@Gomer - Yes a very marginal athlete unable to make it on the LPGA but still might be ranked the Greatest FEMALE Athlete of ALL Time because she looks GOOD

@Cooposo - I don’t doubt what you say and you appear to have been an Above Average Athlete yourself. Considering the strength, endurance, & toughness required to be a TOP Rugby player —- why don’t most of these guys tryout for the NFL, play a more “glamorous” Pro Sport, get paid the Big $$, and...

@Gomer, that (3x harder?) seems like a very arbitrary number and regardless it’s an “estimate”. Even if correct, it’s only because Football players wear heavy padded equipment and Helmets - Not because players in the NFL are stronger or tougher. Some recent comments on how to prevent serious...

@Killingtime - that was one Funny video and liked the guy with his shorts Up-to-his-armpits….he had to be over 80 just to be able to wear his shorts that HIGH. I didn’t see any real tackles but did see old guys pushing & Falling down so giving You the benefit of doubt…AND they actually Got back...

@Killingtime - 86 yr olds Break ribs “coughing” or sitting on the toilet. But, just “moving” helps people at any age and the more the better

@Killingtime - didn’t see one 80 or even 70 yr old “running” and audio mention the older ones play “touch”———still nice to see older men doing any Sport but hardly real “Rugby”

@Killingtime - that must be exciting (compared to Soccer), 80 year olds “running” to the toilet and being just “seconds too late”, redefining the term “scrum” and where a Yellow Card means someone “pee’d themselves”

@Altitude sickness - do you mean Most Difficult “to watch”? I would place Soccer #1) as it’s tough to stay awake even though they are great athletes….PLEASE somebody score - even if you need to use your HANDS ——please put something in the net !! Hockey is also low scoring but at least they...

@skydiver386 - I have to agree with You, and I use to love watching Basketball —Big Knicks fan as a young kid in the 1970s. But Now I can’t watch a game: between the 6 steps between dribbles, constant Dunks & mugging-for-the-camera…. Even though the athletes are incredibly well conditioned and...

@Altitude sickness - Not fair, Basketball Players don’t wear a Helmet & Seatbelt YET…But, now that they No Longer “Dribble the ball” (except every 8 to 10 steps) maybe they need a Helmet?

@Altitude sickness - with all the focus on MLB I would have to list JOE DiMAGIO as the Greatest Player ever and ahead of other “Greats” like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays. ALL these men were Complete & All-around-players they were Gold Gloves on defense, hit over .300 average...

@RR314 - Bo had unmatched speed for a man over 200lbs but few believe he ever ran a 4.13 for the 40 yrd dash and the fact it’s ‘Hand Timed’ AND Refered to as “UNofficial” makes it tough for me to believe it. In NCAA track meets @ 100 meters where times were electronically captured and...

@Killingtime - I have enjoyed the opinions on this thread and even the “stretch” to keep adding different categories and accomplishments normally Not associated with athletics. Is every impressive accomplishment Now considered “Athletic”? All fitness does not require athletic skill - a...

@saswart - Wow now a “Chess Player” mentioned for Greatest Athelete? Maybe we can mention some of the Checker Players next, or Women's Knitting ? Tiger Woods is a JOKE - he can’t even keep his Car on the road…

@Wooster - sounds like those latches were tampered with (opened) and water “deliberately” added to your case. I had an AmericaCase damaged years ago on a flight from Newark to Denver. My case was a top-of-the-line Americase double rifle case, with strong composit sides and the rest aluminum...
