Jim Brown is the best football player.

Peter, Novak is awesome but too many of his majors are Australian Opens for me to put him over Federer or Nadal. Or Perhaps even Borg. I think in their primes Federer and Nadal were better. Close call though. McEnroe agrees with you and it's hard to argue against him on this.

Gretzky is The Great One but maybe in hockey the co-goat is Orr.

Same with Nadal and the French. I would not disagree strongly with Federer.

Interesting post, I'm sure it won't end up in (online only!) bloodshed:

1) Hockey- hard to argue the Great One
2) Baseball- hard to argue Babe
3) Soccer- I love me some Leo. There is real room for debate with Pele and
Maradona though.
4) Boxing- real room for debate. Ali is most popular. Joe Louis (look up the
accomplishments, wow). Marciano?
5) Hoops- I'll never go with Jordan, perhaps the most overhyped athlete in
my lifetime. Great player? Yes. Best ever? No.
6) Pro Football- don't care enough to weigh in. Jim Brown??
7) Golf- It's not Tiger. Jack all the way.
8) Tennis- LOTS of room for debate here, not well versed enough to know.

Let the insults begin

I had Rice too. Brady’s SB in Tampa sealed it for me though.

That would be
Pheidippides, no?
Or is there a spelling with "l"s?

I think they original Lynyrd Skynyrd would be on a lot of peoples top 10 (9) lists if Ronnie Van Zant and some of the other band members didn't die in the plane crash.
