Most sports have too many players in action at a time. Especially soccer. Make the damn field smaller and play 7 per side and maybe the game would be watchable. Basketball would be bad arse 3-3.
The slam dunk contest should be replaced with a 1-1 tournament.
I really love the halftime basketball guys who jump on trampolines and do awesome dunks.
I like that the AL and NL differ on the DH. It makes it interesting.
Pro wrestling (52 weeks a year, sometimes 2-3 times per week for years straight) is harder on your body than MMA.
If NFL players want to play a violent game in order to do what they love and make millions they should be allowed to even if it shortens their life. Don't change the game they love. It is a trade off which most of them know they are doing and are willing to do. If they're not there's 10 guys willing to take their place.

If teams were really serious about winning in baseball or basketball in playoff games they should bring in goons (like real thugs possibly with military combat tactics) of the bench and cripple the best player on the other team/pitcher. I'm not talking about a hard foul, I'm talking about a sucker punch to the orbital socket or bone-breaking tactic. The player should be instructed to say nothing that would incriminate the team as having planned his attack.

Michael Wilbon is a fricking racist. No one will call him out because he's black

Yet most Super Bowl winners are HOFers or future HOFers.
35/49 times, a great QB is required to win the Super Bowl. Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett are borderline. Which would make it 38/49.
I'm not sure I'm following you here.
To the extent you're advancing an argument that it makes sense to use championships as a barometer for QB greatness, your retard card has been sent and should arrive in 5 business days.

I agree with him. Ali is the most overrated athlete of all time besides Babe Ruth.
Watch the fights from the 60s.
If anything he's underrated. He was so much better than his peers in the 60s it wasn't even fair. I can't think of another athlete who was as dominant in their sport as Ali was from '64-'67. And this time period includes Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson, who were great fighters, and a slew of other guys who were good fighters. Ali just toyed with them. Made them look awkward and silly. Rarely if ever took a direct shot in ten title defenses.
When he came back in the 70s he had lost a step , and he never regained it. That guy was overrated. But the guy from the 60s was not. 60s Ali was poetry in motion.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the five best pound-for-pound boxers in the history of the sport.

And I realize this is a safe thread, but that's one opinion I just had to comment on. The '64-'67 Ali is the one athlete that I'm just completely in awe of. I'm watching Ali/Chuvalo right now as I type this. No bullshite.

Apparently you need the retard card then. Teams usually don't win Super Bowls without HOF QBS. The stats don't lie.
Even though I miscounted the number of actual Super Bowls played.
quote:It really isn't. Otherwise, why are so many Super Bowls won by HOF QBs?
Assigning championships to QBs is just silly.

Ali may have been poetry, but Tyson was a rabid bull. He would have blitzed Ali and his tap-dancing shenanigans

Ali would have destroyed Tyson. He would have camped out in Tyson's head and wore him down.

This. Dribbling, crossovers, sneaky passes, blocking out with anticipation to where the rebound is going to bounce according to the projection of the shot, constant court awareness on the level of any QB, and a made 3-pointer is at least as impressive as the perfect long pass in football.

You're confusing correlation with causality.
