I don't care what team they play for. Roy Halladay is past your typical prime age and he's still pitching like an ace, I'd considering him still in his prime. We only ever talk about them because everything I say about them is under a microscope by you
Yeah but do you see him regressing? No. Prime is a mixture of age and how you start to regress and see a drop in stats.

Lmfao, you're such a hypocrite, do you see Mariano Rivera regressing? NOPE. Yet you called me a homer for saying he's still in his prime

Lol I'm a hypocrite? You're the one who bashed Rollins for saying the Phillies were a 100 win team, but when Rex Ryan makes a prediction, you just shrug it off like its no big deal.

And he's 41. He could retire any day. Difference from being 35 and just leaving your prime and to being 41 and possibly retiring season.

I never bashed Rollins for making the prediction, I just brought up the last time he made a prediction

Any player could retire any day, plenty of guys have retired at Roy's age.

Yes, but star players i.e. Halladay tend not to, usually playing until their late thirties.

Ok the last two pages were excessive and dumb.

I am a Rangers fan and Yankees fan. As a real Rangers fan, Gretzky does not make the top 20. Messier, Leetch, Richter, maybe even Graves and Lundqvist make the list before he does.

Does Jagr make the list? He finished his career with the Rangers, and put up imo better stats at a time where numbers were loser than with Gretzky.

:headsmack:

I feel like a fucking retard for forgetting Messier, Leetch, and Richter. I would also agree with Lundqvist there too. One of the main reason why you guys are always in the playoff hunt.

You know, if you really think about it, only a select few should trully be mentioned when talking about NY's greatest athletes. The rest are so convoluted because we are talking about a variety of sports that it really just becomes a matter of opinion.

But there are specific locks that have to be there like Ruth, Robinson, Gehrig, Mantle, Dimaggio, Seaver, Ewing, Frazier, Dr. J, Namath, LT, Leetch, and Messier.

I meant besides Jeter, but yea he is on that list. Now if you want to include the New Jersey Devils then Martin Brodeuer would be on there as well definitely.

Lmao it doesn't. You're honestly beyond retarded to think so.

One random opinion from someone like you does not make it suck.
