This could be anyone~ a player on any team, coach of any team a sports radio personality, anybody having to do with sports. \n\n*I asked this question earlier in the week and I realized i should have clarified that this is a poll, there is no one correct answer

Allen Iverson.  T.O. is easy to hate, but EVERYBODY HATES AI.  They just show their hate by constantly critisizing his performance...not as overt as the T.O. thing!

Muhammed Ali\n  \nPelé\n\n(I have met somebody who played against Pelé, and against Garrincha, and all the famous footballers of that era, Stanley Matthews etc. I don't think he would have voted for a footballer as the best sportsman!)\n\nJesse Owens (well before my time)

I am going to cast my vote for O.J Simpson.  Here was a beloved athlete by almost everyone and then he fell further than any athlete I have ever seen.  I have listened to the Jim Rome show which has had years of material over the airwaves and at tour stops all based on this one athlete.  Movie deals, endorsements, fame, sideline reporter, public image, all gone in an instant.  Glory is so far away that it would be in the next cosmos for OJ.

Journalist aren't usually any good at rating football players, they mostly use stats and how the person plays on the field, if you want a real opinion of who is good ask a professional player or coach who they think is best, I would trust their opinion over a journalist every time.

Yeah...those questions are actually kind of no-brainers.  Considering you cannot go wrong either way in most cases.....it is not really all that big of a dilemma.  Not to mention EVERY manager probably has a great team and the old adage of "anyone can beat anyone on a give week" is so true in small leagues.  The eventual champion will indeed be the luckiest team....since no skill is involved in building your team.

Been watching Arsenal since 1972, been to over 400 games, so I've seen a few players. The best? Attitude, commitment and skill have always done it for me so it's Steve Williams, Paul Davis, David Rocastle, Anders Limpar, Ian Wright, Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira, Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Nigel Winterburn, Stewart Robson, Charlie George, Kenny Sansom, Pat Rice, Sammy Nelson, Liam Brady, Lee Dixon, David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Martin Keown, Peter Storey, Peter Simpson, Michael Thomas, Graham Rix, David O'Leary, Jimmy Rimmer, Willie Young, Alan Ball, George Armstrong, Frank McLintock, Charlie Nicholas, Dennis Bergkamp, Nelson Vivas, Remi Garde, Paul Merson, Brian Marwood, Silvinho, Gilles Grimandi, Alan Smith, Jens Lehmann, Kolo Toure, I could go on forever, so there's some names to discuss!

Jason Giambi, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriquez, Ken Griffey Jr., Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez. Basically anyone that has been abnormally good in the last ten years or so. To me, they are all on drugs and I don't care anymore. It's the same in NFL. If they want to destroy themselves and their lives for millions, so be it. I just hope we can stop talking about it and move on. Sports will never be "cleaned up". It's a senseless argument.

Wow, before I read the details, I had picked Barry Bonds and Kobe Bryant.  I would also like to add Terrill Owens for his selfishness.  Great Question!

College football is rich with talented recievers right now. If I was a NFL GM and had to choose one, I'd go with Calvin Johnson without a doubt.
