I don't think NWS is his place. He'd be much better suited for TNA.

Numbers would be best suited for ANY spot.

Numbers would be best suited for ANY spot.

I suppose, anyone can have any section really, but I've always been really big on people "fitting" in their respective sections.

Put it this way: I'd be happy with any of the three finalists winning. I think they would all make great mods. But I'm pulling for my rookie because he'd be able to take that music section and fill it with steroids and glorious soundscapes.

Deion Sanders and Jackie Robinson definitely don't deserve to be brought up. Sanders isn't even the greatest football player of all-time, and there's an argument if he is the greatest defensive player. Robinson could be a contender for most important athlete, but he's not in there for greatest either.

Deion is arguably the best defensive back in NFL history and one of the few players who played professionally in two of the 4 major sports. Deion could have been a multiple time all star in baseball had he focused solely on that.

Jackie Robinson lettered in 4 sports at UCLA. He was the starting point guard and led the Pac 10 in scoring twice. He also was an all american running back and an NCAA champion long jumper. Wasn't too shabby of a baseball player either.

Both are certainly deserving of consideration. Nice try though.

 

[Blue Chipper]

Ok, disregard this post.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Jackie Robinson does; his influence is nearly second-to-none for sports figures. He was the first major professional African-American athlete.

I don't know who I'm rooting for. I'm leaning towards Blue.

How about Fritz Pollard in the 1920s?

How about Fritz Pollard in the 1920s?

I don't know who he is, but I know that Jackie Robinson provided the groundwork for future African-American stars. Before Jackie, the fans were deeply racist, and after they witnessed how truly great of a baseball player he was, they began to accept him, and African Americans as sports stars. That's the consensus anyway.

Dave Winfield deserves a mention as well. He was obviously a tremendous baseball player but he also was very good at basketball. He drafted by the Hawks in the NBA and was also drafted in the ABA. Even the Vikings picked him in the 17th round of the NFL draft and Winfield didn't play college football. He's one of three players to ever be drafted in 3 major sports.

My pick is

Spoiler

Muhammad Ali

I'll be getting started on this tonight.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Numbers has chosen Muhammad Ali.

Blue Cardinal has chosen Babe Ruth.

SSC is the only one remaining who needs to make a pick.

Since he's the last one to choose, I am going to go ahead and open up the thread. Good luck, everyone. By this time next week, the NWS's will have a new moderator.

 

[D-Man]

This should be good...

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

This is a tough choice, I expected at least one of my choices to be taken, but that was not the case. So I'll think it over and and get back to you guys.

 

[Big Sexy]

It's all one sport guys being picked. It's easy to argue against guys like that with athletes who were arguably the best at their own sport plus could have/did succeed at others as well.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

This was tough, with so many great athletes remaining, but I've reached my decision.

Michael Jordan for those who don't know.

 

[a0161613]

These were the options I was considering.

Federer
M Schumacher
Lance Armstrong
Phelps

Plenty of options this time around.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

Armstrong
Thorpe
Prime Time

I was debating these as well.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

I never had a doubt in my mind who I was going to pick.

 

[a0161613]

So I am going to bed but I thought I would put a post up before I went. It's not my best and kinda irrelevant with amount of posts that have gone up since I started but I will be back with full force tomorrow to look at the posts that have come up since then.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Damn looking back through this there were some heavy hitters that got eliminated. Props to Doc for calling SSC his dark horse.

 

[Ferbian]

Gotta give it to you guys, you've really pushed for this round. 5 pages already on it's first day.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

This is the first time I've posted in the entire contest, and I must say that I enjoyed doing it.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Well I typed up a response to the tag team of SSC and Big Sexy, and after an hour of typing, I lost it.

 

[DirtyJosé]

I fucking hate that.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

I'm livid.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

That shit blows, I feel your pain brotha!!!! Same thing happened to me with Deej during the videogame round, I had to smoke a phatty and resume that debate later.
