I actually agree with this one.

I could be wrong but it feels like while everyone gives him just due as the best hitter in the game today, his place as one of the best hitters ever may be undervalued.

He's a for sure top 15 qb and you're acting like he is absolute garbage. You're making the OP's point for him

Your not going to see many players who are considered greatest who didn't have longevity in baseball. Koufax maybe only one to make that claim.

Ruth- 20 seasons
Hank - 23 seasons

But you get my point, baseball is about longevity and even without he has been top 3 baseball over 10 years

re you serious???? ESPN drools over the Cowboys every pre-season, Saying they are the most talented team in the East. But as usual with ROMO at the helm, they fail. He is a decent QB but not elite........

K, they drool over the Jets too but that doesn't mean they think Mark Sanchez is elite. ESPN hasn't tried to claim Romo as elite for a few years now

That's a flat out lie. Stopped there. Another homo for Romo article and rant.



No it isn't. The Falcons get blamed for the Falcons, not Ryan. Romo gets blamed for the Cowboys and Jerry Jones' GM inabilities. The degree Matt Ryan gets blamed in no way compares to Romo.

Really though, how many times does the media talk about the Falcons failing to get it done compared to Ryan failing to get it done? Add both of them together and it still doesn't equal the Romo criticism.

Cam is a great one. His production in the NFL has been astounding.

All true. I just get annoyed when people claim that it's the media's fault that he isn't given a chance to start. It's not fair to him that the ESPN fuels the hatred by constantly talking about him but it's also not fair to say that's the only reason he's not playing
