Yet Armstrong hasn't had to battle the quality or depth of competition in his sport that baseball, basketball or football greats have risen above in theirs.

This is true.. I've always said it myself.. The toughest games are the ones with the most/toughest competitors. Running 100 meters isn't tough, but if you had to beat the whole world, it is tough.

Is armstrong even the best athlete on a bike? I have as much respect for the stunts that Dave Mirra pulls. those require coordination and courage.

It was Bayless' argument with Woody Paige that led me to make the thread. I like Bayless' argument on all points.
