OT: G.O.A.T.'s in all sports

[Weave]

Really interesting seeing all the votes for Sweetness given there is debate about whether he is the best RB all time, let alone greatest player.

Payton was my football hero in the 80s.

He really was one of the greats and an even better human being.

Tennis is interesting.  

Womens - Martina, Steffi or Serena?  Steffi was virtually unbeatable for a decade. Serena has been better longer.

Mens - Federer, Nadal, Djokovic.  Since Agassi won’t the first major of 2003, these 3 guys have won 56 of the next 66 majors. Domination or no depth to the game? 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

NHL - Orr (even though I must hate all dastardly Bruins and Flyers, that does not influence this contest)

Soccer - CR7

Don't know enough about the other sports long histories to really say.

I would put Sampras ahead of Nadal, but it’s close.

No French Open for Sampras. I can't put him ahead without a Slam on 3 surfaces.
