• AZ Sports Power Players: Week of May 19th

    Every Monday (since last week) we name the top 5 news makers in Arizona sports for the week prior. These can be either good or bad for Arizona Sports. Heck, they can be former players, coaches, opposing teams, etc. We call this the super, ultimate, face crushing, Arizona Sports Power Players Poll of the week!

    As always feel free to comment on our selections and make your own nominations.

    AZ Sports Power Players: Week of May 19th
      RK (LW) PERSON/TEAM COMMENT
    Brandon Webb Headshot 1 (2) Brandon Webb No one can argue that Brandon Webb’s season so far has been in the words of Jim Rome, “Phenomenal.” Can he get to 10-0? We’d like to see it happen.
    Can Randy Johnson get to 300 this season? 2 (NR) Randy Johnson The Big Unit went 2-0 for the week, lowered his ERA to 4.42 and notched his 288th career win. This week was all his.
    Lisa Love, ASU - V.P. of University Athletics 3 (NR) Lisa Love Well, congratulations on eliminating three sports (Mens Swimming, Wrestling and Tennis) from ASU’s athletic program just to save a measly $1M.
    Robert Sarver. Can he rebuild/retool his team? 4 (NR) Robert Sarver Thank you Sarver for preaching patience to the Suns fan base. Our only question…where was your patience in dealing with former coach Mike D’Antoni?? Yeah, we didn’t think so.
    Stephen Drew Headshot 5 (4) Stephen Drew Drew continues his torrid hitting, powering Randy Johnson to his 287th victory on Tuesday. He hit .386 for the week with 1 HR, 4 RBI, and racked up 16 total bases.

    Others receiving votes: Brandon Lyon, ASU Softball, Steve Kerr, Arizona Rattlers, Charles Barkley, Wayne Gretzky, Chris Young
