I voted Bill Russell because Boston fans are always so defensive.

So, I guess I know where I stand.

I would not leave Elway off that list for 5 million dollars and blow jobs on demand from supermodels. The title of the article should be "Which athlete is the most John Elway"

He still put Shanny on there.



Calvin is easily the most overrated Detroit sports figure. Or Chelios, since he will always be tainted with Blackhawk.
I've got a soft spot for shanny. The Shanny trade led to the Devils acquiring Stevens. I agree with @RP-29 definitely Brady

Eric Lindros.
See I can agree with this. I've always had Hasek up there as one of the most over rated players in hockey. But it really is hard to top Lindros. People had him as Gretzky 2.0 entering that draft. He spent all that time throwing a tantrum refusing to play for Quebec. Leaving a list of "winners" he would play for. Then lived in the shadows of the guy Quebec received in the exchange. Peter Forsberg who went on to hoist Cups and outperform Lindros by a large margin. One of the worst trades in NHL history. And there were some bad ones

There's also Frank Gore!

If not for some really attrocious Seahawks defenses early in his career, he only plays 3 or 4 years.....:dhd:

Lynn Swan?
I'm biased on that one :dhd: But I can see the arguement got Swann being considered over rated. If not for his performance on the big stage. And the teams that surrounded him is he in the HOF? What are your thoughts on Moon? He's always been a tough one for me to gauge. I've always been on the fence as to whether he was a product of a system. Or just a great QB
