I am going to have agree with you here. Bo Vincent Jackson was a freak!! He was on monster on the baseball diamonds and a beast on the football field. Too bad his career ended so prematurely with that injury.

I remember all of the "Bo-Knows" commercials. He was a huge star. It's funny that he isn't remembered as being as big a star as he was. He was all over the place in his prime. Great athlete.

Watched the clip and didn't notice what he had done until the slow motion replay. Pretty sweet!

Just guessing in that you have suggested Mike Tyson as great that you don't really follow boxing. Boxing is a sport obbsed with list making, pound for pound, divisional (wieght class), all time (weight class and over all). There are boxing books that are nothing but lists (greatest fighter, in weight class, greatest fight in weight class, greatest fight, any of these subdivisions in a particular time frame or weight class, greatest knock out, greatest decision, greatest Jew, Irish, Italiano, Mexican, Cuban ect.

Mike Tyson doesn't make some list makers top heavy weights of all time list. When Tyson does make the list it's because he popularized boxing in the time he was active. He is much like the Klitchko bothers are today, dominate, but not "great". Tyson would probably have been crippled by Ali, Fraser and 8-9 other guys who stood out as great heavy weights in their time.

You want to see greatness look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C84ZxM1txLA That being said, Tyson was an terrible force to be reckoned with in his day, but as far are skill goes couldn't be compared to Mayweather or Pacio today.

I know zilt about boxing, but Tyson over Ali? Why?

I'd give the baseball nod to Pujols. But obviously just for the hitting; there's no comparison between center field and first base.

Ted Williams, Jim Brown.. I could get on board with that. Not sure about Russell. Orr's a tough call only because Lindstrom exists.

You only threw in Jim Brown to not seemed overtly Boston biased.

First off, thanks for the mid-day Sweet Child O' Mine fix. -Awesome.

Secondly, that bicycle kick is sweet! Great video.

scrimetime, get in on this. What's your all time all-star line?

You can't watch that without getting a chill. That video is so awesome. Gretzky with the giveaway, Yzerman scoring, then flash to MacTavish on the bench, no helmet, looking like someone just raped his grandma. That was one of the best moments in Wings history, followed by the worst a week or two later.

Still, my favorite athlete award goes to #5.
