“If a pitcher can change speeds, every hitter is helpless, limited by human vision,” Maddux said. “Except,” he added, “for that [expletive] Tony Gwynn.”Gwynn hit .429 against Greg Maddux in 103 ABs with zero strikeouts.

That would be Mahomes, all day every day.Ask yourself this: If you had to pick Mahomes at his peak - which, granted, he may not have even reached yet - or peak Brady to lead your team to victory in a Super Bowl who would you choose?
Gotta be Brady. GOAT
It is kind of crazy that the NFL has never had a 3 peatThat would be Mahomes, all day every day.
I think if he wins his 3rd straight, you have to start thinking about him as the goat.
Also, dynasties happen when generational players are lucky enough to have generational coaches. Lombardi/Starr, Walsh/Montana, Belichick/Brady, Reid, Mahomes. It takes a lot of luck.
I read a theory is Cuban doesn’t think Doncic body can hold up due to his lack of conditioning. Essentially he’s selling high on a depreciating asset. While I can get behind that theory and suggest it’s smart, the problem is he didn’t get a good return. I mean Davis is a great piece, but he’s aging and probably not enough to get you back to the finals.
Brady had great success for a very long time. But at peak, I have to go Mahomes. He can run and just make crazy plays happen.
Sort of similar to Rose vs Gwynn. Rose had a longer career of performance. But Rose could come back to life and play again with 750 consecutive hits and still have a lower average.
Fair point, but Brady must have had a better overall team. Since was was married to someone making far more than him, he never asked for a max contract. So in theory his team had more to spend elsewhere.He also has better players at WR and RB. I’ll say gronk and Kelce cancel each other out.
The guys Brady won with are insane. Edelman? Walker? Amendola? None of those guys did a thing with another qb
Other than Hill, Mahomes has only ever had washed WRs. Worthy is showing sparks so jury out on that. He’s not had great RBs.He also has better players at WR and RB. I’ll say gronk and Kelce cancel each other out.

Davis is more injury prone than Doncic.He’s also just as injury prone, no?
Both had great offensive lines. It begins and ends there.For some reason I thought Charles and hunt were more recent. Pacheco was a hard runner, but probably on par with patriot backs.
Cuban has no real say in the matter.I read a theory is Cuban doesn’t think Doncic body can hold up due to his lack of conditioning. Essentially he’s selling high on a depreciating asset.

The whole world is out to get him. He's the crazy cat house on the block.
The great Sam Morril nails it.Davis is more injury prone than Doncic.
“Bonny should be an NBA player.”
Bronny got his FG% up into the double digits (13%!), so he's clearly improving.
He keeps that up he’ll be an NBA all-star next year.Bronny got his FG% up into the double digits (13%!), so he's clearly improving.

Supposedly he’s got a drinking problem. He’s still pretty ****ing good tho.. horrible on defenseIf the weight rumors are true, Doncic, a PG, is the 7th heaviest player in the entire NBA.
Hopefully he stays that way. I don't care for LA at all.

My favorite part might be when Bryant says "oh that one might go" and Maddux, without even looking, just based off the sound and the swing, says "Nope. Warning track."
Me too. Skill.My favorite part might be when Bryant says "oh that one might go" and Maddux, without even looking, just based off the sound and the swing, says "Nope. Warning track."
Had the Cubs not let him go, Maddux would have ended up being my favorite Cub of all time. Love that guy.
That ATL battery was amazing.Me too. Skill.
One of my all time favorite pitchers. Top five. I love when athletes are so smart. And so skillful. That when they walk down the street you’d never know what they have….My favorite part might be when Bryant says "oh that one might go" and Maddux, without even looking, just based off the sound and the swing, says "Nope.

He met his wife for lunch where they split a beautiful light Pinot and now he’s walking to the San Siro where he’ll slow jog for 90 because, well, unlike everyone else, he sees EVERYTHINGI own that same knit blazer/cardigan.
It’s just so so cool. I loved when the monsters like Big Mac would be at the plate looking like fools with that thing coming across at zero mphTwo ex-Cubs.
LOVE knuckleballers. Best pitcher on my high school team was a lefty who threw 88 with pinpoint control, a great curve, and a devastating knuckleball. I would call it all the time and he would shake me off. I swear he could have pitched in MLB with that thing. So, so hard to catch let alone hit.

Yep. A thing of beauty. This guy was blessed with a golden arm. His older brother threw harder, but blew out his arm his senior year. My teammate had such a sweet, easy motion there was little danger of that (uncoached, just came natural to him).Lefty with a knuckleball?
