See, I never got the humor. Seems like just another day at the office. OTOH, what possible
reason is there for re-making "the In-Laws"--with a podiatrist, for cryin' out loud!

OK, first thing, it's not a trailer. It's the OLYMPIC TRAINING SLED. Second, we cannot possibly
settle the exact degree of OTS dude's greatness without probing the frequency with which he
gets laid.

That means the Philly crowd makes the final determination.

Ken expressed his opinion in the first post that started this whole thread.
 
There is no doubt Eddy Merckx is the greatest rider of all time. By even asking that question, you
make a terrible insult to the incredible athlete that Meckx was. Eddy Merckx is the greatest in
cyclinghistory like
* Muhammed Ali in boxing
* Pete Sampras in tennis
* Pele in Football (though I prefer Maradonna)
* Serguei Boubka in pole jumping
* Michael Jordan in basketball
* Michael Schumacher in F1
* Jan Zelezny in javelin
* Stephen Hendry in snooker
* Stefan Everts in motorcross
* Mick Doohan in motorcycling
* Eric De Vlaeminck in cyclocross

Imagine how great he would have been with the real Belgian Pot instead of that lame 100% Colombian.

Kenny, One could put forth the case for Giacomo Agostini being somewhat better than Mickey D. He did
win eight titles in the 500s ('66 - '72 and '75) and seven in the 350 class ('68 - '74). Pretty
impressive run, really. Too bad he didn't win a title of some sort in '73, that would have made a
run of ten consecutive years with at least one world championship!

And I'll bet (s)he can wind it up to 60 mph in the small chainring too.
