The Don Makes Time's Top 20 Sports Executives

TheDon

Time Magazine has just published it's list of Best and Worst Sports Executives of 2008 and Don Garber came in at number 14, four places above Roman Abramovich and his scary self. Some of the other footie luminaries who made the list where Sir Alex at No.2, EPL boss Richard Scudamore, and Inter Milan capo Massimo Morretti.

The real head-scratcher is Liverpool's unloved ownership duo, George Gillett & Tom Hicks, in at number 35; so obviously there were no voters from Merseyside included in this little experiment.

Gary Bettman is tied with Tom Hicks and George Gillett. Anyone who knows anything about hockey knows the Bettman is a clown who is booed everywhere he goes even, from the draft to the stanley cup presentation. The list is shit.

Don Garber is a god as far as I'm concerned. He saved soccer in USA and is taking us forward to the promise land. If he can resolve the upcoming CBA battle without causing a lock out and make the league's teams stronger (raise salery cap, increase roster spots) for international competition then I'll name my first born after him.

At Villarreal the president presented him as "Jose Josimer Altidore" Maybe that's one of his real names, sort of like Fredua who goes by Freddie aka biggest midget in the game.

He's officially a JOSE, shall we call him "the special one"
