lopernv Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Alright. In a few years , 14 year-old Freddy Adu will be the best athlete ever. Why is Pele, Gretzkey and Orr not on this list?Orr and Gretzky were far better than Mr.HockeyI mean, come one, where is Pele. He is probably the greatest athlete that ever lived.

CC97 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 After reading the article AND all the posts, I'm pretty sure this applies to greatest all-round athlete, not athlete per sport.Read, read, read. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanigirl76 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 while golf and baseball are both hard, at least you get a -turn- to perform, and all the time you want to do it in. I'm a soccer player, and in soccer, you have to run a full 90 minutes, and you have to go FIND any action you want. I'm not saying it is THE hardest, but it is none too easy.

Joshawaggie Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 bs, you must suck at golf or something. I've played baseball, it wasn't easy at all. I've also played golf, i find that easier to play. That is just my opinion, and I know what you said is probably right because thats what you think anyways, so take it or leave it. And I don't really care if you get pissed at me right now because i'm at the point where i really dont care, i dont. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I'm pitching support for Bobby Orr. Few players have revolutionized a position the way Bobby Orr did. He created the notion of an offensive defenceman, a generation before Gretzky stpped onto the ice, he was getting Gretzky-like numbers. as a bonus in my books, when he ended his career in Chicago, he gave them back their money because he wasn't playing up the level that they played for. Classy. I have nothing against any of the guys in this list (and many that are not) I just feel Orr contributed more to his position and sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Darn where are the darts players? Beer bellies & all (okay not on all of them) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you really dont care what my opinion is, how do you know that anyone on this board cares what yours is. You need to lighten up a bit when it comes to opinions.

Lee. Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I nullified my vote in protest that Ernie McCracken was not included in the list.Also...Lou Gehrig with no votes? Strange. Makes you think though...he contracted a disease that bore his name...you'd think he'd have taken any precautions possible...

And if you really dont care what my opinion is, how do you know that anyone on this board cares what yours is. I threw the "high horse" in there because you act like as if I should care what you think about me. Even when you weren't addressed in this topic in the first place. I realize other people have their own opinions and I have mine, we all do! It's their choice whether they care about mine or not. If you don't care then stop addressing me!You need to lighten up a bit when it comes to opinions. Almost every topic you start is opinion based, you make your opinion, and then freak out on people when they have a different opinion. If you cant take hearing other than what you wanna hear, stop posting.I'm surprised that you didn't know this but forums do consist of arguments here and there. I may seem stupid at times, I know this and sometimes I may agree with all of you on that matter but at the end of the day I can still take a step back and take everyone's opinions into consideration. Just because there's arguments involved here and there doesn't mean that I think other people are "wrong". I value what others have to say and if some of you don't realize that then let me take this opportunity to apologize once again. We all have our different opinions and I'm taking the necessary steps so we can all coexist. Now once again, if you have a personal problem with me Josh then take it up with me personally! Posting it on this board is a waste of space.
