Tomlinson breaks TD mark

[dgack]

There are a number of basketball players I would add to that list, but most notably on mine would be Julius Erving.

Mario Lemieux
Babe Didrickson
Mark Spitz
Pete Sampras?
Michael Phelps?

I don't know if there's any one football player that fits in there yet. Some say Payton, Jim Brown, Rice, and then there's a slew of QBs one of which has to be Joe Montana. But Tomlinson could join the conversation someday.

OH MY GOD!!! You're KIDWELL!

That's one trade that rarely gets talked about in hindsight. Can anyone even make a case for the Falcons now??

Plus the Chargers basically got Drew Brees in that deal too

If he plays another 6 years he may be the greatest RB ever.

LOL

Top three people most likely to be the real Kidwell:

3) Matty (to set an example of what not to do around here)
2) Wewhite
1) Schneed (muhuwhahahaha)

I'm kidding, I'm not Kidwell.

I don't think it's going to take him six to erase all doubt, frankly.

I bet Alexander Ovechkin will rank on that list one day.

Who?

Don't forget Pele and Roger Federer

A hockey player for the Capitals. He was the rookie of the year last year. He's sick, but they need to make sure they get a good team around him.

YouTube - Ovechkin

Federer is great. I normally could care less about tennis but I'll watch on TV if he's playing, especially in the finals.

Oh well, I'm sure he would have been good -- tell him he should have been drafted in a place where people care about hockey. Like Fargo. Or Hoth.

I normally could care less about tennis unless the womens are playing. Since I got HD I also seem to be a lot more interested in the women's figure skating that I often get to watch in lieu of a second NFL game.

I'd have to put Spitz at the top of that list, with Phelps right behind him. Then all the other individual sportsmen, and then the team players.

You a swimmer?

Michael Phelps' older sister was a college teammate of mine. She was pretty good. And pretty damn hot.

And yeah, he earns his Citi reward points crazy fast.
