I know Lance Armstrong isn't on the list because of the doping...But dude beat Ball, Brain, Lung and Abdominal cancer. He is a great athlete, and I'm still a fan.

But I think BO Jackson...I hear athlete and I think of him.

I brought him up a couple weeks ago in one of these threads. Dude's amazing.

^This. While not necessarily one of the greatest books ever written, the story is one of the greatest stories ever told. You really do have to read it just to understand and believe what all Louis went through. The lady that wrote Seabiscuit wrote this book. Hillenbrand?

How the hell did 22 people vote for Pele??


**Edit, nevermind, I read it wrong, 22 went with Jim Thorpe...

-Me being a dumbshit makes much more sense than 22 voting for Pele.... so all is well.
