paige3girl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Were some overlooked? Certainly. With only 25 as the limit, it seems like an impossible task imo. I'll admit the bias towards racers, but racing is very tough and it is much more difficult than anyone can know. as is swimming.... I just think this list is crap. Although I have very much enjoyed the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 2) Lance Mackey (Iditarod) Dude is number 2 and he stands on a sled one time a year? WTF? Punters in the NFL are tougher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike619 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 being a good athlete, doesn't make one tough. I love it when soccer players are SO hurt that they have to bring out a strecher to carry them off. But as soon as they get off the field and they spray that "magic spray" on their shin they jump right up and run back on the field. We should find out what that spray is and market it!!!

EersSkins05 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 BTW- Major and others, the list includes RONDE Barber, not Tiki. I think Bruce Bowen should be on the list. Up until a suspension earlier this year, he'd played and started 500 straight games as a defensive specialist often matched up with bigger, stronger players like Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant.

I shall share his response... I think you may have hit a nerve It's of soccer players diving and faking injury but it's all latin american players in the video. Tell them that's not real soccer and those guys can only make it in the MLS but never in Europe. Tell them European soccer is to American soccer what the NFL is to gardening.

PleaseBlitz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 lol the worst pro soccer player is a better athlete that a golfer. Very true.

rincewind Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't care if they're retired, I vote for these two guys. Jack Youngblood: He is most famous for playing the entire 1979-1980 playoffs, including Super Bowl XIV, with a fractured left fibula.[28] He also played in the 1980 Pro Bowl with the injured leg, a week after the Super Bowl. In the playoffs Youngblood sacked Roger Staubach near the sideline in the waning moments of the divisional playoff game versus the Dallas Cowboys[29]. Playing with the cracked leg was noted by Sports Illustrated in their Top 10 list of athletes playing in pain.[30] For that and other achievements Jack was dubbed the "John Wayne of football" by Jim Hanifan[31] and echoed by Hall of Fame coach, John Madden.[32] Hurbert Mizell of the St. Petersburg Times was more terse writing that, "Jack Youngblood of the Rams was something beyond heroic. Bordering on maniacal".[33]Despite that and numerous other injuries, Youngblood played in 201 consecutive games, a Rams team record; and only missed 1 game in his 14 year NFL career. He played in seven straight Pro Bowls, 5 NFC Championships, and one Super Bowl. He was also the Rams defensive captain from 1977 through 1984 and was voted the Dan Reeves award 3 times, which is awarded to the team's MVP. He had an uncredited 151.5 career sacks and led the Rams in sacks nine times despite playing first in assistant Coach Ray Malavasi's stop-the-run-first defensive scheme and then in his final two seasons in Defensive Coordinator Fritz Shurmer's 3-4 two-gap scheme which limited some pass rush opportunities to make sure the opponent's running game was handled. [34] His highest single season sack total was 18 in 1979. Ronnie Lott: Lott switched to the safety position in 1985. He cut the tip of his left pinky finger off after the 1985 season, when it was crushed tackling RB Timmy Newsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathartic-j Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't know if I'm tough enough to do the Iditarod, and this is coming from someone who's spent the night in a snow cave, with the low getting down to about 20 degrees below zero (F). Mike Sellers isnt on the list. So what is your point? Right, but his name came up at least once, maybe a few times, as someone who should be. I wouldn't mind him being on there, though it's unrealistic that he would be: he's not well known, and we're talking about Sports Illustrated. Anyway, my point was pretty clear: you're citing "number of carries" as a case against Barber's toughness, but that's a pretty poor indicator of his fortitude. The fact that Barber's coaches like a two-back system has little to do with his toughness, and lots to do with their awareness that pretty much any running back, no matter how tough, will suffer if he has too many carries. And since the Cowboys had two capable backs, why wouldn't they have the two share the load, when they have that luxury? It keeps both of them fresher, and happier. Can there be a round dedicated to Indian-burns? Absolutely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Tiger flips out over a camera shutter. If an MLB hitter like Zimmerman can hit a fastball in the bottom of the 9th to win a game with a cheering crowd, the fact that Tiger acts like a little ***** when someone photographs his backswing makes me think he doesn't belong on this list at all.

Koolblue13 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I guess but I think that Carl Edwards (HH will love this) is in better shape and tougher. He doesnt back down from anyone. I think Kurt Busch is pretty tough too. I love Smoke and all, but he is a fat roly poly man who has a tough mouth but never has been made to back it up. :2cents: Didn't Mark Martin cut the cast off his broken arm on the way to a top 10 finish less then four years ago?This list started to fail at #1.
