Our Picks for the US Olympic Shooting Dream Team
12/04/2008

Now that our newest Dream Team's got Olympic basketball gold locked up once again, it's time we start dominating another sport in which we've been perennial also-rans: Shooting.

And just like we did in hoops, we say it's high time we build a shooting Dream Team of pro athletes who can finally bring home the gold in shooting events like 50 meter pistol, 25 meter rapid fire pistol, team rifle, and especially the 50 meter running target. Ending our decades-long national embarrassment. Here are our picks for the new US Olympic Shooting Dream Team:


Dick Cheney - Coach
Every team needs the experienced master at the helm, and no one can show these guys how to handle a rifle better than the biggest Dick in history.



Antonio Pierce - Equipment Manager
Because someone's got to hold all the firearms.



Jayson Williams
Put a limo driver's cap on the target in the rifle competition and Williams is guaranteed gold.




Plaxico Buress
Sure he needs a little work on his aim, but Plax has a proven ability to hit a target from any position, even while reaching down sweat pants.


Tank Johnson
No need to raise funds to outfit the team. This former Bear and Cowboy has a large enough personal arsenal to keep the team in weapons and ammo for years of training.


Marvin Harrison
Hard not to hit something on the target with the bear-stopping .50 caliber rounds Harrison is allegedly fond of.



Rae Carruth
Will be hiding in a trunk during the medal ceremony.



Sean "P Diddy" Colmes - Amateur
Every team has to have an amateur, and when the mayor of New York recognizes your gun-toting prowess, it makes you the obvious pick for this Dream Team. Even though after the medal ceremony, his lawyer will claim he never competed in any of the events.
