The Two Kings

Two men sit atop the food chain that is American sports. They've been the ones in recent years that control the headlines and not only are they the faces of their respective teams, sports, and leagues, but they're the kings of the American sports world.

Tom Brady is the NFL. He's part of the winningest QB-Coach combo in the NFL and plays for a franchise that's won three Super Bowls in the last decade and had perhaps the greatest season by a QB ever in 2007. He's got that image that Americans love, is married to Gisele and uses Gillette razors. Peyton Manning would share this seat with Brady if not for his injury, and I can see Aaron Rodgers taking over in the next few years.

He's the best player in baseball, he's young for a player that's accomplished what he has, and is well on his way to breaking records. He's Albert Pujols. He's got this foreign charm thing going with him and has a squeaky clean image. What I love is that he's been with the Cardinals for his whole career. He loses his seat if he leaves St. Louis for the money, and baseball will be faceless. Remember when A-Rod left Seattle? That's what would happen if Prince Albert left.

Yes, they call him King James, but can you really be a King in the sports world when you aren't even the most important on your own team. That's Wade. So, sorry to all of you LeBron fans, but he doesn't deserve a spot at the table. If Kevin Durant were in a larger market he'd be one, but he's not. Simple as that.
