Jim Brown - Greatest football player of all time. Certainly had different experiences, from a racial context, than I have had so a beer and a chat might be enlightening.

Jim Thorpe - Along with being a great football player the greatest athlete of all time. Racial thing still applies. Pretty sure he knew how to drink.

Jared Allen - just seems like a fun guy.

I would argue Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete of all time.  But, to each his own.

I think these two are hands down the top two of all time. Jim Brown gets an honorable mention (HOF football and lacrosse player). This is just someone else's post I came across w a google search and I am assuming that it is completely accurate but it illustrates how insanely gifted these guys were:

"Bo Jackson

-set state records in 3 different events while in highschool track
-won the heisman
-dominated NCAA baseball & football
-ran an unofficial hand held time 40 in the combines 4.12
-1st round draft pick in the NFL
-1st round draft pick in the MLB
-played in post season play in both the NFL & MLB
-played in the AllStar game for the NFL & MLB
-played a year of minor league Basketball

Jim Thorpe

-dominated college track in the long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, javelin, pole vault, hurdles, long distance and short distance run events
-won intercollegiate ballroom dancing championship
-played RB, DB, kicker, & punter in college and lead his team to the college championship of that time
-dominated in the Olympics winning gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon (which includes multiple events including wrestling) all in the same day. Also played on the Olympic baseball team
- played on the National League Baseball team (two leagues at that time) and won the championship
- Played in MLB for the Giants, Reds, & Braves
-Played in the NFL (APFA at that time) and won the championship. Played in the NFL (when they did form) for 6 different teams
-Played for minor league basketball team
-has a college individual award named after him"

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
