	Yuck. What a ghastly list.

	alpha:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:27 GMT	6 points
	no kidding. Rose ahead of Mays?

	Fidelio:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:28 GMT	12 points
	None of the following will be accepted if you just type the last name: Martina Navratilova, Joe Louis, Billie Jean King, Sidney Crosby, Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, Ian Thorpe, O.J. Simpson, and Sugar Ray Robinson. There may be others, too.

	Fidelio:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:29 GMT	6 points
	Also, you misspelled Cal Ripken Jr., and Jeff Gordon.

	kmad:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:35 GMT	8 points
	didn't accept "orr" or "brodeur"

	MM008:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:52 GMT	6 points
	Missing a ''b'' in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

	Skin515:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 15:56 GMT	9 points
	Good concept, terrible execution.

	tron527:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 16:11 GMT	5 points
	Didn't accept West for Jerry West. What was your source of this list?

	phillyphan81:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 16:11 GMT	11 points
	When I saw Kobe at number 12 I quit.

	kapper29:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 16:15 GMT	4 points
	like skin55 said, great list but the execution was terrible. Too many spelling errors.

	Kicking222:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 16:18 GMT	8 points
	Basing quizzes on lists like this is a bad idea, because lists like this are idiotic- they're not done by experts, just random sports fans. This is almost as terrible an idea as making a quiz based on your own personal taste... actually, it might be worse if you're trying to pass off the people who made the original list as knowledgeable in their field.

	terpnation:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 17:00 GMT	1 point
	Scumacher, Ripken, Nourmi, Gordon. Not to mention the source of this list is highly invalid.

	Mr_Negative:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 17:35 GMT	6 points
	Wow...LeBron James might be the most overrated person on the list. Way too early to put him that high. Especially, above the best WR to ever play the game, and arguably the best athlete ever to play football.

	adamchappelle:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT	7 points
	Someone please explain to me how Tiger is ahead of Nicklaus on this list despite trailing him in major wins. And really? A-Rod and Jeter over Cy flipping Young? Why is Koufax even on this list? He had 6 good seasons. Whomever came up with this list is/are a bunch of people who know nothing of sports history.

	sobdennis:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 19:06 GMT	3 points
	I don't mind the list, even though I don't agree with all of it. There are answers that weren't accepted.I would accept Zaharias for Didrikson, though. Also correct the spelling.

	alexinman:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 21:28 GMT	8 points
	what exactly is "dutch football"?

	soshoreman:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 00:16 GMT	5 points
	What a complete load of crap!!

	lukespringer:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 00:26 GMT	10 points
	This load is a total sham. Pete Rose is nowhere close to the top 25 baseball players of all-time, let alone top 25 athletes. Stan Musial, probably the 7th or 8th best baseball player ever, doesn't make the list. Rose, at absolute best, if you happen to not put much emphasis on what a terrible fielder he was, is somewhere in the top 65-70 range as a baseball player. How the 65th best baseball player makes the top 25 athletes of all-time is beyond stupid. I couldn't bring myself to even finish the quiz after about one minute.

	scherny05:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 00:29 GMT	1 point
	Emmitt Smith?

	Camden:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 00:33 GMT	7 points
	I have a real problem with Bo Jackson at 19. Depending on how you are going about making this list, he needs to either be top 5 or not on it at all. If you are defining "athlete" as "physical specimen" then he should be top 5, but if you are basing this list on accomplishment, as it appears you are by the rest of the list, then he needs to be left off completely.

	Burtdoggy:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 01:29 GMT	6 points
	With the spelling errors, glaring athlete omissions and the inabilty of this quiz to accept many last names - I was able to find one silver lining. Did anybody notice in GOGMAN's instructions at the top of the page that he posted the following: *Detonates Active Player? This quiz should be blown up. The irony of that statement slays me.

	BigKuntry42:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 02:46 GMT	5 points
	I knew this list would be terrible when I saw Wilt Chamberlain at number 16. The fact that LeBron and Kobe are ranked ahead of him is a joke in and of itself.

	Octoman:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 02:52 GMT	12 points
	Whoa that's one dangerous asterisk! Detonates active player? Ouch.

	Lebron James being ahead of Wilt Chamberlain, Joe Montana, Willie Mays, and Jerry Rice is an affront to the human race. Frankly, I'm offended.

	havlorech:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 04:32 GMT	12 points
	And did you know that Steve Nash is better than both John Stockton and Isaiah Thomas? I didn't until today.

	chriskotx:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 04:33 GMT	2 points
	I entered Robinson, Thorpe, Abdul Jabbar, King, Ryan, Louis, West and Robertson...none of them came up.

	aumurphy:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 05:08 GMT	5 points
	since when does driving make someone an athlete? would a lesser "athlete" get a foot cramp?

	raja8:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 09:35 GMT	4 points
	Awful...

	juusosieni:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 11:34 GMT	2 points
	People complain about euro-centric quizzes but do Americans understand how annoying they are with their yankee sports? 73,4 % got Bo Jackson? I had never heard of him. Also, only "Tendulkar" isn't accepted for Sachin Tendulkar, whom I knew though Finland isn't any kind of cricket country. So many of the 100 best sportspersons simply aren't from baseball.. As a Finn I also ask why is Paavo Nurmi (12 Olympic medals from long distance running, of which 9 is gold; "king of runners") on place 74? Any track and field athletics fan would consider him as a better athlete than Ty Cobb or Barry Sanders.

	miko:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 14:44 GMT	1 point
	I guess since none of the very many spelling errors have been fixed, there isn't much point in mentioning that "Cruyff" can also be spelled "Cruijff".

	@Burtdoggy, I noticed that too, and it instantly became one of my favourite typos of all time. Not a fan of the spelling errors in the quiz proper, but that exploding asterisk, that's a keeper.

	ajhill:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 16:48 GMT	2 points
	Terrible. Too many spelling errors and lack of acceptance for last names, and a borderline idiotic list given some of the selections.

	statephone:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 20:04 GMT	1 point
	horrible

	Navarro2814:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT	2 points
	Face it. There will NEVER be a sports list with no complaints

	Ciolf:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 20:40 GMT	6 points
	So that's why we haven't seen Barry Bonds in a while - all those asterisks have detonated him....

	Borlando89:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 21:19 GMT	7 points
	LeBron James over Russell, Chamberlain, and Magic is a joke.

	davebesag:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 22:17 GMT	1 point
	Michael Schumacher is also spelt wrongly.
