Dear Felix & Nicole,
If you could pick any sports figure to run for President of these great United States, who would it be and why?
Sincerely,
Hillary Obama Edwards
Dear H.O.E.,
For the Republican side, I’d go with an All-American with southern charm. Either Peyton Manning or Jeff Gordon would suffice. Both are well-known across the country, are in thousands of media ads, and have smoking-hot wives, which is always a plus on the campaign trail. I see Manning as a Bushesque-type of politician. If Manning isn’t talking about football, he’s about as smart as a can of tuna. But he’s down to earth and the kind of guy you could kick back with and enjoy a nice cold one. Gordon is more of the clean-cut, good ol’ southern Baptist boy. And if you wanted to get crazy, I’d toss i Karl Malone to be my Alan Keyes.
As far as Democrats go, I’d go with Shaq “Daddy” O’Neal, Derek “Babyface” Jeter, or Tom “I can date anybody” Brady. Shaq’s already a sheriff in Miami-Dade County, so he’d get tons of union support all across the board. Plus, anybody who’s seen Kazaam knows he’d make an excellent politician. Jeter, even though he’s a Yankee, is loved by all. He plays with passion and excitement. His social life is a bit risqué as of late, which might hurt him with the female voters. Finally, Mr. Brady could do anything he wants. And anybody that does Stetson ads on top of all his accomplishments
is a serious contender. Ultimately, Tom Brady would win for two words alone: Gisele Bundchen.
Yours truly,
Felix
Dear H.O.E.,
We should all know that after 200 years of political parties, it doesn’t matter who wins; after four years we want them out of office, but we are usually punished with four more years. So why not vote in a sports star and at least make the extra four years go by with some excitement and fanfare?
With that said, two NFL stars get my vote, LaDanian Tomilison (L.T.) and Brett Farve. They are both well-known athletes, have tons of endorsements, and while I don’t know what their wives look like, each is smoking hot; just watch Favre’s Wrangler commercials to get a sense of the rugged good looks I am endorsing here.
Then there is L.T. He smiles and the room melts, but Favre and L.T. offer more than good looks and bad movies. Both have a strong work ethic, a no-quit attitude, and a sense of loyalty that this country has been missing. Their love of their communities goes without saying, consistently giving back to ensure America is taken care of. Both can hold a conversation without a press secretary present, and as for their private lives, let’s just say Monica won’t be showing up in a stained dress and bad blowout anytime soon. I have spent years waking up with these two on Sunday morning and falling asleep with them on an occasional Monday night, so trust me when I say every day should be Favre and L.T. Day.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Devin Hester. His stance on renewable energy should be heard on capitol hill. If congress would stop being so short sighted they would understand his stance. (Continued…)
