Driving around yesterday I heard a conversation about the most famous athlete. Not the best necessarily but the most famous athlete in the US. Lots of names tossed about but one name was Ali. Now, I don't think there is any way to say this was the best QB in history or the best team or defense or whatever. You can name ten or so but in that group it is tough in my mind to differentiate number one from five or ten. However, I have to say I can't disagree with Ali being the most famous athlete. Whether it was his stand on the draft, his skill in the ring, his mouth, Howard Cosell, or what but I think everyone in the US knew Mohammed Ali. And that was in an era of three TV stations and no interweb or instaface.
Is there a more famous athlete???
