Best two sport athlete of all time

[Vespidie]

Wilt Chamberlain. He once scored 100 points on the court in a game, and legend has it many more scores off the court. I suppose that he was shooting and scoring all the time.

John Smoltz. Could have made it as professional golfer.

A scratch golfer might as well have a chasm between him and making the PGA tour. Romo is a scratch golfer (and better than smoltz based upon head to head in the celebrity series) but gets schooled when he plays any tour event. The tour is on a level that is hard to fathom.

Bo was certainly bigger stronger faster.

Bo was faster than Deion Sanders?

 

[GTWannaBee]

Dwayne Johnson - football and pro-wrestling.

 

[ClubSeats]

Michael Vick. Football and dogfighting.

 

[daBuzz]

Bo was faster than Deion Sanders?

No

 

[GTRules]

OJ Simpson - football and bronco chasing.

 

[aeromech]

Bo was faster than Deion Sanders?

No

Depends on the distance, Bo was explosive and definitely faster in the first 10 yards. Top end speed prolly goes to Deion; but not by much.

 

[oldgold68]

OJ Simpson - football and bronco chasing.

Or airport hurdles

 

[RussianOffense]

Justin Thomas. Football and golf

 

[ClubSeats]

Kellen Winslow Jr.
Football and banging your mom.

 

[Tampa Jacket]

Bo was faster than Deion Sanders?

Yes. Look it up.

If you consider college sports, how about Clint Castleberry? Surprised no mention of him yet.

Yep. Tour golfers are -2 to -4 hcps. But those handicaps are playing courses that basically aren't open to the public because they're so difficult it would make for 5.5 hour rounds.
Championships at Hawks Ridge does not a PGA tour player make.

Caitlyn Jenner

Two sports - not two positions! Pitcher and Catcher are the same sport.

 

[rain]

Chuck Conners - Some say first player to break a glass backboard in NBA. I understand pretty good with a rifle and a broken sword, too.
GT's Tom Hammonds if you consider Motor Sports to be sports

 

[JacketFan77]

Deion wins alone for ööööing with that asshat CBS reporter Tim McCarver.

 

[wishbone]

Ted Williams gets a nod.
Williams was named to the International Game Fish Association Hall of Fame in 2000. "Williams, Jim Brown, Cumberland Posey, and Cal Hubbard are the only athletes to be inducted into the Halls of Fame of more than one professional sport."

Didn’t he claim to have tagged something like 10,000 women?

Double it.
