I am long overdue to write about Seattle's eventful offseason.
I've been posting a lot on my history blog. It rarely relates to sports, but yesterday was an exception.
I wrote this piece weighing the evidence for who deserves the title of greatest male athlete in recorded history.
Even the most casual reader of this blog knows what a hopeless homer I am, but no, I did not make a case for any Seahawks--not even my man Walter Jones, a transcendent talent who remains criminally underrated.
When I saw the title of this post, my immediate reaction was "Jim Thorpe." Back when I used to write a blog that combined astrology with sports (yes, I'm a little weird) I profiled a lot of athletes, male and female, and for me, he certainly ranked as The Greatest of The Great.
