Its Joe.

I mean Michael Strahan is your football example?

How about Joe fricking Montana? Joe Louis? Joe DiMaggio?

Don't forget all us average Joes.

Joe is the #1 sports name easily. In fact it was used in the 1950's as a term for a jock...he's a Joe.

You can make a case that it is the greatest male name ever.

Came to post this. While I love Carrick, Michael Owen is the clear best Michael in soccer. Ballon d'Or winner.
