I actually would agree with most of yours. I feel like if you're going to differentiate position players from pitchers for baseball you should also separate offense from defense in football, and I would go with Jerry Rice and Reggie White

Not trying to neg you specifically, and I get that Owens was an icon and am American hero, but don't see how anyone can say Bolt isn't the greatest track athlete ever.
