, I'm OK the other way, too.

Wow, I really thought that one would go later. Nice.

Truth be told, I almost picked that one.

See, a pick like that is why I'm really looking forward to seeing how this thread develops. Everyone is going to have their own time periods and their own guys that they remember most fondly, and we're going to get some very interesting lists out of that.

This may be the oddest headline I've ever seen on ESPN.com: Angry sumo wrestler attacks apprentice with ladle

I'd probably be up for 30, personally. Where are we all going?

In.

That is truly poetic. Almost Shakespearean. Which is appropriate, given the never-ending tragedy being played out in KC.

I was looking for someone who was a good long-range shooter this round, and snagged someone who not only can shoot (the Rockets' all-time leader in 3-point %), but is a good assist man and has a couple of rings: TNT's own, Kenny "The Jet" Smith!

Well, that still leaves my favourite match of all time available. I can watch this match over and over again and never get tired of it. WWF Intercontinental Championship match: Randy "Macho Man" Savage [c] vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, WrestleMania III, March 29, 1987

Riles would probably choke him out first.

Welcome to the Eastern Conference finals, Ray Allen.

Yeah, he definitely did. I totally spaced on him with my last pick, or I might have grabbed him.

Yeah, and I'm half expecting the NHL draft to be abandoned within a couple of weeks. That thing is dragging.

Where ABOBO happens.

I was torn between two guys. One is more well known, and might not get back to me, but the other fits my team better and I really don't want to pass him up. So, I'm taking a chance and going with the second guy: Dan Roundfield, F/C 3x All-Star 3x All-Defensive 1st team 2x All-Defensive 2nd team All-NBA 2nd team (1980) A solid defender, in the Ben Wallace mold, but he could shoot and score, too. Another 20-10 guy in his prime. He'll provide a big contribution off the bench.

Where doin' it for the conference happens. Where cumming on a weight bench happens. Where messageboarding being better than sex happens.

I think the people who missed out on this should make up the judging panel (or at least be on it). I'm having a terrific time following this thread.

You guys are reading my mind with these picks.

Good, now I don't have to justify passing on Clarke when it gets back to me. I refused to have him on my team.
