<p>Who are the best threesomes in a particular category?   The original Triumvirate came from the Romans where Crassus, Pompey and Julius Caesar reigned as a threesome over the Empire.  But lets bring this to a sports perspective.  Here are a few:</p>

<p>A. Pre Super Bowl QB Triumvirate:   Otto Graham, John Unitas and Sid Luckman? (or Sammy Baugh)?</p>

<p>B. 1966-1999 QB Triumvirate:  Joe Montana, Bart Starr....and Elway?  (or Marino)</p>

<p>C. 21st Century QB Triumvirate:   Tom Brady, Peyton Manning...and who?  Brees/BR/Rodgers/Eli?</p>

<p>D.  Running backs:   Jim Brown, Walter Payton ...and?   Emmit?  Barry?  OJ?</p>

<p>E. Wide Receivers:  Start with Jerry Rice....but who are next two? I think you have to include Don Hutson...who else?  Moss?  Warfield? Carter?</p>

<p>F. Middle Linebackers:    Butkus, Nitschke, Lewis?    or does Lambert belong?</p>

<p>G. Sack masters?    Reggie White?  Bruce Smith? Deacon Jones?</p>

<p>H.  Tight Ends:  Gonzales....who else? Mackey? Ozzie? Witten?</p>

<p>I. Other football categories?</p>


<p>J.  Mays, Aaron and Mantle</p>

<p>K. Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio</p>

<p>L. Other baseball categories?:  Pitchers/catchers/ Closers/shortstops etc.</p>

<p>M. Basketball centers.   Hard one:  Who are top 3?:  Russell/Wilt/Kareem/Shaq/Olajuwon/Malone/Robinson/Ewing/Walton?  </p>

<p>N. Point Guards:   Magic/Stockton/the original Isaiah Thomas?.....what about guys that you don't know where they played?  Oscar? Curry, </p>

<p>O. Best Small Forwards:   LeBron/Bird/Dr. J     any other candidates</p>

<p>P. Best Shooting guards:  Jordan/Kobe/Jerry West?  any other candidates?</p>

<p>Q. Best  Power forwards?  Karl Malone/Tim Duncan/...who else?  Hayes/Nowitski? Barkley? Rodman?</p>

<p>R. Best Golfers:   Nicklaus/Tiger/Palmer</p>

<p>A. Pre Super Bowl QB Triumvirate:   Otto Graham, John Unitas and Sid Luckman? (or Sammy Baugh)? <strong>Jurgenson?  <span style="color:#800000">Jurgenson played much of his career after 1966....plus I don't think  he quite  matches up to the others I mention. Just my opinion.</span></strong></p>

<p>B. 1966-1999 QB Triumvirate:  Joe Montana, Bart Starr....and Elway?  (or Marino) <strong>I'd go Staubach over Marino... more weight on titles. <span style="color:#800000"> Fair argument.</span></strong></p>

<p>C. 21st Century QB Triumvirate:   Tom Brady, Peyton Manning...and who?  Brees/BR/<strong>Rodgers</strong>/Eli? <strong>Moon? Fouts? <span style="color:#800000"> Both of them retired before 2000 I believe. Fouts did.  If Moon played in the 21st century it was only for a year or 2 at most.</span></strong></p>

<p>D.  Running backs:   Jim Brown, Walter Payton ...and?   Emmit?  Barry?  OJ? <strong>Earl...<span style="color:#800000"> Fair enough</span></strong></p>

<p>E. Wide Receivers:  Start with Jerry Rice....but who are next two? I think you have to include Don Hutson...who else?  Moss?  Warfield? Carter? <strong>The Seattle WR... Largent. #3? Bambi..<span style="color:#800000">. I would take Warfield over these last two.</span></strong></p>

<p>F. Middle Linebackers:    Butkus, Nitschke, Lewis?    or does Lambert belong? <strong>Argument can be made for Jack, but also for Singletary..<span style="color:#800000">.  Yes, but I would not take out Nitschke</span></strong></p>

<p>G. Sack masters?    Reggie White?  Bruce Smith? Deacon Jones? <strong>LT  <span style="color:#800000">Forgot about LT....but I don't know if we should remove the all time leader.</span></strong></p>

<p>H.  Tight Ends:  Gonzales....who else? Mackey? Ozzie? Witten? <strong>Antonio Gates... Mackey defined the position, Ozzie redefined it, Gates re-redefined it.<span style="color:#800000"> Fair argument.</span></strong></p>

<p>I. Other football categories? <strong>Kickers: Lou, Jan and Morten...</strong></p>
<p><strong>Punters: Guy, Lechler and... Roby?</strong></p>

<p>Not even close Gip. I got the Ghoolie connection. Oh, he was wearing gold? Yeah- best in speed skating. His puny 5 gold medals isn't even in the same dimension as Phelps.</p>

<p><span>Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 28 <b>medals</b>. Phelps also holds the all-time records for Olympic <b>gold medals</b> (23), Olympic <b>gold medals</b> in individual events (13), and Olympic <b>medals</b> in individual events (16).</span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/706211</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/706211</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[hoorta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2017 06:59:37 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triumvirates on Fri, 12 May 2017 20:14:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/the-gipper" aria-label="Profile: the-gipper">@<bdi>the-gipper</bdi></a> <a href="/post/706101">said</a>:</p><div>
