SECRETARIAT . . . best pure athlete ever.

[Condor]

great, the old guys are agreeing. 

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.

My point is, that, American football players ,are not the best athletes in the world ,they are the best at playing football,but far from  best athletes

Absolutely correct. They're great in the violent world of the NFL, and they're incredibly tough, but they're not "the best athletes."

[JOHN MATRIX]

Yeah.. no.
Fuck basketball.

fuck YOU, basketball has some of the best all round athletes there is.

[Shockwave]

fuck YOU, basketball has some of the best all round athletes there is.

And?
Fuck basketball.
They're are plenty of other options were I can see motherfuckers try and out do each other all game.
Showoffs without teamwork.
Wow.

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

[thepeg]

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

[Al-Gebra]

Secretariat

actually, I agree.

[onlyme]

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

Secretariat,
16.2 hands
1200 lbs
sired 653 foals{damn,a player and a half }
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!

Basketball is for ni99ers  and people that want to be ni99ers.

One of these fuckung convicts comes out with a new SHOE and every ni99er and wigger stands on line for hours  to pay $180 for a $10 sneaker.  These people deserve each other

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.

As a pure athlete?

Did Barry play baseball and not tell me?

No one authorized you to define "best pure athlete" as "two sport athlete (above average)."

No, but I'm defining it in the way I see fit.

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.
