Athlete to me more means raw skills and when Bo Jackson played football he was not an above average football player. He was one of the best RBs in the game. He did share time with Marcus Allen who was probably top 5 so his stats wouldn’t look as good as if he was the sole back. Plus he only played starting the 6 or 7th week so that meant not training camp so in reality you have to think he wasn’t at full speed probably until his 8th game. Football shape is much different then baseball shape.

If he would of focused on one sport, he probably wouldn’t of had the injury problems and probably would of hit 40 homers many times or rushed for 2000 yds many times but to be able to do what he did makes him a top 5 athlete. I am sure Babe Ruth could have probably played football and we already know Thorpe could play everything. MJ could hit .250 in the minors. Ha.

If you or your team can’t win championships, then other people/teams are better than you. With that being said, Bo Jackson didn’t win championships and he was extremely injury prone. Average baseball career + above average football career does not equal one of the greatest athletes of all-time.

I saw that guy do some unbelievable stuff when he played here in KC. Also would of made the HOF in both baseball and football if he didn’t get hurt. I saw him throw a guy out at home plate with a foot against the wall on a line all the way got him standing up. List is bunk without Bo.

LeBron has to win a title before he gets consideration, and despite the fact that Ryan could throw the ball harder than anyone, his career numbers aren’t that great (overall pitching record: 324-292).

These are just a few, but the list is good.

Jordan’s smarts and dedication elevated his game but what Jim Thorpe and Babe Ruth did compared to their competition was ridiculous.

No Bo Jackson? He is probably top 10. Deion Sanders is probably somewhere in the top 50. Probably the best 2 sport athletes of the modern era.

That is high acclaim for Montana. I am a huge fan but I don’t think I would have him that high.

The 2 that I am worried about is how are we going to fit that bracket on one piece of paper and 32 teams playing on Thursday and Friday. Those are really my 2 favorite days.

Your K-State pick isn’t looking good right now as they trail by 10 with 11 minutes to go.

You missed their talent by a moonshot. I guess I get to see it first hand here in the midwest as I saw KU,KSU play them. Attending the games this year I really got a feel for how tough they were and the skill level that team had. Only other thing I have to say is that KSU isn’t going home no way Butler won’t be able to keep up with the speed and pressure defense today Cats win and move on to the final four.74-67

I see Syracuse getting to the finals now based on the way their playing.

I have Baylor going to the final four in most of my brackets. A&M is definitely on a roll and looking very good. Cornell is also a solid pick as they look comfortable and very ready to continue the winning success. How far do you have my K-state Wildcats going in your brackets??? I so want to see them get to face Huggins in the championship. I know it’s a huge wish but I would be thrilled to death to take it away from him directly after jetting from KSU. However if he wasn’t such an ass we wouldn’t be where we are with Frank Martin right now so I do thank him for that.
