I think my definition of G.O.A.T is a bit different than most....I consider on field accomplishments, but also the impact they had on the game as well as accomplishments after leaving, that being said...

Football-Walter Payton (lol the top college offensive player doesnt get the Tom Brady award, neither does the NFL man of the Year

Boxing-Muhammed Ali (monster in the ring at 18 as well as 33, stood up for his beliefs despite the negative impact, not to mention all of his humanitarian efforts his whole life

Baseball-Nolan Ryan (heck the Robin Ventura fight should be enough! 46 yr old pitcher giving more than he got from a 26 yr old!)

Basketball-Michael Jordon (the game of basketball was literally reinvented by the way MJ played the game)

lol Im reminded of when Larry Bird was asked about who would win...the original Dream Team or the new Dream Team, everyone was shocked when he said the new Dream Team, then followed it up by saying he hadnt picked up a basketball in 15 years so they the new Dream Team would have the edge

Goat (yep that was his name) Anderson - Baseball player from the 1910s-20s.

Bill the Goat - Navy's Football mascot

Goat Breker - Racing (to some its a big 4 event)

Alain Chevrier - Hockey (last name translates to goat from Acadian French)

Michael Jordan. Dale Earnhardt. Ali. Tom Brady. Michael Phelps. Jack Nicklaus. Nolan Ryan.

Baseball- Rickey Henderson 

Football- Joe Montana  

Basketball- Michael Jordan 

Hockey- Wayne Gretzky

Rickey Henderson 

I think in 50 years there may be more support for Henderson than today. I dont think he's ahead of Aaron Mays Ruth Cobb(Ty, not Alex) though...even Frank Robinson I would put ahead of Henderson. I feel like he was great at what he did (score runs and steal bases) and average at a bunch of other things.

What about adding Earl Manigault?

Ya ok I guess. He could replace Bill the Goat who's not human or an athlete. Thanks Dave!
