Ty Cobb was great (as a player, certainly not as a human being), but Josh Gibson was just as great an athlete, and probably was better.

Shouldn't you explain what a book is? Tell 'em they can find out all about them on Google.

The Psycho already has one of those.

Good choice. Bubka was also pretty fast (ran in the 100 somewhere in the low to mid 10s, I think).

In order to win in the playoffs, Manning will need for his guys to show up. Every year, guys like Harrison disappear in the big games and every year, Manning is blamed. Maybe if they spend more time getting open rather than bitching about the way the defense is playing them, they'll get to a Super Bowl.

That's what I always love about fantasy drafts: people who go RB crazy. Last year, in one of my Yahoo! league, it allowed me to draft Randy Moss in the first (as I had the 7th pick and most of the top RBs were taken) and then take Manning in the 2nd round. I decided to go after top point scorers instead of just drafting RBs for the sake of drafting RBs. So what happened? I ended up getting some RBs late that weren't the best stat guys: Emmitt Smith, who contributed about 900 yards and 9 TDs for me, and some other broken down guy, Curtis Martin, who led the league in rushing. I also picked up Nick Goings during the season. By doing so, my team finished in 1st place. This was draft a mock draft; not one to stock a team. If it were, I'd love my chances w/ a team that has this many top scorers on it.

Offering your expert ANALysis, sir?

Chris, you will be in our prayers. I sure hope to see you this year @ the opener. If all goes well, maybe we both can get through this one w/out any medical care. No hernias, no sprained knees (damn fence!), and, most importantly, no cancer!! God bless you.

Well...........I guess we could throw Daley Thompson into the argument...

Great jersey though.

Wow gant. Is that list including athletes who performed before the 1980s? Just curious.

Thanks for updating me. I didn't realize Griese and Csonka were in the Hall. I also heard a rumor that Warfield is there as well, but I just can't see that being true. Sorry your respect for me has fallen so low. It probably shouldn't have been higher than that in the first place, as I know nothing about the game. I never use sarcasm well, especially over the internet. Man, I'm really sorry.

He should be preparing to go to Owings Mills for camp soon.

While Big Russ is the first person I'd put on my all-time starting 5 (along w/ Magic, Jordan, Bird, and Dr. J), I wouldn't mention him w/ the 10 athletes I stated earlier. Chamberlain was the only basketball player I put down, just because he was an incredible athlete as well as a great basketball player. Russ was a legendary basketball player and the greatest winner of all time (11 titles in 13 seasons; not ever Jordan can top that!), he isn't as great an athlete as Wilt.

Tough call. Here's a few names I'd put out there for consideration: Wilt Chamberlain Bob Mathias Jim Thorpe Babe Didrickson-Zaharias Muhammad Ali Jim Brown Jesse Owens Carl Lewis Lance Armstrong Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Yeah, but those guys sucked. None of them ever won anything, nor did they make the pro football Hall of Fame.

I don't know for sure, but I'd guess MarkyMannn's response is correct. My tickets arrived Friday, but were deposited in the mail slot, so they were there when I got home. I'm sure if the package couldn't be put in the mail slot, I would've had to go pick them up @ the post office also. Where's your seats? Mine are in Section 123, Row 11, Seats 4&5.

Not bad @ all. I like the Cadillac Williams pick. In some mock drafts I've participated in (on Antsports.com), I've taken him almost every time. Another rookie I'll be targeting is WR Mark Clayton of Baltimore. Receivers look very strong also; Coles could surprise some people this year. Your QBs are effective, and Collins can only be helped by the arrival of Randy Moss (nice QB-WR tandem you have; maybe they'll hook you up w/ double points often). I probably would've gone after Trent Green before Bulger, but maybe he was already taken by that time. Good defenses; the Falcons should be better w/ a year in Mora's system, so that bodes well for you.

Soon, good people. Soon.

So there's no dispute, here's the levels: Poster Not To Be Judged: 5,865 or below Post Whores (fair game to be judged): Beyond 5,865 Enjoy.

I moved our keeper league to Fanball this year, so I guess I'll find out how good or bad it is too. It was recommended by a couple of people and it does give you more control over the setup of your league, so that's a good thing.

Best wishes for a lightning quick recovery!

Yes!! Just 7 weeks from now, I'll be driving up to Rochester to meet the gang @ Nick Tahou's!!

51 Days And Counting!!!!!!

I'm still interested in making a trade; any takers?
