You realize Barry accomplished the same as well...

You're statement of:

I just chose to put players who wanted to play on my list.

is probably the worst statement I've seen on this board.

So...Michael Jordan would not be the greatest basketball player of all time?

Brett Favre considering retirement (ie. not wanting to play) makes him not one of the greatest quarterbacks?

You're just pulling up propaganda garbage....Don't hide behind some cockamamie blocking excuse...much less not even know that Barry helped Detroit to the NFC Championship game...

Sportsmensa...You ain't so mensa.

This seems a little on the harsh side. There are a lot of people that have strong feelings about athletes, but they're just opinions. Jim Brown, for instance, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. He refused to block if he wasn't carrying the ball. How many points should/does he lose for that? One of the main reasons I think so highly of Walter Payton is that he gave 100% on every play, including laying out some of the best pancake blocks you'd ever see. Wilt Chamberlin is one of the greatest athletes ever, but had trouble making free throws. If someone wants to dock him points for that, that's their opinion.
