You're Starting Your Own Professional (Sports) Franchise

  • SnotBubbles
    You're developing an MLB team, an NBA team and an NFL team. You can pull one current player from the league and place him on your team as your "franchise player." Who do you choose in each sport?
  • se-alum
    MLB- Pujols
    NBA- LeBron
    NFL- Peyton Manning
  • thedynasty1998
    Pujols
    Lebron
    Aaron Rogers
  • Leonardo
    MLB - Albert Pujols
    NBA - LeBron James
    NFL - Matt Ryan
  • brutus161
    MLB-Pujols
    NBA-Lebron
    NFL-Rivers

    Can we just agree that all MLB will be Pujols? I know some people will pick Kobe for NBA, so there is still a choice there.
  • Pick6
    MLB- Jose Canseco
    NFL-Matt Ryan
    NBA- James
  • Nate
    MLB - Pujols
    NBA - James
    NFL - Brees
  • BigAppleBuckeye
    MLB - Hanley Ramirez ... stud, and much younger than Pujols (runner up: Tim Lincecum)
    NBA - Lebron James ... young, marketable, stud, not much else to say (runner up: Kobe Bryant)
    NFL - Adrian Peterson ... once he learns not to fumble, will be an all-time great, and still only 3 years of experience (runner up: Chris Johnson)
  • ksig489
    MLB - Joe Mauer
    NBA - Chris Paul (gotta have the PG)
    NFL - Tough one...Rodgers, Fitzgerald, Chris Johnson...I would go with Fitzgerald due to the fact that I think he will have some serious career longevity. If Peyton Manning was in his first 5 seasons still, he would be a no brainer. If I'm building a franchise...he's just too old at this point.
  • j_crazy
    MLB - Lincecum
    NBA - Lebron
    NFL - Manning if I have a domed stadium, Brady if I don't.
  • Sonofanump
    MLB- Justin Upton, Hanley Ramirez
    NBA- LeBron James, Kevin Durant
    NFL- Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson
  • SnotBubbles
    MLB - Albert Pujols
    NBA - Deron Williams
    NFL - Drew Brees
  • stroups
    MLB - Hanley Ramirez............ Troy Tulowitzki for my second choice
    NBA - Lebron
    NFL - Matt Ryan
  • capninsano
    I don't watch MLB at all so I'm doing NHL

    NHL - Crosby (Not my fav. player but it's hard to argue this one)
    NFL - Roethlisberger (Young, clutch, two SB rings already)
    NBA - James (Goes without saying)

    Philip Rivers????? Geez, Doc Rivers would be a better starting point and I don't know if he's ever even played football......:P

    ^ This

    I was thinking pretty much the same thing. I actually looked on NFL.com to see if there was another Rivers I was forgetting about

    But then again...the post right above yours has Big Ben...do you get him on the field only? Or do you get his off the field antics as well?
