Some athletes just have that killer desire to succeed. To have to win. The need to win. People that really feel that second place is just the first loser. People who may be more disliked by their teammates....since these guys are so demanding of them.
But who is the biggest competitor of them all?? Who is the one that lives for the moments that scare the crap out of everyone else?
My buddy Ktmdog is trying to figure that out.
Below is the tournament bracket as determined by Ktmdog from a list of competitors voted on by him, me, RichCBT, LBerg, Johnnysee, LakrMike, YCSJ, Endora, Bax Deal, Fine Asset, WolfOnTheAir, JRowe and fellow AOL bloggers Yannis and RaisinBrn. This is the first round......
