    A.J. Foyt deserves some consideration even if he doesn't make the cut.

    Nice.

    Dream should be on there, its tough trying to figure who shouldn't. The Houstonian in me says goodbye to Landry, but oh well. :p

    20 straight winning seasons in the NFL, starting in your 7th year of existence, is just staggering. And on the Houston angle, the man got an engineering degree at U of H; and had the good sense to turn down Bud Adams (he was Bud's first choice to coach the Oilers).

    Carl Lewis would have been a good pick in the late '90s; I kind of wince at having to call Phelps the best Olympian ever when Lewis was a factor in sprinting, relays and long jump for four different Games. But Armstrong's whole story obviously can't be ignored.

    Heavy consideration for Ryan/Clyde/A.J. Foyt/Big George

    I think Ryan would go over Bigg. Maybe even Bags.

    For the state of texas sure but for Houston only you have to give biggio the edge over Ryan. He was an astro lifer.
