while deion probably does not belong on the list, i think he deserves more credit than he gets around here...people forget how dominant he was because they just dislike him. damn- remember when he just walked down beebe on that breakaway kickoff return in atlanta?? and as far as a-holes are concerned, he can't hold a candle to TO. he was cocky as hell, but i never thought he was a bad guy personally. ok, maybe he shouldn't have doused mcgarver , but still...
and i am touched that edwin moses was mentioned above. it is true that he won 122 400h races in a row over TEN YEARS which is just astonishing. guys who don't play stick-and-ball sports never get taken seriously in discussions like these, but if there was one who ever should, it should be edwin moses.
