one of the greatest and most versatile american athletes of all time. won olympic gold in the pentathlon and decathlon at the 1912 olympics. also played college and pro football.
in college he played running back, defensive back, placekicker and punter for carlisle, a little indian school. while at carlisle he was the key component in what is considered to be one of the greatest games ever played, carlisle vs army. in this game carlisle upset the national powerhouse army 27-6. in mordern terms this would be like the New Mexico blowing out OU or Auburn.
as a couple of fun side note in a game against Penn, Thorpe acting in his role as punter, punted the ball down the field. he then sprinted down field and caught his own punt before it hit the ground and ran it a further 20 yards for a touchdown. in the game against army, thorpe had a 92-yard touchdown run which was called back due to a teammate's penalty. so he followed up with a 97-yard touchdown run the very next play. once again against army: army linebacker Dwight Eisenhower, the very same Eisenhower who would go on to be a war hero and president of the united states, and a fellow army teammate attempted to high-low Thorpe late after a play. Thorpe saw them coming and nimbly jumped out of the way, however he waited long enough before evading the hit that Eisenhower and his teammate collided, giving each of them an injury that would eventually end their careers as football players.

Get the Thor's Uppercut mug.The working man's God; very popular in ancient times and is still worshiped today by many Heathens and Pagans. Whereas Odin rewards intellect, Thor rewards hard work. He is often pictured as a mighty viking with a red-beard. His father is Odin and his wife's name is Sif.
Thor sends lighting, thunder and life-giving rain. He has always been a strong protector of His folk and gives gifts freely to his friends. He has a liking for farms, fields, forests, mountains and rivers. Thor has a hearty and often times bawdy sense of humor. He likes drinking, feasting, storytelling, and good company.
His favorite weapon is His mighty hammer, Mjolnir. It strikes lighting and roars with thunder when it is used and always returns to Hid hand. In both ancient times and modern times alike those who worship Him wear a Thor's Hammer about their necks as a sign of their dedication.
We even have a day of the week named in Thor's honor, Thursday.

Thor is perhaps, one of the most friendly and easy to commuciate with Gods. He always answers prayers and doesn't make you guess weather or not he heard you. When I pray, I pray to Thor.
