    Singletary might be the most overrated MLB of all time. There are 15 guys playing now as good as he was. Talk about media hype, he's the KING of media hype.

    If you ask why he was great, the answer is always "his eyes". Too bad "his legs" weren't better.

    Ray Lewis is a MLB. That is what a dominant player looks like.

    I thought that guy was a German philospher, not a football player.

    did you actually see the man play in his prime and not the end of his career?
    guy covered loads of ground and was a big reason the Bears were so stingy on the ground.
    you're totally underating his play.
    yes his eyes were always mentioned because he was so focused, but if you paid attention, he was always where the ball was too.

    LT.

    The man is single-handedly responsible for the evolution of the weakside offensive tackle.

    So every player that forced a scheme or rule change is the greatest of all time?

    You guys are so wrong, its kinda funny. the best LB of all time is Matt Millen, and he is also the greatest GM of all time. :)

    Im also going to throw out the name James Laurinaitis, for shits and giggles if he stays healthy he will dominate the game.

    When you're that good to dominate to force teams to compensate for it, probably.
