He conquered like 2/3rds of the known world at the time.....through military force.

Not sure if you consider that being a bad ass...but it seem pretty good evidence to me.

He cut down quite a few in his day.

Is ol' Gengis on DVD like Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan? (Or how do we really know if GK was really that much of bad azz?)

The GOAT was Ghengis Khan. He built the largest empire in history.....]

But could he sack the quarterback?

"One said:

The greatest of all time was LT. The Giants LT. Enough said.

LT caused offenses to completely change the way they played football with pass protection, QB drop backs, quick releases and more, he was a bad dude to try to line up against....just ask Joe Theismann.

I thought LT was kind of a jerk until I heard him talk once, the NFL brass was almost laying for him waiting for him to screw up.

But he was an adrenaline junkie and ran afoul of the rules with his coke use but in that interview he said how I'll prepared he was for the big, fast lifestyle in the NFL. He said once he was just a young guy sitting in a bar with everyone glorifying him and he had $8,000 cash in his pocket, no wonder he could easily get into trouble.

His fault or not he was a bad dude that most fans would LOVE to have on their team on Sunday afternoon.

Interesting but could be argued he isn't the best defensive player, Reggie White

Many suspect that it was Truman Capote who actually wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.:

In the decades since Harper Lee published TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in 1960, her novel has been shadowed by a persistent rumor. The speculation has been that Lee's long time friend Truman Capote either wrote or heavily edited the book, which would go on to be a bestseller and win the Pulitzer Prize.

I believe though that the rumors were denied by both parties....(but who really knows)

@tour2ma said:

You are right. Her childhood friend was Truman Capote author also of Breakfast at Tiffany's from the late 50's, well before In Cold Blood.

I just went to Wiki to retrieve this:

Friendship with Harper Lee

Capote based the character of Idabel in Other Voices, Other Rooms on his Monroeville neighbor and best friend, Harper Lee. Capote once acknowledged this: "Mr. and Mrs. Lee, Harper Lee's mother and father, lived very near. She was my best friend. Did you ever read her book, To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that book, which takes place in the same small town in Alabama where we lived. Her father was a lawyer, and she and I used to go to trials all the time as children. We went to the trials instead of going to the movies."^[15] After the Pulitzer Prize was awarded to Lee in 1961 and Capote published In Cold Blood in 1966, the authors became increasingly distant from each other."

So...you agree with him that BB, TB and the Pats never cheated. It was all a conspiracy against them. (that is his claim).

An you agree with him that Tom Brady's 5 titles is more than Otto Graham's 7?

And you got all stupid with me over the fact that I forgot that Brandon Weeden started game one of his rookie year?

And you got all stupid with me because it is my opinion that the Browns need a QB, first and foremost priority?

Yet you defend this feckless fugat?

Just so we are clear on where you are coming from.
