Best All Time Sports Debate

Los Mets Jerseys, Whenever the sports conversations turn to the subject of the best athlete or team or anything the talk tends to escalate to a \"best all time sports debate.\" Such was the case when a recent online discussion evolved into the subject of the Giants performance in Super Bowl XLII and whether or not the Pats, after losing in the past, could actually do anything to win a big game when everything is on the line.

Surprisingly, this conversation did not stay on track for long. After a few rounds of ice tea and crackers, the conversation moved, for some unknown reason, to the Seattle Mariners.
