At the height of the boy band craze (although, did it ever really leave?), MTV decided to naturally capitalize by making a TV movie (their first original one), which spawned a television series. It was an intelligent parody with each “traditional” boy band role covered (the cute one, the shy one, the bad boy, and the older brother) with songs that straddled on the border of satire and cheese, and actually spawned albums that cracked the Billboard Hot 200. Had the premature death of one of the members (Michael Cuccione: The “Cute One”) not have taken place, it is conceivable that their run would have been longer, but does not a boy band have a shelf life anyway?

For a hot minute, this was actually successful.

There are two things we want to make sure people understand. The first is that we don’t hate Elvis Presley. Actually, we love a lot of his music and will even say that their aspects of his impact that might even be underrated. The second is that love doesn’t extend to his acting and choice of films, as he seemed to have the acting range of a toaster. The worse thing with Elvis is that his movies got worse as his career continued. In Spinout, he starred as Mike McCoy, the leader of 1 Plus 2 1/2, a car racer, who of course has a band. This was an awful effort all around, and best forgotten even in the pantheon of Elvis flicks.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Spinout (1966)

Actors:
Elvis Presley
….and does it matter?

Songs you might remember:
Tomorrow is a Long Time

Why you should vote for him:
Honestly you really shouldn’t.

Why you should not vote for him:
This might be one of the worse Elvis movies ever.

Torry Holt's ranking was a challenging task, and it's understandable that opinions may vary on where he should be placed. However, we value your input and would like to hear your thoughts. While Holt's stats may not be better than those of his peers in the Wide Receiver position, he was the most consistent performer in the NFL during the 2000s. Holt played for the Rams for all but one season, catching 920 passes for 13,382 yards. He led the NFL in Receiving Yards twice and was a favorite target of Kurt Warner, the star Quarterback.

He was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times and ranked in the top ten in receiving yards eight times over his eleven-year career. Additionally, Holt was the youngest receiver to reach 10,000 and 11,000 yards, and if he had played for another year or two, his career stats would have been impossible to ignore. We are eager to see what the Football Hall of Fame will do with Torry Holt, especially now that Isaac Bruce has been inducted. It's likely that Holt will soon follow suit, though he has been waiting a while. Holt might be used to that, as he has lived in the shadow of others for years.

One of the top Goalies of the 1970’s, Tony Esposito played the majority (all but thirteen games) of his career with the Chicago Blackhawks. He won the Calder Trophy in 1970, which was also the same year he won his first of three Vezinas. Chicago was a good team in the early 70’s, but declined as the decade progressed. Esposito was still a good goalie (though he his numbers were lower in the second half of the 70’s than the first), but he did not have the help out front like he used to. In 1980, Tony Esposito had his best season in years and was named to his third First Team All Star squad. He would join his brother Phil into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988.
