Amanda: "Hey there Lance, our children could be triathletes"

Lance: "Sure thing babe, but after I finish my Dasani"

Every year tens of millions of sports fans spend countless hours tinkering with the makeup of imaginary teams pretending to be general managers. We take the popular role playing game a step further and send our favorite athletes to the altar.

1) Sidney Crosby + Sasha Cohen Marry the Penguin's potent playmaking with the Olympian's heart-melting salchowing and you've got a good ole fashioned 6.0.
Tabloid Name- Sashiney

2) Danica Patrick + Yao Ming The Indy Car queen would need a ladder to get some face time with the super-sized Houston Rockets Centre but you just see handlers on both sides of the Pacific just hopping at the commercial prospects of this merger.
Tabloid Name- Yaonica

3) Daisuke Matsuzaka + Paula Creamer His red sox uniform may clash with her pink panther get-ups but these two sure know how to make balls go crazy. Psst…don't tell Daisuke's wife about this.
Tabloid Name: Dice'n'Slice

4) Lance Armstrong + Amanda Beard Golden boy cyclist meets golden girl swimmer. It's such a syrupy sweet match that Mattel's ensuing "action figures" and playhouse set will kick Barbie's plastic tush down to the bottom shelf. Tabloid Name- Lanbanda

5) Chuck Liddell + Serena Williams Sure, the Ultimate Fighter and the Tennis titan both have bodacious biceps and can serve up a slaughter in their respective sports but what'll keep this flame burning is their shared passion for painting their nails.
Tabloid Name: Slamerena

6) Barry Bonds + Jennie Finch There's nothing soft about the blonde bombshell's hurler's riseballs. The sultan of slug and performance-enhancing substances will have to dig deep to avoids wiffing on Jennie's hot stuff. Tabloid Name: Beauty and the Beast

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Hey thanks Jib. Wow I'm truly honored to receive a comment from you. Keep up the amazing work. I'd love to do a Q&A with you sometime for newsvine or a magazine--for the latter I'd have to do a little research first so I can come up with an angle to pitch you to some of the print outlets I do work for. I'll email you through your press relations dept after I figure that out and hopefully we can set something up or if you could drop me an email at dojcster@gmail.com so that I'll have your contact info that would be awesome.

Hey, great article, Mike. It cracked me up! I especially liked that you managed to squeeze Chuck Liddell in there.

On another tack, she may be getting a bit dated, but d'you think you could manage to match Gabrielle Reece up?

Ahhhh Gabrielle Reece, I remember when she was the queen of V-Ball well before Misty May/Kerri Walsh. She did playboy too. I don't know though She and her hubbie (surfer/model Laird Hamilton) actually fit quite well together so I wouldn't want to break'em up.

Well, maybe Gabby and Laird are the fantasy couple then; the Becks and Posh of the second tier....

That is funny stuff. Now do a Newsvine couples version.

Much like the Hottest Newsviner contest, that is one I would watch with much interest, but stay 100 miles away from commenting on.

Go for it, Mike....

Not a bad idea. Except Cash would have to be coupled with himself since there is no one who loves Cash more than Cash ;-)
