Which football player past or present, would you want to grab a beer with?

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

    • We don't have to tear down Dak to appreciate what Bryce did yesterday. Dak had 0 running game. If the cowboys were better, he'd be a legit MVP candidate if he keeps playing this way.  They did it with Ceedee last year, but they do a better job of anybody we play consistently of getting their best receiver off Jaycee.  Bryce was good too. If we just catch the ball that was intercepted, we probably win by 7+, and Bryce goes over 200 yards passing.  Biggest shift the last few weeks has been play calling. I thought Canales abandoned the run game way to early at times last year. This year he really seems to be sticking with it.  I still think Chuba is better at making 4 yards when there's nothing there, but Rico is better at making 30 yards when there's 6 there. I like the direction. Hopefully we can get Moton, Sanders and Coker back and really be dangerous. Our play action game is pretty deadly right now.  Unrelated: My favorite quality about Bryce right now is his ability to see the defensive hold and throw the ball there. He EXPOSES the officials when they don't call it. That one on Tetaroia yesterday late in the game was a bad miss on their part. 
    • That sacks allowed number lookin juicy!  
    • This is a game the Panthers should win... just the sort of game they lose. The Panthers have a bad habit that goes back years of playing down to the competition's level only to mess around and lose the game. The Jets game should be taken very seriously! But I want to enjoy the fact that they beat the Cowboys for at least another day or so!
