OT Wayne was better at his chosen game....Wayne played in a watered down defense era...Gordie Howe (whom in my opinion the "Great One" couldn't carry his jock) played primarily when the league had 6 teams and they all were good..you never saw 8-2 games if score was 4-2 people thought it was a blowout...
Same with Tiger Woods...by far the greatest golfer of his era...and maybe of all time, but it's tough to compare the courses/equiptment that he plays, on/with, to lets say those of even Palmer/Sneed/Hogan/Jones...
And don't even get me started on Dick Weber was the greatest bowler of all time..the truest of "manly man" sports...well except maybe curling..
Once in a while
you get shown the light
