Sly: Most Influential 2008

Craig / / 2008, Honors
Here’s an e-mail I recently received:

Hi,

I wanted to let you know that Sylvester Stallone has been officially nominated for AskMen.com’s Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2008 reader’s poll. I was hoping you could share the good news with your readers – I’m sure they’ll be delighted to hear about the nomination.

Thanks in large part to the amazing support from sites like StalloneZone.com, the Top 49 Most Influential Men has become a popular annual mainstay on AskMen.com – in fact, the 2008 edition of the list will mark our 3RD anniversary.

The purpose of the Top 49 is to determine which guys have had the biggest impact on the way other men dress, talk, buy, and think over the past 12 months. We at AskMen.com have a good enough idea to have assembled the shortlist of candidates, and now we need your help in determining the final 49. Please feel free to vote as often as you like; your picks will be combined with those of other AskMen.com readers and our staff to produce the final list: the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2008. The final results are scheduled to be revealed on Tuesday October 21st.

Vote now!

Thanks,

Johnny Testa

Kevin Williamson of the Ottowa Sun, in the April 6, 2008 edition picks his Top Ten Cop Movies. As you can imagine, it’s a great list since there have been a ton of great cop flicks.

Here’s what he had to say about Cop Land:

8. COPLAND (1997)

Sylvester Stallone may be content to regurgitate his Rambo and Rocky franchises now, but for a fleeting moment in the mid-1990s, he dared to bulk up as a sheriff faced with a town of dirty big-city officers.
