YOU FUCKING HATERS SUCK

But not as much as anything connected to BC.

After the Music City Miracle, Flutie said "If I had plaYED, WE'D HAVE WON."

Really, shrimp? I wasn't aware you played on the KO team? Johnson drove them for the go ahead score at the end of the game.

Flutie's been a "Me first" guy his entire career.

Besides, he went to BC so he sucks by definition.

Default Now Back on Topic

Hard to argue with anyone on basketball and Hockey. Clearly MJ and #99 were the greatest ever at their sports.

And Wes hit the nail on the head with Football. Too many different jobs to pick one, but being an ex-LB myself, I'll cast my vote for Lawrence Taylor. I can't imagine how good he would've been had he been drug-free.

Now to baseball.

I must disagree on Ruth. Yes he could pitch and hit, but I can't pick him as the best ever for two reasons.

1) Offensively, he was a paradigm shift. Pitchers of his era had no clue how to handle a guy who could knock it out of the park on every swing. I can no more call Babe the greatest offensive baseball player based on his stats than I can call Wilt the greatest NBA player based on his.

2) More important, nobody pre-1947 can be considered the greatest since they competed against watered down talent. No hitter who never had to face Satchell Paige in his prime can be considered the best, no pitcher who never had to pitch to the fearsome Josh Gibson can be the best.

Thus my vote for the greatest MLB player is Willie Mays.

FY (lame ass) P


And I'm pretty sure if you were in his shoes, you'd have a bit of a chip on your shoulder too. The guy leaves college as the most prolific QB in history, and then has everybody not even letting him play up to his capabilities. Early on they would basically let him throw like 15 times a game on 3rd and long.?.? uh ha, THAT makes sense. They even tried to completely change the way he threw, again as if he just scrambled around for 4 years.

So thats all you got? One quote after a loss like that? After leading the team to a 10-5 record but gets replaced by the senile owner....

I'll take that shrimp over an arrogant know it all any day.

sigh

have a nice day
