Stanky Leggs in Football: An Investigation

Charlie Davies has proven to be a revelation for more than one reason the past month. Not only is he a great foil for star-in-the-making Jozy Altidore, a high-intensity striker who always harrasses defenses and never seems to slow down, he also is single-handedly bringing the Stanky Legg to the world's game.
