ESPN power rankings...Skins @ #18

Vick is up for best athlete in the world, I dont really agree with that. Hes gifted but hasnt proved it yet. He had a good year two years ago but then was injured all last year, and lost a step from breaking his leg. Like the Skins, he doesnt deserve that much credit until he goes out and excels.

As far as the Pats, how can you not rank them first. For one, the Superbowl champ by default is ranked first. Second, they upgraded their running back position a lot, and With Wilfork and Taylor the improved in my opinoin at dtackle. Washingotn was hurt fo rpart of the year and is getting old. Now they have a force that is young. Colvin was out all last year and will be back, thats a great talent to be readding to the startign lineup. I am glad that we dont play the Pats this year, all they seem to do is win super bowls

he wasn't too shaby of a college or highschool player either. i can't believe barry bonds made it as far as he did in that espn thing. next thing u know they'll have nascar drivers and bowlers in contention for best athlete in the world. ( and I love bowling, but we ain't athletes. there's a big difference between being athletic and being skilled) i think best athlete should be going to someone who does the decathalon or something but i don't remember any in that brackett plus they aren't known by anyone, this was just a popularity contest.

i can't argue with that cuz to win an incredibly grueling event like the tour de france 5 years in a row after having testicular cancer is absolutely remarkable.
