1. Pitcher for the yankees..
you dont have to run..
you get to party hard in new york..
a fleet of international models chasing you down the street..
when you are on, you get 80% of batters out..

2. Punter for an NFL team..
no pressure.. You get to tell girls you are an NFL player, when in reality you are not..
you get all the perks, and none of the downside..
plus a 20year career.. And a fat annual pension check when you retire..

3. A 6"5 tennis player.. In the 90"s..
you get to smack tons of aces.. You do less running..
you can turn pro and win grand slams at age 15..
you get to travel the world and lead a gypsy life..

4. English striker, soccer..
england, cause you get to play euro and world cup..
striker, cause, for example:
torres is the worst guy on the spanish team, yet he scored 2 goals today, see what i mean?

5. A bench warmer for the LA lakers..
you basically do nothing, and get to party with cool actors

6. A hockey player for the montreal canadiens!
i could practice my french..
plus, we all know canada is more passionate about hockey and they have the strongest beer in the world..


While I'm lazy, my fantasy involves having a great sports job instead of my current one, so I would actually put some effort into it. In no particular order...

1. Greatest Fighter Ever
Simultaneously hold world boxing, MMA, and WWE titles simultaneously. Hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsement money. Most famous athlete in the world.

2. Rich Owner - EPL team
Buy a lowly EPL team from a small town (Wigan? Stoke?). Stock it with great players. Win multiple EPL and Champions League titles. Crush all London and Manchester teams.

3. Multi-Team Sport All-Star
Play MLB, NFL, and NBA all at the same time, but be of all-star quality in all of them. Hit 4 home runs and score 4 TDs in the same day. Most famous US athlete and all that comes with that.

4. US Olympian - All Track and Field Athletes
Compete and succeed in all track and field events, from the 100 meter dash to the marathon, plus hurdles, high jump, pole vault, shot put, etc. Break all-time Olympics medals record in a single games. Become most famous athlete... blah blah blah

5. Best driver ever
Win Daytona, Indy 500, Monte Carlo, Le Mans, and Moto GP in same year. most famous... blah blah


I loved your multiple sports one..
but
that would require an insane amount of energy..

If i had to be a multiple sports, i would want to break it up..
tennis 15_24
nfl 24_33
nba 33_40
pitcher 40_50..
manager of baseball 50_80..

In tennis, i would win:
95 french
96, aussie, french, wimbledon
97, french, Us open
98 aussie, french, us
99 aussie,
00french, us
01, french wimbledon, us
02 aussie, french wimbie
03 french, us
04 french

I would win 21 slams, and then call it a day..


Then, i would join the bears..
since you went all in, i would be a QB..
Win 6 championships in my 9 year career, going undefeated once, of course..
with that great defence it wouldnt be hard..

Nba 7 rings in 7 years!!
i guess it would have to be oklahoma, since that is the real team of the next 7 years..

At age 40, i would be a junk ball pitcher like moyer..
i would spend my time with yankees, indians and cubbies..
bringing 3 titles to the indians and 3 to the cubbies..
i would pitch left and right handed..
so i could make 4 starts in a 7 games series..

I think it's better to play them all simultaneously, that way you can be in your prime in all of them. Maybe I'd plan basketball until I'm 32 and switch to hockey for 10 years on defense.

But being Jamie Moyer would stink, in my opinion, as no one trusts his stuff and he gets blown up a lot. I'd rather be late-career Nolan Ryan and be able to throw hard stuff until I'm near 50. If we're talking fantasy, I'd be a power-hitting shortstop who pitches every 5th day.

For the NFL, gotta be QB. Think Cam Newton's physical abilities with Manning/Brady-level game knowledge. A killer combo and no one would know if you're running or passing.

I feel no need to win at tennis, but you could combine this with the fighter fantasy, as it'd be cool to see tennis players get psyched out before a match when this muscle-bound fighter is across from them. There's not nearly enough intimidation in tennis. Same is true of golf.

In the NBA, I'd like to be one-man team, like LeBron with Durant's shot. What would be more impressive than winning a championship 1 on 5?

Just remember, if you're on the Canadiens, you'll get a lot of heat since they stink.

Frog.. the only flaw in your English strike fantasy is that you are English. Why not be a striker for a team that might win something?
