Jordan was a great basketball player (probably the best ever), but if he was such a great athlete, why wasn't he a good baseball player?
Jim Brown, Jackie Robinson and Bob Gibson, among others all excelled in two or more sports.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot

He didn't tackle, period. He made the statement that he wasn't paid to tackle. Great coverage back, but seriously, doesn't that statement put "half-ass" in your thoughts?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He was a return man, played DB and WR and ran the ball a few times, he played baseball... Deion did it all. Stop hating, Sloww, just because you don't like a dude's personality. If we're shifting this in favor of multi-sport athletes, Deion is there."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I'm not shifting it. I don't think it's hating to say he refused to tackle, wasn't much of a baseball player but excelled as a cover CB.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Classic example: Tiger vs Jack. I think it'd be impossible to argue that Jack is more athletic than Tiger but I certainly think he's a better golfer, which either says something about golf, or the importance of athleticism in golf."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

I haven't read every post, so if I missed something, I apologize.
Are you talking about Tiger Woods as relates to Jack Nicklaus? That Jack kicks Tiger's ass.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
