Pat Summitt has been called a living legend. As head coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols, Summitt has taken her NCAA Division I women's basketball team to back-to-back national championships in 1996 and 1997, and five titles in a 10-year span.

Manning
by Peyton Manning, John Underwood (Contributor), Archie Manning
Price: $16.80
It seems somehow fitting that the first pass Peyton Manning, the $48 million man, threw as a professional went for a touchdown. His father Archie Manning, in this team effort from two of football's more interesting quarterbacks, stresses that "My only hard rule [with his sons growing up] was that they finish what they start." Peyton, the All-American Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tennessee, obviously listened to his All-American from Ole Miss father, whose strong right arm almost made the Saints competitive over 12 seasons in New Orleans.
Dan Jenkins simply summed up the popularity of the game of football in the South with the following statement: "To southerners, football is as essential as air conditioning."
