      Huh, so today was the very first day it occurred to me that Hi I'm Mandy might not be a Judge Jude alt.
      More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

        LeBron is the best basketball player of all time, imo.

          Baseball: Babe Ruth (by a very large margin)
          Basketball: LeBron (by not a very large margin at all)
          Football: Tom Brady (ugh, hard to write that out....props to Jerry Rice, too)
          Hockey: Gretzky (huge margin, although I don't know a ton of hockey)

                  Strikes me that individuals have a greater outcome on the ultimate outcome in basketball than the other major sports (maybe QBs in the NFL, though....unsure) and that LeBron has dragged some decidedly mediocre teams to championships. He's also top 10 all time in both points and assists, the only player who can say that. He leads the NBA in assists this year.

                    There are no longer any soldiers who can say they are the dumbest ones in their chain of command.

                      Basketball playera and qb's....and ptchers in a single game do have a lot of influence on the outcome

                        What if u volunteered to have the Donald as your commander in chief ? Makes me wonder about armes forces recruiting lately. I suspect it hasnt changed much or maybe even increased with our current leader

                            So in football do you consider the greatest player the guy with the most value or the guy who is the greatest at what he does. Seems like a QB would always be the greatest player based on value because the QB is inherently more valuable, but what if a LB is much greater than every other LB that ever played ? How do we rate the greatest Guard or CB or TE vs. the greatest QB ?
