I'm not making any qualifications based on playing two sports. I was just responding to your assertion that Ruth wasn't a great athlete because he was fat. Ruth is the greatest sports figure in American history for at least the first 60 years of that century. His impact on baseball was so big. He was a titan . On top of that he was great at two different positions.

Brady is a relentless worker who basically willed his way to the top because of his work ethic. I'm not denying his greatness but a great athletic figure? Hell no. Guy can't run away from anyone. Qb is one position albeit the most important. Ruth played the most important position in baseball ( pitcher and did it at an incredible level) and he played another position. The only other position Brady might have been able to play is placeholder.

Again, that makes no sense. Who cares who he can run away from. He's the most accomplished QB of all time. And I also don't care that Babe Ruth was fat and probably could barely run to 2B. He belongs on the list and so does Brady. Multiple positions is irrelevant.

You forgot Nowitzki.

I don't want to keep arguing with you because you are a lawyer. How could you say that multiple positions is irrelevant? That takes great athletic ability that's why very few can master that.

Nowitzki was a badass, but I can't put him with Jordan, Kobe, Bird, Magic and Russel.

Sean Avery

NHL created "The Sean Avery Rule." The rule makes it illegal for a player to stand in front of a goalie and wave his or her stick in the netminder's face. The NHL announced that henceforth such behavior would result in a two-minute penalty.
