Great Time of Year

I have to say that this is the best time of year for sports. Just about every night you have either NFL, College Football, baseball, and coming soon college basketball. If you love sports, as I do, then you are in seventh heven. With that said I want to have me say on the Greatest College Game Ever Played: USC vs. Notre Dame this past weekend. I have to say that the next big game is will be the next greatest game ever played. I am willing to bet that the UCLA vs. USC game will be the next greatest game ever. Can we please stop with the lists and hype that surrounds sports. I know that they can be fun to talk about but when is enough enough, in terms throwing the term greatest around. Is Peyton Manning the greatest of all time? How about Vick? Barry Sanders? Emmitt Smith? The media has weakened the term "the greatest" so when their is truly a great game we won't recognize or it's status has been cheapened. According to ESPN we have the greatest sporting event at least once a week. What about the games of the past or the players for that matter. Where does Jim Thorpe fit in to the greatest equation? At least he has the credentials to back it up? What about Red Grange and his accomplishments? Here is a man who is responsible for the modern day NFL. Do we still hold Sammy Sosa's and Mark McGuire's accomplishments in the same light as we did two years ago? Are they still two of the greatest home run hitters ever? What about Carl Lewis and his accomplishments, aren't they pretty great? What I am trying to say is that the greatest athlete or sporting event is subjective. If you ask 700 people this question you will probably receive 700 different answers.
