George Bodenheimer President, ESPN, ABC Sports; co-chairman, Disney Media Networks 36. John Skipper EVP, content, ESPN 66. John Walsh SVP, executive editor, ESPN Internet Group 82. John Kosner SVP, General Manager, ESPN New Media 99.

To figure out who should be on the list and at what position, BusinessWeek assembled a panel of 20 experts from sports and media. (ESPN The Magazine, a powerful sports brand in its own right, did not participate in the ranking.) We gave our panelists several criteria to help guide them. Among the measures: how individuals rate vs. their peers; how much money they control, generate, or influence; how long people have exercised power; and their long-term impact on a sport or the larger world of sports. Here are the panelists:

1. Shane Battier
2. Amanda Beard
3. Bill Cowher
4. Carl Edwards
5. Brad Faxon
6. Sal Galatioto
7. Marc Ganis
8. Martina Hingis
9. Rick Horrow
10. Mark Kriegel
11. Tommy Lasorda
12. Lisa Leslie

Some pictures so you can envision where I am most of the day this week.

In Bangalore there are taxis that are really kind of like motorized rickshaws. Rich, Diego, and I squeezed into the back of one.
