good thread.

10. mark lemke-early/mid 90's atlanta braves second baseman. he taught me that if you never quit in life, at least you'll have a AA contract as a pitcher.
9. james dalton-high school teacher/the man(just got inducted into the blount county sports hall of fame.)
8. tiger woods-might sound cliche, but the guy wants nothing but to be the best.
7. everyone of my grandfathers friends when i was a kid-all truckdrivers, all willing to kick some ace.
6. every person in the country-during 9/11.
5. allan houston-always seemed like a nice guy during games. was pretty small when he was at ut, but my family watched all of his nba games that were televised.
4. mighty mouse-i cant even begin to remember how many dreams i had of saving the world when i was younger because of this guy.
3. my boss(present day)-he runs a pretty big organization, and is still one of the most laid back and coolest guys in history.
2. leonardo, raphael, michelangelo, and donatello-taught me to hit people with sticks or stab them with sais if i had any problem.
1. Jesus-although i look at him as family, i'm still putting him on here.

**stuart scott was a definite possibility for #10. remember-take a baseball to the eye on the job, you've got job security for the rest of your life.
