Oh, no doubt. I'm not denying his physical conditioning - dude walked in the desert for 40 years. But walking? Not a sport. Nor is talking to a bush. Nor making a staff turn into snakes. They might be games, but not sports. And the parting of the water - badass? Hell yeah. He's a better showman that David Copperfield, Kriss Angel and Doug Henning combined - but water parting is not a sport either. The closest I can give him is baby kayaking, but we're never told where he actually placed. He may have come in dead last for all we know - or, he may have set the goddamn Baby Kayacking World Record for fastest run down the Nile -we'll never know - but even then...c'mon? Baby Kayacking? That's barely a sport. And even if it is, I'll go home right now and throw my 4 week old in a kayack and send him down the Husdon, and if it takes all night we'll break that goddamn record, whatever it may be - I don't need no divine intervention, I got balsa wood - but does that make my month old kid the greatest sportsman ever? No way. No way. Get real. Come on.
Have there really been so few good Jewish athletes that you have to go back circa 5000 years to find one? Come on, man. Holding two cement slabs with rules written on them is technically not sport.
I was thinking of making a Canadian Football joke at this juncture but we all know that Canadian Footbal is a joke...
Is there a reason why most non-Americans are defensive about their sports? By defensive I mean, trying to take a shit on American sports any time this conversation comes up?
It's almost too difficult for me to comprehend the fail in this thread. cricket? really? you're gonna seriously compare a fucking cricket player to michael jeffrey jordan? nigga please.
America wins everytime
GAF, I love you man and appreciate the similarities we share on this site like Pearl Jam, REM and what not but I'm sorry I have to use your post as a negative example here...
LMP, you really think the attitude displayed in the above post won't piss off non-Americans? Either pretending that non-American sports are not valid or scoffing at world level legends in said sports.. or calling your national tournament as the world series. Oh dear! The explanation that foreign players also play in the so called world series is weak. America wins everytime though, doesn't it? It's not Mexico or Japan winning. So basically it's a national series.

In terms of totally dominating asportgame, only Phil Taylor can come close to the Don

This again? Are you aware of the history behind the name, why it was called that in the first place?
the original question will only lead to silliness because we're comparing different athletes playing completely different games in completely different eras. It's apples and bananas.
Greatest Sportsman of All Time?
Deez Nuts.
Close Thread.
Zoots, the great thing about sports, and comedy, is that even the great ones fail from time to time.
What about comedy in sports?

Enlighten me, o wise one. I'm all ears.
I have that Billy Ripkin card. Apparently, it's worth dick.
