I doubt that my team would be substitute apostles with Westen and HHH in it. So i concede this category.

Who wouldn't want to be part of a winning team?

I'm sorry. I really got nothing. I mean just look at it.

Michael Westen, HHH, Lara Croft, Sarah Palin... I lose any way I look at it.

I can make the push for Elf (Buddy) to be one, but my team.

[slamtheking]

doesn't really look like anyone geared their picks for this category but other than my own attempt at justifying my team, the others that might pass for options are Redz, IP and Roy (in no particular order) with 1-2 picks that could pass for apostles.

Yeh.   This thing is fizzling fo shizzle. 

Have to come up with a better 4th category next time.  We used ti have the best Basketball Team but that proved to be far too contentious and people were stretching the bounds of who fit into a topic to the max.

Maybe just skip right to overall?

Thoughts?

Anyone care?

It's all Ray Allen's fault

I like the apostles category, I've just had a busy week / weekend.

As a starter, though, what better apostle would there be than this guy?



The purpose of the Apostles was to help spread The Word, right?  Well, who better than that than Kool Aid Man?  "Drinking the Koolaid" by definition means to become indoctrinated and to have a deep and devout belief in something, even if it doesn't seem rational.  That's what an apostle needs to do.

Stone Cold, spreading The Word...

hence Redz comment "stretching the bounds of who fit into a topic to the max"

Haha.  Maybe, but I was thinking of this category (as well as toughness) when I selected him as a mascot.  He's a two-way player.

Mark Twain would have made an awesome apostle...

-
"If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be -- a Christian."

"If the man doesn´t believe as we do, we say he is a crank, and that settles it. It mean, it does nowadays, because now we can´t burn him."

People can appreciate the folksy, straight-forward talk in an apostle, am I right?

[Roy H.]

Imagine how different Christianity would have been if he'd had Teddy Roosevelt influencing him?

OK, Here we go:
 
1 ) Michelangelo (Artist) - You don't get more divine inspiration than this guy ... if anyone ever had a direct line to Heaven, it's him, (check out the Sistine Chapel ceiling). He also worked directly with more than one pope, who commissioned him to many works artistic and architectural, including the design and construction of cathedrals and basilica domes, windows, staircases, sculptures, etc.. If Mikey doesn't qualify, nobody does.
 
2 ) Thomas Jefferson (Losing Presidential Candidate) - Jefferson was raised Presbyterian and studied under the Reverend James Maury until entering the College of William and Mary at age 16. He was a devout Christian, (though troubled by what he saw as the errors of some sects/denominations of Christianity, esp. Catholicism), and was a principal architect in the founding of our nation's laws under God. Some of his last words were:
 
"I have done for my country, and for all mankind, all that I could do,"
and I now resign my soul, without fear, to my God, -- my daughter to my country."
 
(A heavy qualifier for this category)
 
3 ) Abraham Lincoln (Wild Card) - Lincoln was raised with Christianity, never joined a church, but almost always went on Sunday. He knew the Bible backward and forward, and quoted it often. But regardless of his beliefs, the man ended slavery ... if that isn't saintly, I don't know what is. (Other qualifications if needed).
 
4 ) Brian Scalabrine (Redhead) - A devout Catholic for most of his life, The Bishop of Basketball, the Earle of Enumclaw, the Saint of the Celtics, and just the gosh-darned nicest guy in all of sports, (just ask anyone, especially BassThumper ... nuf sed).
 
5 ) Tupac Shakur (Rapper) - A Saint of the Streets, he was a musician and poet and a voice of his people ... a bard of the barrios, he was a voracious reader, especially of philosophy, his lyrics spoke clearly of a belief in God, and many describe him as a deist, (listen to "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" and "Only God Can Judge Me".
 
6 ) Vic Mackey (TV Cop) - While admittedly a stretch, we see Vic as our "Judas" sort of apostle - a guy who believes and wants very badly to do good, but who just keeps getting in his own way. Nevertheless, Judas was an apostle, and so is Vic in our opinion ... the Apostle of Humanness, let's say.
 
7 ) Michael Phelps (Olympic Gold Medalist) - Who has more gold than this guy? More medals? Don't medals speak on saintliness? He's our U.S. Olympic Apostle, and simply the greatest guy to ever don goggles and a Speedo, (just ask him).
 
8 ) Bruno Sammartino (Wrestler) - One of the staunchest Catholics in the history of Professional Wrestling, and raised as so from birth, spending long hours as a child hiding from Germans in the Italian Alps, and having only an old Bible to read, he became dependent on the Word from an early age. The Reverend of Wrestling.
 
9 ) Mortimer Mc Pestle, The Eutectic (Mascot) - A representative of physics and pharmacy, a natural science and one of the studies of the laws of nature, matter and it's motion through space-time. He is the mascot of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy! "Saint" is part of his title for cryingoutloud! And besides ... McPestle - apostle ... pestle - postle ... woah! They even sound alike!!
 
10 ) Leprechaun (Mythical Being) - I mean, come on!! He's the representative of St. Patrick's Day for heaven's sake!
 
Bam! Home run ... game over!
 
Nobody can compete ... period.
 
Not ...

Even ...

Close.
