1. Eldrick
2. LeBron Jayne
3. P. Manning
4. J. Johnson (NECKCAR)
5. R. Federerer
6. A. Sorenstam (look at the animated pic of her) bwaaa...
7. M. Schumacher (vroom vroom)
8. F. Mayweather
9. Marta (one name basis, you know her, right?)
10. U. Bolt
11. L. Messy
12. Steven Williams
13. L. Jackson (who??)
14. C. Ronaldo (oh goodie!)
15. N. Djokovic (travesty)
16. A. Felix
17. B. Bonds (roid)
18. M. Trout
19. M. Pacquiao (hmmmm...)
20. T. Brady (20th? LOL)




Djokovic instead of Nadal?
Ridiculous

Nadal has 16 majors to Djok's 12 -- including 10 freaking French Opens!
Nadal leads Federer (greatest of this generation) 23-15 head-to-head


M. Phelps?
Where is he?

I would have Bolt much higher. When he was in the race everyone else knew they were running for 2nd place.

I agree.
Bolt is ahead of Manning, for sure -- and Manning should not be #3.

Bolt might be top 5.

Yes, Phelps should definitely be on the list and near the top. Also, Bolt belongs at #1, but ESPN has their collective heads so far up Lebron and Tigger’s ass, it’s pathetic.

Also, they left Randy Moss off the list. Not sure why.

Phelps absence from this list shows the author didn't do his homework.

He is arguably number 1.

Eldrick's collapse when he really should have had a few more years in his prime, drops him from the top spot, IMO. If he can make a Jack Nicklaus like revival in his 40s, then maybe he gets back to the one spot.

That's right.




Peter Keating, do your homework next time!

Jack Nicklaus did not have some huge revival in his 40's. Jack turned 40 years old in 1980. He won 2 tournaments that year (both were majors. the US open and the PGA). He won 3 more tournaments on the PGA tour. Period. One of those 3 was the 1986 Masters at age 46. In his 40's, Jack played about 13 events per year. That's probably not going to get you to #1.

Track & field, Swimming, Tennis, Neckcar and there stars will always be also rans in America. Football is king of the hill, or at least was the last 20 years, hence the reason Bolt is listed where he is.

Phelps competed every four years which is not enough for anyone to care. Heck hotdog eating Champs get more pub.

You understand that water stays wet longer than just every four years, right?

Well holy shit, Goobs nailed a golf take.

Tiger needs to play in his 40s like Vijay played in his 40s. If he can stay healthy and straighten out his driver, he has a chance.

So, he won 3 majors, came close a few other times? I’d call that a pretty good run. Revival may be the wrong word in that he didn’t have the collapse Eldrick did. Would it be fair to characterize the next 6 years as a revival, if he has the same level of success that Jack did at that age?

Did Phelps sit around and get high and eat Doritos between Olympics?

Well, of course he did. He also competed and dominated at the International level throughout.

I put him above Bolt because he did it in numerous event. If Bolt had won the 100, 200, 400, pole vault and javelin throw, I would put him with Phelps.

Huge ifs.

BTW, I have enjoyed the Caliblanasian collapse as much as the next haytah, but it would be fun to see him come back and make a run at the Golden Bear’s major count, because it would generate some interest in the game.

I doubt it will happen though. Today’s game, partly due to him, requires the ability to hit the ball ridiculous distances accurately. It has become more of a young man’s game. But Watson damn near pulled off The Open at nearly Goobs age, so who knows.

Tiger is already 42. If he has a "revival" comparable to Jack's, he'll win two more tournaments, one of them a major. Just shut up.
