The records still stand. nobody comes close.
seems like you could make a case for it.
he's past his prime, and still far better than anybody in a league full of specimens.

vince goodrums brother in law

Try Adrian Peterson.

not, and i've been to more OU games than you have.

that one handed catch was insane, the dude just glides across the field like he's skating on ice and comes down with anything within a 10 foot radius

probably faster than vick too.

Bo Jackson was the best pure athlete ever...

his juicing
6'4" 200 lbs maybe
i'm guessing he's at least on 5 g's of test a week to sustain that kind of mass

hahaha . . . are you trying to be funny?

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it... You don't have to agree.

You beat me too it, Moss doesn't come close!
-
great, the old guys are agreeing. ;D
What did Bo jackson do in football besides run over the boz?
And what did Bo jackson do in baseball that would make him better than a mickey mantle?

He ran up the side of a wall to catch a ball, stole more bases... add that to the football playing... let's not forget the guy was an All American and had he not gotten injured would be a lock for the hall of fame and would have broken every running record in existence until his retirement.
The guy was a beast... period... best pure athlete ever.

i demand my name be put on this list,even though i dont play many sports >:(

He's fucking kidding ? right?
Bo was amazing before he got hurt.
PS he got hurt on a 60 yard run ;)
-
bo got "hurt" b/c he was genetically inferior . . . how does someone who needs to have a hip replaced before they're 30 even have a prayer of being on a list of "pure athletes"?

because american football has the best athletes in the world ::) ::) ::) ::)
Two weeks ago Kevin Willians (Vikings)needed Iv and oxygen, after running 70 yards, he almost died
Average duration of an NFL game = 180 Minutes
Average amount of time for timeouts, halftime, huddles, reviews, etc = 165 Minutes
Average amount of actual game action in an NFL game = 15 Minutes.

Genetically inferior? Dude was tackled from behind... A horse collar type tackle which I believe is even illegal in the NFL today and even played baseball after the surgeries and everything.
-
Try Adrian Peterson.
You got that right. 295 yards today.

I'm old enough to have seen Bo play . . . and also old enough to remember that his injury was as serious as it was b/c there was something wrong w his femur naturally. if you're liable to lose a leg playing a sport, you can't be the best pure athlete in my book.
and plenty of people get horse-collared w/o having their goddam hip pop out.
and to the adrian peterson nuthuggers. I'm a huge fan . . . but the kid's still in his rookie season . . . and has a history of injuries.

No, no no....you cannot make that comparison to a reciever, Williams is a defensive tackle who weighs about 310lbs, he was NEVER conditioned for those kind of runs. Most linemen are only conditioned for about 10-15 yards at the most and are not cnditioned fo 70 yard runs....he's 310 for Gods sake!!
-
I think Bo was a great athlete, but i also think he juiced. His injury was to his hip, not the femur. Alot of speculation that it was steroid related.

pretty sure something was wrong w his femur and that led to the hip replacement. the coach probably knows but he's not telling.

This is the same type of tackle that broke Terrell Owens' leg... I guess he's genetically inferior too... as well as all of the other players who have been injured by it... Whatever you say dude.

That's just silly, it was a freak injury. You're going to hold it against him?
As far as him being the "best athlete ever" that's really a matter of opinion
-

you'd have a point if TO hadn't come back and had a career game in the goddam superbowl. ::)
think . . . it's good for you.

bo jackson was taken out by a torn Y ligament, which connects the femur to the hip. its a quite a rare tear but when it does happen you get retired like Bo did

that's what he had . . . it was a predisposing condition.

The cause of the injury is still the same... I think just fine... It's you who is refusing to connect the dots so to speak.
It just so happened that TOs injury wasn't to the same area as Bo's... it broke his leg differently... It could have easily been the same.

Avascular necrosis was the RESULT of his hip socket being torn, it's not congenital dummy

I think you could make a case for a Rugby guy or an Australian rules football guy, but for me... I still think they are probably in the NFL.
Running, throwing, catching... the whole bit... They just have to do so much.
I can't make any case for any rookie though... I still have to say the guy in the NFL is LT and I still don't think he's the best athlete of all time, but he is a damn good one.

What did Bo jackson do in football besides run over the boz?
And what did Bo jackson do in baseball that would make him better than a mickey mantle?
Yes, others ran over Bosworth and nobody will ever be Mickey Mantle, but you can count on one hand the number of athletes that were above-average in BOTH sports AT THE SAME TIME. And counting Bo above-average is a lowball, Christ he was an all-star in both sports, albeit for a limited time period. I will wait patiently for the next guy that comes along that can do what he did.

Absolutely correct. They're great in the violent world of the NFL, and they're incredibly tough, but they're not "the best athletes."
-
Yeah.. no.
Fuck basketball.
fuck YOU, basketball has some of the best all round athletes there is.

MICHAEL FUCKING JORDAN.. RING A BELL?

not even close. he sucked in baseball. he is great at basketball thats it. Bo Jackson was awesome. But you say best pure athlete which means they excel in anythng they did and Jim Thorpe would defintiely be up there. I think Deion Sanders is better than Randy Moss and he played two sports too but wasn't that good in baseball but okay. But he was awesome playing football. Bruce Jenner was very atheltic
-
the best athletes in the world are the nfl players...have to go with adrian peterson, he will probably suffer the same fate as bo jackson in which his body is capable of incredible displays of power but it wont be able to hold up to the damage it causes.

Secretariat

Secretariat
actually, I agree.

Secretariat
Secretariat couldn't hit a ball though and you would think at that height he could have at least dunked. Fast yes, but as an all round athlete not sure ;D

Secretariat,
16.2 hands
1200 lbs
sired 653 foals{damn,a player and a half :o}
set the track records at the Kentucky derby,the Preakness,and the world record at the Belmont stakes,while winning the triple crown.
coulda hit Tom Seavers fastball but his owners wouldn't let him.
Wilt Chamberlain retired in 73,why,scared to get dunked on by"Big Red"
Mercury Morris from the 73 Superbowl champion Dolphins based his running style on Secretariat!

I love ignorant people like you. This comments has nothing to do with the topic. You have to make racist post in every thread on here. Anyways I have to say Barry was better than Bo Jackson.

I don't like Basketball, what's the problem?
It got too ni99erized about 10 years ago, that's when I stopped watching. I used to love hoops, but It devolved into a bunch of hot-dogging dildos that want do nothing but slam and hang on the rim like an Orangutan.
PS when I say "Ni99er" I'm not talking about all black people. just the rude, disrespectful idiots. Y'know the kind of people that blast a guy in the side of the head when he's standing in line at McDonald's. I don't like people like that, and I could give a fuck whether you (shawn) or anyone else takes offense to the fact that I hate scumbags.

Football=the utlimate team game...Basketball= Full of pussies (or is it pussy's)

I love hockey, the core sport that is.
I think it takes a great amount of skill and athleticism to play the game and do it well... Certain players, like Cam Neely, Gretsky, Fedorov, Yserman, Lemieux, and so on are amazing... These are not the goons who get into fights, which, in my opinion bring the sport down.
The core sport is fantastic, but the fighting really does detract from the game to me.
Unfortunately, that is what the "casual" hockey fan is looking for.

I never caught the hockey bug, but I can appreciate that it must be really difficult to excel at.
The fighting is stupid. No other sport "allows" the players to fight during the course of a game. If you want to see a fight, watch a fight.

If NFL players had more stamina I would say yes, but a lot of them would not last 1 full half of play in a game like rugby etc, but on pure Physical speed and strength then yes I'd say they are, all depends on how you define it.......meh best or not I remember watching this little guy when I was a kid, and he played on one of the worst teams in the league as well, such a shame :P.

True, but he wasn't an athlete.
ath·lete (thlt)
n.
A person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility, and endurance, that are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts.
Not being a person shuts down the whole "best athlete" thing.
I used to drive by the farm where Secretariat was born in Caroline County, VA all of the time... Funny how you don't appreciate those kinds of things when you're young.
The place really is a landmark and I didn't even think about it back then.
