    Rushed for 1,000 last year. I believe for the first time in his career.

    For me, college football is mandatory. I don't follow the NFL quite as religiously.

    No mention of Robert Griffin III?

    Michael Vick is more explosive and more elusive, and always has been. I like RGIII quite a bit, too. RG3 is taller, and beats Vick in the 200, but in shorter distances that matter on a footbal field, Vick is definitely faster...and, again, more explosive and elusive. I'm not sure who has the better arm.

    So, if we're looking for a nominee in the athletic QB department, I'm inclined to go with Vick. Over both RG3 AND Cam.

    I like RGIII as well, but will need to see him on Sundays. Think I'd take Cam over either, but wouldn't give any of them much consideration in the "best athlete in the world" debate.

    Good 60 minutes piece on Novak Djokovic. I figured this thread was as good a place as any. I'm a Rafa guy, but I can't say I dislike Novak. He seems like a decent guy. And I bet he gets whatever piece of Serbian [ussy pay] he so desires.

    Rafa is a sick athlete too, but I can't allow a nomination.

    Undertaker took Sweet Chin Music and a Pedigree back-to-back and kicked out. /thread

    20-0 speaks for itself. Triple H, HBK, Edge, Randy Orton, Ric Flair, Jake the Snake, and Kane are just a few that couldn't defeat the Deadman.

    Got into this discussion earlier with some guys in the library. They couldn't believe i even brought Messi into the conversation.

    I'd say Cristiano Ronaldo is a better athlete.

    Exactly how many great soccer players are named "Ronaldo"? Like 6?

    Here is how the people voted the best athletes in individual sports on an espn.com poll. Just an FYI, and certainly not meant for any sort of persuasive purposes, as I think it is full ruhtard to have Pacquiao ranked as a better athlete than Floyd Mayweather.

    1.Usain Bolt

    2.Novak Djokovic

    3.Michael Phelps

    4.Shaun White

    5.Manny Pacquiao

    6.Rafael Nadal

    7.Roger Federer

    8.Floyd Mayweather

    Wow. Three tennis guys in the top 7. Wouldn't have expected that.

    The poll was directed just to 'individual' sports, so it does kinda make sense.

    Ah, I see now. That makes sense. Figured it would be a glorified popularity contest with no recognition for tennis.
