Jerry and Jimmy 1 & 2 and it's not even close. If you have watched football once in the last 4 decades then you know who they are.

Hey Kritten,
Get real buddy. Joe Namath was nothing. He won one Super Bowl and threw as many interceptions as completions. Check his stats in college, and the pros. Stabler faired a little better. Bear Bryant, biggest cheater in college football history. If he coached in todays game Bama would have had the death penalty.

Lance Alworth Sidney Moncrief The third is tough, a lot of great players but can't think of anybody in the above two's class. Likely forgetting someone.


I would say Jerry Jones over Moncrief for football

Bill Clinton-sport fricking.

Bryant played football at Bama, granted, that isn't what he's famous for.

Sure, I think more people in the world know who Lolo Jones is over Pete Maravich. It doesn't really diminish him.
