If hand eye coordination is so important what about people who are amazing at video games like Halo. I can tell you that there is plenty of competition these days.

I’ll be the first to admit that cyclists might not be the “best-all around athletes,” but skip bayliss has totally “mike Shannon-ed” his point.

If perhaps he had suggested that decatheletes are the greatest athletes i might have agreed with him. Shit, they are almost world class in ten (count ‘em) ten sports.

The fact remains, however, that the article is pretty stupid to begin with. I’m not sure what prompted him to write this article (plenty of people have argued that lance is the most conditioned athete (apparently him and steve nash according to the announcers in the NBA finals) but who has arged that he is the “best all around athlete? Honestly, Skip Bayliss pretty much just sounds intimidated and insecure in his article.

also, his lack of knowledge about sports he is supposedly supposed to know about (football, baseball, b-ball) is shocking.

what next? a poorly constructed article extolling the superiority of the white athlete?

skip bayliss. you are an idiot. sad thing is, a lot of people aren’t going to notice.

“Williams could run with the Kenyans in the Boston marathon for a couple hours, but…”

I was in a Cat. 4 crit around Boston one time, and a Pats backup linebacker showed up to the race. He lasted 4 laps.

Case closed.
