Played against Bo Jackson. He is the only football player I ever said "Holy Sh^t" about while playing against. The dude was FAST!

Loved watching Charlie Hustle as a youngster. Will always be one of my favorites.

The entire 1986 Astros were my heroes....

When it comes to football, I'm a big fan of WRs. Started with Steve Largent then Michael Irvin.

Hakeem Olajuwon

Mohamid Ali - who knows how good he could have been if he had not lost 3 years from his prime.
Michael Jordan - Best basketball player.
Roger Federer - best tennis player and perhap the best individual athlet I have ever seen.
Jerry Rice - receiver
Peyton Manning - set a new bar for how to play QB
Michael Phelps - swimming
Jon Jones - MMA
Tiger Woods - made athletic conditioning a requirement if you want to compete consistently at the top in golf
Usain Bolt - fastest human alive
Serena Williams - arguably the best women's tennis player ever

Bo Jackson was the most freakish athlete I've seen in my lifetime. The guy was 6'1"-230# and probably had a 40-time somewhere in the 4.2's. He could outrun anybody on the football field and he could also run over 250# linebackers..... or just jump over everyone. He could also send 95 mph fastballs 500+ feet in the opposite direction and hose runners at the plate from the warning track.

And...in an NFL game against Cincinnati a hard tackle dislocated his hip. It was said that he alone popped it back into place. Just crazy.

Bo holds the record for fastest 40 time ever at the NFL combine with a 4.12. Apparently a lot of people didn't believe it and he ran again later that week and ran a 4.18.

Source: I watched ESPN's 30 for 30, "You Don't Know Bo" last night.

Speaking of athletes.....Ed "Too Tall" Jones was on the radio this morning....here's a little known fact about him: He broke his ribs 14 times throughout his career, and he says Cliff "Captain Crash" Harris was responsible for 11 of those!!.....
