    For those who saw him he was absolutely majestic and totally dominating

    Yes, this may be the greatest athlete ever

    Atenears who knows the game may understand

    I am talking about Secretariat...........the racehorse who won the the Triple Crown in 1973 setting race records in all three events which still stand

    Yes he was a horse, but has already been rated by ESPN as the only non human top 100 athlete

    His movie comes out this Friday, tommorrow, I hope it is good

    Meanwhile go see the movie and watch reliving the greatest there ever was

    I am an will relive one great series of events in sports history......his life

    Big Red......the greatest of the great

    Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes

      I'm neither a gambler nor horse race fan, but I watched all those triple crown races & have NEVER seen domination to compare with Secretariat's domination of those fields. No matter when the jockey let him go, he simply ran away from the other horses. I'll never forget that.

          Jim Thorpe, hands down.

          Given that he played both football and baseball at a high level (batted over .300 one season, and batted over over .500 in one world series with the Braves--playing with a broken bone in his foot), you've got to at least consider Deion Sanders in the mix.

            Well, Mike I watched em all................still waiting to see better.......maybe Deon Sanders can outrun a horse........whatever

            The thread was for serious thought for those who know sports......Big Red was the best athlete I ever saw.........if he had two legs it would be unaminous

            If only he had a brain

                      I'll have to see the movie. That big chestnut horse could run.

                      If we are talking animals as athletes, I'll offer one rank bull:

                      The PBR decided it best to retire him since nobody wanted to ride him anymore.

                      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

                        Let's call it a tie due to the different sports, but that bull WAS devastating. There was a great show on Bodacious that aired in the last year or so. After Tuff Hedeman came back from the injury in the tape, he drew Bodacious to ride & withdrew. Nobody blamed him.
