lawrence taylor is one of my favorite athletes of all time...
against the New Orleans Saints Taylor played through a torn pectoral muscle to record seven tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles. Taylor's shoulder was so severely injured that he had to wear a harness to keep it in its place. The Giants held on for a 13–12 win, and Parcells later called Taylor's performance "the greatest game I ever saw."
In 1989, Taylor recorded 15 sacks. He was forced to play the latter portion of the season with a fractured tibia.
has been ranked as the greatest defensive player in history by media members, former players, and coaches. He is also widely considered to be one of the most feared players to ever step onto the football field.
...my god...what a beast.
some of my other fav. athletes are...
patrick ewing
john starks
charles barkley
tiki barber
michael strahan
mark bavaro
ronnie lott
jake lamotta
and many more.
oh yeah and walter payton.
but it's so hard to say who my favorite athletes are, their are so many great ones in history.
That's cuz LT was so high on coke he couldn't feel a thing...
yeah, because coke enables you to not feel pain.
Maybe.
you're a retard.
Hey, David Wells pitched a perfect game while drunk. Why couldn't LT do something tremendous on coke?
because baseball is so undemanding of physical ability, that you can play while inebriated.
Are you serious? do you even know what a perfect game is?
yeah, and it certainly isn't baseball.
A perfect game is when no one on the opposing team reaches base. No walks, no hits, no errors. It is the most difficult feat in all of sports!
i know what the term "perfect game" means. and it must be one of the most boring things you could possibly watch. no hits, no walks, no runs...NOTHING! nothing happens in an already extremely boring sport over the course of a perfect game. in a sport, where seeing people actually MOVE is extremely rare. how could you possibly sit through that? how is that perfect?
The point is...No other feat in sports compares to it.
i disagree
Ok, name something that does.
hmmm, something that compares with a perfect game? how about a one punch knockout? or a 100 yard rushing touchdown? or a buzzer beating full court shot? or eating 50 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes?
Dude, not even close! You are talking about things that are instantaneous while a perfect game requires total focus and skill over 9 innings.
how could you say that it's "not even close?" how about rushing for 2000 yards in one season? that is not instantaneous, and less people have done that than pitched perfect games.
That's a compilation of stats over a whole season. How many players are never tackled in a single game amassing yardage? That's what someone would have to do to be in the same light. Perfect games don't happen as often as you think. I think half a dozen guys have done it in the last 15 years.
whatever, this is the dumbest argument ever. a perfect game is nothing short of miraculous, but it still does not change the fact that baseball is stupid.
according to you hitting a baseball is like the hardest thing to do in the history of the universe, so pitching a perfect game should not really be all that hard.
Maybe you should show me a miraculous one punch shot with those pythons of yours. LOL! Ah, we all have different tastes. I like baseball, you like parchesi...I mean football. Hitting against a pitcher who is throwing stuff capable of a perfect game is the hardest thing you can do.
