Epic Drop: Top 10 Upcoming Celebrity Sports Contracts

Your list is here, and I suppose it's all well and good that the Yankees have gotten further in bed with Billy Crystal, given his reflexive Mickey Mantle pimping and all, but... doesn't it say something to the graying of the American sports fan that this was their big PR moment? And if you were Pirates pitcher Pat Maholm, weren't you in the least bit tempted to back him off the plate and make him soil himself? (If, for no other reason, "City Slickers 2.")

Finally, when can we expect similar experiences for NFL teams? I think we'd all like to see either Rush Limbaugh or Dennis Miller behind center for their beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. (And in my little fantasy, Brian Dawkins is coming on a safety blitz, and the offensive line doesn't seem all that interested in blocking him...)
