Does anyone know his "40" time? Although I think that this may be the most ridiculous statistic to measure future success in the NFL, it does seem to hold a lot of weight with the numb nuts who make decisions on draft day. By the way, I know Draft Daddy is more openminded than most other...

I think it will be more of a mismatch than most people suspect. De La Hoya can handle those fighters that come right at him and stay in front of him.....Vargas, Mayorga, etc....but Mayweather will be almost impossible for De La Hoya to hit and should easily outpoint him. I agree with...

Great game for Morrison and I believe he can grow and eventually become a star in this league. However, I have to agree with what KG2422 (and others) have said on other threads with regard to comparisions to Larry Bird. Larry Bird was a once in a lifetime player and his unique...

Do not think it is insulting at all or an attempt to make these guys seem less athletic. Many sportswriters and sports historians have used the term "artist" to describe an athlete who is at the top of his game. I have heard both Joe Dimaggio and Sugar Ray Robinson described in such a...

That's an interesting observation, Bunnyman. We hear all the time about how you cannot really evaluate how good Babe Ruth was because a certain percentage of the population were not involved in baseball, so the same argument could be made in boxing. In addition to Eastern Europeans, Cuba had...

Hey, I am impressed to see an old timer like Harry Greb getting so many votes. Show's how knowledgeable people on this site really are. I would agree with Kaptain Poop regarding Willie Pep...simply the greatest defensive fighter ever who once won a round without even throwing a punch. As...

Still hard to believe that Crouch is not in the NFL. He truly was a remarkable athlete.

Been following Duddy for a while. Has good power and seems to be able to take a punch well, but needs to improve upon his defense, especially if it turns out that he is prone to getting cut. This was a step up for him though and a good win.

Hey, good point! But please do not criticize Norton. After all, his knockout at the hands of an over rated bum like Cooney in 54 seconds was due to Norton repeatedly slipping into the fists of Cooney and then, due to an unwise show of bravado simply to prove he could take a punch, sitting on the...

Wow. Could easily be a skit on SNL, but sadly these people are real. By the way, as an Irish American, I find this whole story offensive and demeaning to my people. To whom can I complain?:)

Apologies if this has been posted before, since it happened a while ago, but I have never seen anything like this in all of the years I have played/watched football... Aaron Brooks may be the only player in NFL history who threw a pass 30 yards BACKWARDS! Pretty hilarious...

Can't imagine how they can justify not including Crouch in this list. He won the Heisman, so it isn't as if he was flying under the radar.

Did anyone else see the 2006 scouting rpt on Kevin Curtis from ESPN? Check out the last sentence..... 2006 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 68 | Key Alert: None Comment: Shows good top-end speed when tracking the ball downfield, has the leaping ability to compete for jump balls and...

Rizzo, what is wrong with rooting for someone because you have something in common with him? Boxing, more so than any other sport is divided along ethnic/racial lines. When the sport was dominated by Irish, Italian and Jewish fighters, large groups of fans would come to the fight to support...

Have to wonder how Cooney would have turned out if he had signed with D'Amato instead of "the wacko twins" (which is what his promoters, Mike Jones and Dennis Rappaport were referred to as...)who severely mis-managed him and just went for the easy money.....

Don't buy the comparison between Carnera and Cooney. Carnera was controlled by organized crime and there is evidence to suggest that many of his fights were fixed. Although Cooney's handlers may have protected him from taking on the tough fights he needed to fight and over matched him...

I agree WS. Cooney did not have a overly muscled body...(he was 6'7 after all) but for someone with an "awkward, gangly, unathletic frame"....he was one of the hardest punchers in recent heavy weight history. Even Holmes admits that Cooney hit him harder in that fight than any other fighter...

Reddick has a back injury. I do not think anyone is suggesting that Reddick is on the level of Wade or Bryant....but it makes sense that the US team, given the recent performances in Int'l play could use more pure shooters.

This kid sounds like the real deal and could break through at corner at the next level, but as mentioned above, is currently projected as the 8th best safety (big surprise) in the class of 2007, according to ESPN.

Not saying that Reddick will make the olympic team, but one of the major reasons the US has done so poorly in Int'l play lately is a lack of outside shooters...and there are not many better pure shooters at any level than Reddick. Also, I know Wilbon from PTI is not very popular on this...

Hey Jimmy Chitwood....wasn't blowing up at YOU or suggesting you said it was genetic and pretty much agree with everything you said....and I think everyone is just commenting on the ridiculous length that this has been taken to by the powers that be to explain the complete lack of white DB's in...

I agree. If in fact, we are measuring the ability to change directions quickly without losing speed, then it should be called exactly that.....not some BS term like "hip fluidity" which implies a genetic advantage given to one particular race of people over another. I also believe that this...

I have played and watched sports all my life....mainly football and basketball......and still have no clue as to what "hip fluidity" really is supposed to mean, what relevance it has in being able to play any position in any sport or how one could even measure such a thing.....

"June 28 Look like the old lady tried to attack him, or she said a racial slur that set him off. Thats what I saw." Is this an actual quote!? What possible provocation could warrant what this scumbag did? This video made me sick.

People may be making a distinction between "best" and "most valuable." Hard to argue that Nash is not the MVP, but Wade probably would beat him one on one. As stupid as that thinking is.....
