OT: ESPN ranks most dominant athletes in the past 20 years

[mosi]

Not sure which is dumber: Peyton at 3 while Brady at 20, or a golfer being on a list of athletes.

100% agree.

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

because there seems to be no viable alternative...

Yikes!

...and he stumbles upon my key strategy for '20


As usual, you da man J

 

[captain stone]

Payaton Manning: the Four-Letter-Network's favorite non-black athlete.

If it's possible to go from Zero credibility to Negative credibility, they've just done it.

 

[captain stone]

This list is stupid, it omitted serena Williams the most dominant woman in tennis and who has won the most grand slams

Steroid & Testosterone Freak.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

ESPN remains a total joke. Almost as big a job me as abc’s prime time line up!

 

[ATippett56]

Peyton Manning ..... what a joke. Next man up ...........

[PaulNEPats]

Pedro should be #1. Most dominating pitcher I’ve ever seen. Simply amazing.

 

[Ross12]

ESPN: Well I mean Peyton is clearly better when you compare him against Brady in the most important categories.
Us: Such as?
ESPN: MVP, First Team All Pro, and throwing for more than 4 percent of the league’s TDs.
Us: But two of those are just things that a random group of reporters vote on annually, and the third is a completely arbitrary statistic that has zero value.
ESPN: Well, we think they’re the most valuable.
Us: Shouldn’t Super Bowl appearances/wins be the most important? Brady has been to 8 and won 5. Peyton has been to 4 and won 2.
ESPN: No we don’t count the playoffs
Us: ... But you counted the playoffs for LeBron, Tiger...
ESPN: *shrug*

And that about sums it up.

**** this is ******** ****

espn, enough said

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Peyton has been to 3 and won 2.

Uh, the fact is, his teams won the two. Not "him".

Unless we wish to elevate Jeff Hostetler, Mark Rypien, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson to HOF status.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

It’s simple. The list should have Tom Brady as in the top 5 and probably in top 3, but if that was the case, there would be no controversy - and hense, no clicks.

 

[Viper652]

Barry Bonds at only 17? Lulllzzzzzzzz.

But yeah Peyton at 3 and Brady at 20 is horseshit. 8 Superbowls, 5 rings and the greatest comeback in a Superbowl ever.

ESPN just needs to go away

 

[Viper652]

Nobody thinks Peyton is better than Brady now, nobody.

Except this crap

 

[Viper652]

The real top 3:

Tiger
Tom
Barry

 

[fxmallon]

Earlier this evening there was an ESPN discussion of the "controversy." Three of the four analysts (NFL, NBA, MLB) said they would reverse Brady and Manning. And a couple thought that Kobe Bryant should be up there. They also mocked the metric systems that supposedly came up with these choices.

ESPN only cares for ratings, hating the pats are the flavor of the month, sooner or later people are going to get bored and move on, more than they are now, ESPN might return to their roots for sports entertainment, but most sports fans will find a new love (or station )

 

[Deus Irae]

The real top 3:

Tiger
Tom
Barry

If you don't have Phelps and Bolt at the top of the list, you don't have a list worth anything but toilet paper. Everyone lines up behind them.

 

[Joker]

I like those Ultra-Ironman winners...I classify them as "alien" athletes

 

[lancerman]

Cowherd just did a response list

1. Mayweather
2. Bolt
3. Phelps
4. Sarena
5. Federer
6. Tiger
7. Lebron
8. Messi
9. Brady
10. Bonds

I like this list better

Nobody domimated in the fashion tiger woods did in the last 20 years
