Stanford Speedos Representin'

Now, there's no disputing that Stanford sophomore water polo star Tony Azevedo is the best player in the country, as he's already led his team to two national titles in two years. But my eyebrows raised more than a little bit when I read that Men's Journal has named Azevedo as the 7th-best athlete in the world. Better than Lance Armstrong? Kobe Bryant? Roy Jones Jr? I'm not even sure he's better than Serena Williams. While I do applaud the panel from Men's Journal for looking at athletes from a wide range of sports, it's stupid to think that picking one guy from each sport will give an accurate list of the world's best athletes. If you took every pro athlete in the world and put them in an all-skills athletic competition, I'm pretty sure NBA and NFL players would make up about 70% of the list.
