       MAJOR LEAGUE GAMING
February 2009 Champion MLG was started in 2002 by Mike Sepso and Sundance DiGiovanni and took on a lofty goal: to form a league, and enough buzz to actually turn video game addicts into professional athletes. Fast forward 7 years and its clearly mission accomplished. They have a television show on ESPN, prizes as large as $100K, tournaments all over the country, and have enabled hundreds of gamers to go professional. In 2008 they signed a deal with Dr. Pepper to put pictures of professional Halo players on 175 million bottles. Think about that for a second, that's not Michael Jordan on a soda bottle, its Tsquared, a guy who plays Halo for a living. Did anyone notice? PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PHOTOGRAPHED WITH AN MLG BOTTLE ON INAGURATION DAY. Vote for MLG because you know you had promise when you were 16, your parents didn't see it, but you damn well knew you were the greatest Double Dragon player on the planet. There just wasn't a future in doing that for a living... back then.

      DON KING
Don King isn't your ordinary Boxing Promoter with extraordinary hair. His promoting accomplishments include "The Rumble in the Jungle," and the "Thrilla in Manila." He has represented some of Boxing greatest: Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, and Evander Holyfield. He even managed the Jacksons' 1984 Victory Tour. Don't let his goofy appearance fool you though. King is about as gritty as they come. He has been indited and sued more times than he has fingers, and has even killed a couple guys who had done him wrong. He's simultaneously the King, and the Don, and a character like him can exist "Only in America".
