Oakland Tribune sportswriter Dave Del Grande <[email hidden]> thinks Oakland Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson is a better athlete than Lance Armstrong, and heedless of the difficulties in any comparison of athletes across greatly differing sports, concocted his own imaginary "decathlon" to prove his point:

Armstrong could win 10 more France-o-ramas. It wouldnt matter. He
still >wouldnt crack my Top 100 ... of AMERICAS greatest athletes.
And this guy wouldn't crack my top 1000 sport writers. As I said in a post in another thread, have this guy (and others) hammer 20, 50 or even a century, and we will let him do it on a flat, and then lets see what he has to say.
