The list is about the greatest athlete, not the greatest athlete on great teams. The dude did things on the field that have never been seen before. He did things no other back could. I think that puts him on the list easily.

Such great research that they misspelled Joe Greene's name three times in one paragraph.

#45 Bog Gibson?

Who proofreads this? Helen Keller?

Oh, and #33 should be Honus Wagner.

Wagner never wore a number when he played.

I am shocked to no see an HM to Sebastian Vettel or Michael Shumacher.

If #95 isn't Morozov it's a bunk list.

True. He wore it as a coach. And that is the number the Pirates retired.

People who think Europeans can't be rednecks are either Republican presidential candidates or have never been anywhere near Europe.

Europe... nothing but a bunch of aging boomers on the govt teet and two generations of chavs they left behind.



Oh and a blossoming population of Muslim immigrants seeking a new life. I read the other day almost 1-in-3 births in central and N. Europe, is from Muslim parents. National bankruptcies + cultural clashes = primetime television. Will be interesting to see if Europe can make it a real melting pot with 1 rule of law for all.
