Ironic, because he was traded for the guy who was already anointed the greatest ever...Michael Vick
I was just going to comment on that.
That's one trade that rarely gets talked about in hindsight. Can anyone even make a case for the Falcons now??

Finally, Sam Bowie can rest easy knowing he's no longer the biggest pro sports draft blunder ever.

It's early yet, but Mario Williams might have an eye on that one.

I'd take it even further, he's making a case to become one of the best all-time athletes across all sports.
Agreed. A lot of people call Walter Payton the best football player to ever play.
Tomlinson will need a ring, and he'll need longevity. With those two things, he could grab best football player ever status.

Speaking of which, and this could be a thread in and of itself, but best athletes of all time across all sports? In some order:
Michael Jordan
Babe Ruth
Wayne Gretzky
Jack Nicklaus
Tiger Woods?
Wilt Chamberlain
Mario Lemieux
Babe Didrickson
Mark Spitz
Pete Sampras?
Michael Phelps?
I don't know if there's any one football player that fits in there yet. Some say Payton, Jim Brown, Rice, and then there's a slew of QBs one of which has to be Joe Montana. But Tomlinson could join the conversation someday.

There are a number of basketball players I would add to that list, but most notably on mine would be Julius Erving.

Plus the Chargers basically got Drew Brees in that deal too

If he plays another 6 years he may be the greatest RB ever.

LOL
Top three people most likely to be the real Kidwell:
3) Matty (to set an example of what not to do around here)
2) Wewhite
1) Schneed (muhuwhahahaha)
I'm kidding, I'm not Kidwell.
