Who is your all time favorite Athlete any sport

[Wildcat81]

Rodger Staubach Dallas QB 1969 to 1979

[sinton66]

Just reading the header on your topic, my first thought was also of Staubach.

[Sans Couth]

My favorite all time athlete in any sport, was that guy who used to hang off of the back of the pickup truck on Wide World of Sports and when the truck got going real fast down the straight a way, he would ease down and slide on his ass down the main stretch for about half a mile doing over 100mph on his backside.

That friends, was pure quality entertainment.:p

[Chris Hart]

Troy Aikman, he was a great QB and you never hd to worry about him embarrasing the Cowboys' orginization! Such a classy guy, I will always be glad he was a Cowboy. (not to mention the 3 rings):)

Tie - Charlie Waters and Drew Pearson - Dallas Cowboys!!

Staubach because he spoke at my football banquet in 1972 and he was (is) a great person.

But the BEST athlete that I ever saw was Bo Jackson. I watched him play in Kansas City several times and he was just amazing. And the time that he knocked Brian Bosworth into the next year may have been one of the greatest licks delevered by a running back ever.

[CatWoman]

Oh wow, I forgot Nolan Ryan!!! I have too many.

[FbCoachB]

The man who was always told that he was too small and too slow to make it in the NFL, and became the first special teams all-pro. He played 15 yrs inthe NFL-------BILL BATES #40

Lance Armstrong

[Phil C]

There are so many.

I like Staubach as much for what he did off the field as on. He served his country first, then took the Dallas Cowboys to their greatest level. Of course he had a little help from Tom Landry and
an excellant bunch of team mates. You can tell we are primarily football fans on this board because we seem to pick football players.

Baseball...... Kirk Gibson, played with heart, hustle, and attitude.

Football.... several... as a kid I loved watching Jack Youngblood,
Jack Lambert, Robert Newhouse, Tony "The Thrill" Hill, all the Cowboys of that era.

[GOFOR2]

My favorite is Earl "the Pearl" Campbell.
Not only could he play. He is a great person, and makes great sausage. No Sunday Barbeque is complete without it.

I thought Catwoman was hot too, but I think Batman has us beat Phil. There is always Wonder Woman.

All of those "Golden Era" cowboys that have been mentioned along with Aikman. Historically, the one player that I have always been drawn to because of his courage, integrity, dependability and humble attitude was Lou Gehrig. He seemed to embody everything that was good and right in athletics and the way he handled his battle with ALS was truly courageous. I always get teary-eyed when I hear his final speech about being the luckiest man in the world.

[Bull's-eye]

Football..........Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Jay Novacek, Bill Bates, Earl Campbell

Baseball.........Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Nolan Ryan, Roger Clemens

Basketball......Magic , Bird and Jordan

[SintonFan]

David Robinson is my favorite. He personifies every good quality known to man. Much of the money he has made went directly back into the San Antonio community. A great player and an even greater person.http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/cool/cool-smiley-015.gif

The CAT I am referring to GO is Caterine Osterman the great softball pitcher from the University of Texas that is currently playing on the USA Olymphics Softball Team! :)

[Doon]

Football-Tony Dorsett-my teenage years hero.

Baseball-Fred McGriff-saw him play alot during my time stationed in San Diego. Very quiet superstar.

Basketball-Larry Bird-no need for explanation

Golf-Jack Nicklaus-the epitome of a gentleman

Racing-Dale Earnhardt-the intimidator, and man did he intimidate people.
