The worlds "greatest"!

I'm posting this tread to deal with the "greats" of sport in gereral such as the greatest ever sports man, the greatest (your favourite) sport. So get posting!

*Edit* Sorry put quotion marks on the wrong part of the title.

Jerry Rice is the greatest ever sportsman.

NFL legend.

Followed closely by Michael Jordan and Pele.

I would have to say "ALI" followed by "PELE"

Phil Taylor - Darts
Tiger Woods - Golf
Schumacher - F1
Pele/Maradona - Football
Ali - Boxing

Maradona no way , wasn't the greatest sports person he could ahve been if he didnt get involed with drugs.

Was probably the most technically gifted footballer ever, yeah, but as a person... well, basically, the guy sucks.

As a footballer, though, I still think that he was better than Pele. Yup.

Hockey~Wayne Gretzky
Boxing~Rocky Marciano,Boxings only undefeated champion of the 20th Century
Baseball~,
Greatest homerun hitter:Babe Ruth
Greatest Hitter; Ted Williams
Greatest strikout pitcher;Nolan Ryan
Greatest pitcher;Bob Gibson
Greatest all around player of this decade;Ken Griffy Jr

Greatest Sports Person Of All Time In All Sports though is:

Phil 'The Power' Taylor, you just have to look what he has brought to the sport, his character and his trophy cabinet.

Johnny U.
---- Butkis
Earl Cambell

all tough as hell

how could I forget the most dangerous man in the world Ken Shamrock.

Yep Phil Taylor is a legend in darts. Became even better than his mentor Eric Bristowe.

Yeah sure he did some stup things but I don't thinkthat takes away from his "sporting" graetness.

Mike alstot in his prime also.

Now there's a fullback.

Greatest sportsman, though?

ever seen the high school clips?

Nope, got any I can have a look at?

Thinking about it, I'm sure there's loads of players who played better in college, seeing as there's so many failures in the NFL who must have been good at some point to get picked.

Wasn't aware that Alstott was like that. I'm not calling him a failure, no, but being the best fullback in the NFL these days isn't really much of an achievement. There aren't many of them around.

I reckon Pele, Rocky Marciano or what about Tiger Woods?

i have one clip at school were he receves a dump pas as the qb gets hammered. he runs straight up the gut over atleast 7 peaple for mabey 5 yards

Hes in my all time favourite Simpsons episode.

Tiger Woods in my mind.

are you a docter BS? cause you just revived this Thread

How did you know??? Better keep my mouth shutp

But has anyone seen that episode???

Nope, whats it about?

Mr Burns can win a pennant(whatever that is/means) and has placed a million dollar bet to back The Power Plant Team to win. He cheats and hires top class professional players and Ken Griffey Jnr is one. There is an amazing song at the endo of the episode that I will never forget with all the players in it(Homer as well)
The players I remeber are
Steve Sax
Jose Cansaeco
Ozzie Smith
Darrly Strawberry
Don Mattingly
And another 4 or 5 players.

It is the best and funniest episode there is of the Simpsons.

Know any players killr
