I'll give you that Armstrong is only on there `cause he is a cancer survivor.
And Mia Hamm because everyone wishes women's soccer was more popular than it
is. Other than that, I can't see much to argue with. Hawk and Johnson should
be a little higher, and Ernhart excluded only becuase of the ugly fucking
shades, but that's just picking nits.

Are those "Gaygoyles" as worn by Clint Eastwood and others? If only
they could make them a little larger. Dang they are ugly. Stop
complaining about my M-frames.

The so called "editors" at Sports Illustrated have their head up their ass.

I speculate "rich" was aiming the charge of "politically correct"
not at Armstrong and Hamm, but other athletes who pushed people's
political buttons: Ali, Billie Jean King, Tommie Smith and John
Carlos (glad to see them remembered) for example.

I liked the picture of Bill Russell elevating while all the other
guys had their feet firmly on the floor.

Jesse Owens was missing.
