Evel Knievel was the same type of talent as fighter pilots and pro quarterbacks and race car drivers.

On that note, I see I failed to mention Joe Willie Namath.

Definitely another of my favorites.

A few of my favorite athletes from my younger days:
1 - Bart Starr. Not only was he an amazing player he is a true gentleman and everything you would hope for in your childhood idol. Best wishes and speedy recovery to him.

2 - Lou Graham. A professional golfer who won the U.S. Open in 1975. Just like Starr a true gentleman and everything you would want in a childhood idol.

3 - "The Man" Dave Scott. 6 times Hawaii Ironman champion. Everyone's idol who did triathlons back in the day.

There are a few athletes I like today, but as an adult it just isn't the same thing. -tnscouter

For a Colorado boy I've got to say John Elway. If he hadn't been stuck with Dan Reeves there would have been more Super Bowl wins.

I didn't care for sports for awhile.
About 1976 I started hearing about this
kid at U.T. Earl Campbell got me hooked
on football again.

Raced %110 from start to finish, what ever it took.

Edwin Moses was light years ahead of anyone in his era.

Surprised no mentioned Herschel Walker.


I wondered if anyone here would know who those 2 guys were!


Never saw Johnnie T. But did ride in the same "open" Pacific States Series race with Ned, Tom Ritchey, Jackie Phelan etc in '84. Along with another ton of the early mountain bike pioneers. And yeah, Overend was just in another class than the rest at that time...

As for others:

John Howard
Lynn Hill
Alex Lowe
Willy Mays
Joe Montana
Nicki Lauda
