Fail.

Pops always taught me to aim low and avoid disappointment. Unfortunately, this is just not plausible when considering high level collegiate or professional sports. These athletes make a living out of doing one thing, whether it is hitting a ball with a bat, catching a conal object formed of pigskin or just running in a straight line a lot.

Lots of these athletes make their job look easy. Some make it look hard.

In this spirit, we introduce the Lee Campbell Award for Underachievement. Nominate your favorite athlete (or team) who continually confounds expectations by blowing big games, or taking it upon himself to fail at sports.



Named for the starting linebacker of the Golden Gopher Football teams, a nominee should continue his proud tradition of blowing lane assignments, missing tackles and astoundingly continuing to talk trash.

The Polls are open!
