I have no respect for this oft-used term in sports. It seems that some network hack or buddy always throws this term out there. It means nothing to me. There is no fair way to compare players from different times , regardless of the sport. I do subscribe to the idea that some athletes are the best of of their era: Jordan, Lawrence Taylor, etc.
I heard some talking head refer to Tom Brady as the "best ever" on ESPN a few days ago. C'mon!
What do you guys think about the use of the "best player ever" designation?
