How do you figure? Serena greatest female athlete of all time and it isn't close.
Venus top 10 female tennis player of all time. Both terrific people, both terrific longevity.

Woods can't touch Serena.

They're gorgeous - I am not attracted to black chicks at all and they're really pretty. Really great people as well.

Why is that a fair criticism? If you put LeBron next to Bird in his prime you'd see the same discrepancies.

I can remember when he was a real jerk.

I'd put Connors' mom right there with him though in developing a child.

I'm not trying to shite on it, but it'd be more surprising if they didn't turn out successful (other than injury like Coop).


Sweet! So Drew Brees' son will be a super bowl champ!


if your comment were true then more super bowl winners would be having kids winning superbowls... IF it were more surprising for them to not have been great then there would be a lot more cases like them, no?

Statistically, given there are far far fewer girls that take up tennis compared with boys that take up football, the odds of having two children at the top of their sport are significantly higher for the football duo.

Grammar Nazi here. It's dominant. Dominate is a verb. Dominant is an adjective.

Times were different back then. They played in the Niekro leagues coming up.

The Alou boys did OK as well. Jesus was amongst them.

Marv Marinovich was well on his way. But Todd fricked it up for him.

I watched the match last night. Wasn't Venus supposed to be better when they were younger?

Really enjoyed the match. These two girls are so competitive and respectful of each other. It's a joy to watch.

The real answer is Archie Manning. Raised two first round draft choices and Super Bowl MVPs. Not to mention his three are a class act. He did not push his boys and in fact made a conscious effort not to coach their teams.
