Agreed. The first word that came to my mind was "sandwich".

It really isn't excellent barometer for athleticism, because it is arbitrary in its scoring. The scoring changes over time. I think it use to be tied to relative performance against current world records in the events, but it still isn't that way. An arbitrary barometer is useful in...

Where does Bob Hayes, with an Olympic gold medal and a Super Bowl ring fit into (or confuse and extend) this discussion?

Can't buy this argument based on eras. It is like saying that Barack Obama is a better public speaker than Abraham Lincoln because of teleprompters or that JK Rowling is a better writer than William Faulkner because she sold more books. . Greatness lies in how you do within your generation...

June 12, 1970 when Doc Ellis pitched a no hitter on acid. May be the first time a performance enhancing drug actually enhanced a performance. Doc opened the door for the rest of baseball to try new and different drugs, including steroids.

Adolf Hitler, skier.

Chautauqua County in the house! Wild card berth at the minimum.

Crossover era: Also known as the "down low" area. A period of time when male athletes performed sexual acts with one another in order to relieve stress without the complications of having to cuddle and stay awake to talk afterward. Not to be confused with the "overt lesbian era" of 1875 to...

I am hopeful that special teams will win us at least two games this year. Keep the scouting reports coming.

Whoever thinks that dementia is funny is welcome to walk in my shoes for a day or two. Dealing with dementia in another for a period of time redefines your sense of self in ways that you can't imagine.

Your turn will come.

Just because you hit rock bottom doesn't mean that you can't continue to slowly roll downhill.

Anybody who remembers Randy Smith would have him on their top ten list. Tremendous soccer and track and field athlete as well as having a very good NBA career.

Ali. Go to his museum in Louisville and watch the films of his fights. He fought with the footwork of a featherweight and could match power with any heavyweight. With such phenomenal hand eye coordination, he could have been good at anything.

Has anybody seen Weaver kick yet? If so, what is the scouting report?

Watching Helms online, he has a very quick and accurate snap in the shotgun, very quick feet off the ball in either direction and stays low coming out of his stance. As an old center myself, I can say that he is fundamentally sound and if he is the best choice, he will do fine.

Reaffiliate with the Southern Baptist Convention and make Wake Forest football the equivalent of Notre Dame for Catholics. Recruit every Baptist minister in the ACC/SEC footprint with "walk around" donation money to explain to their biggest, fastest and meanest young men that the only way to...

Equating watching football practice with a child rapist is just wrong.
