Who is your favorite non Dolphin athlete of all time

[CanadaPhinsFan]

Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky. In their primes they were probably the two most dominant players their sports have ever seen. I can remember growing up watching those great Oilers teams in the 80's. The Bulls 6 title run in the 90's was just incredible. The rest of the league didn't even stand a chance.

For me, the one knock on Jordan is that he had the chance to go out on top after sinking the shot that won the finals. He tarnished his legacy to an extent by playing for the Wizards.

In football it would probably be Reggie White.

All other sports....Im not a big fan of Bicycling, but you gotta give Lance Armstrong his due.

Without a doubt it is Walter "Sweetness" Payton. In my opinion the best running to play the game so far!:beerbang:

Sweetness.. Never gave up on arun. and NEVER ran out of bounds. He made defenders pay for trying to tackle him. And when he wasnt hurting tacklers he was freezing them with a studder step. Pure HEART. I loved to watch him play. :)

He was the single greatest RB I've ever seen. It brings tears to my eyes to watch him in replays. He was poetry in motion.

Hands down Deion Sanders. Then we have in no particular order, Dick Butkus, Johnny Sample, Tracy Austin, and Debi Thomas.

Derek Jeter. Captain October. Best shortstop in baseball. I just love to watch this guy play. The guy is a 100 percent team player, i bet there isn't a owner, manager, or gm in the league that wouldn't love to have him on their team. He's deffinately on his way to Cooperstown.

*laughs* at the thought of Jeter being the best shortstop in baseball. As for the topic of the the thread, Carlton Fisk and Pedro Martinez.
