Post comments below. 797505[/snapback] Not to say it's the most coveted, but I think the Triple Crown should replace the Kentucky Derby. Really I don't think it's logical t pick one. It obviously depends on what sport you play or follow.

I had already thought about it and i thought that i would limit it to the single race that i best known in America.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 What was the name of the trophy Akeelah Anderson won?
daquixers_is_back Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 How could everyone not vote for Lombardi trophy .... no way the Stanely Cup is more covited ... I dont think the total audience for a 7 game series in NHL is the ammount of 1 playoff game in the NFL.

The Avenger Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Although you wouldn't know it living in the U.S., the biggest, most coveted trophy has got to be the World Cup (soccer).

I dont think the total audience for a 7 game series in NHL is the ammount of 1 playoff game in the NFL. 797539[/snapback] You're right. Every kid who ever picks up a football dreams of one day running around the field with the Lombardi Trophy. In fact, I remember when my mom would call us in for dinner we'd always say "this play decides the Lombardi Trophy." Shoot, kids in the Soviet Union, Czech Republic, Germany, etc will wait hours in the rain for a chance to have their picture taken with the Lombardi Trophy.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I think the Stanley Cup is more coveted for one simple reason: when you win it, it's personal. They engrave your name on it.

I didnt realize we were taking a world vote ... my bad but still ... every kid dreams of skating up and down the ice with the Stanley Cup? I didnt even dream of playing hockey period, even though I loved the sport.
Alaska Darin Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Sorry. I didnt realize we were taking a world vote ... my bad 797583[/snapback] That really doesn't matter. No one in football really talks about the Lombardi Trophy. They talk about winning the Super Bowl. Big difference. Hey Tom Brady, how many Lombardi Trophies have you won? "I don't know, but I've got three bitchen Super Bowl Rings." Ya know?
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I think the Stanley Cup is more coveted for one simple reason: when you win it, it's personal. They engrave your name on it. 797558[/snapback] True, so true. Maybe the original cup... In the Hall... After years the rings are replaced to make room for new ones... And even then, I don't know what they do with the excess rings...?? So technically, the player skating around the rink this year is really only toting around the names of the last 2-3 decades...
Dibs Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Sorry. I didnt realize we were taking a world vote ... my bad but still ... every kid dreams of skating up and down the ice with the Stanley Cup? I didnt even dream of playing hockey period, even though I loved the sport. 797583[/snapback] Ummm...isn't hockey marginalized to the cold weather areas of the US? I know it's pretty big up north but isn't is virtually ignored by half the country(south)? I know that it's the little brother to the other three biggies...Football, Baseball, Basketball. I would think that 'every kid' is a humongous exaggeration....or at least a lot of wishful thinking on your part.
Just Jack Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I think the Stanley Cup is more coveted for one simple reason: when you win it, it's personal. They engrave your name on it. 797558[/snapback] That is part of my reason for voting for it. The other is that you can have it for one day to do whatever you want. I've never heard of teams letting their players take the Lombardi home.
