They both proclaimed themselves the greatest. I happen to agree with them. I think the rule is, if you happen to actually BE the greatest, while it's best to be magnanimous, you are not technically a twit for saying you are the greatest. That said, the word "twit" is awesome and should be used more often. I’m curious, Lowell, if you think Muhammad Ali and Rickey Henderson are twits. They both proclaimed themselves the greatest.

I mean, they're all head-over-heels for Ray Lewis and the fact that this may or may not be his last game. . I don't care what his attitude reflects. . He's been a phenominal player his entire career and great teammate for our Niners squad this season. . I want him to get that ring, period. . . . ~ALOHA~ How come nobody in the media seems to be pulling for Randy to get his first ring?

Black culture is ok with proclaiming "I am the greatest of all times!"..its a direct line from Ali. So much of Ali's iconic mannerism's too. The big open mouth grimace? One of the most famous photos of "all times" is of Ali doing that. Ricky Henderson,Randy Moss, derivatives of the great Muhammad Ali. So,in context its not much of hyperbole as sports entertainers lingo. Also- and how could I not think if it sooner?

Moss has successfully taken the insane Super Bowl spotlight off his teammates a few days and given them some breathing room. I see the media has taken the wily veterans bait hook, line and sinker.

Whoa, a fast field, bipartisan fans and the game is squarely on Kap's shoulders. He's gonna be right at home. Flacco gets them 24, Kap gets them 38 cause Akers will get a FG. Liked RM's Statement. Games gonna be brutal. Yeah, mix it up Randy!

Is he the greatest? No, but he is the second greatest. I like his swagger going into this Superbowl. It may be the last game of his career and I hope he puts on a show.

He said it in such an easy going way. If he normally never talks to the media maybe he was finally saying what he really thinks. Or maybe he was being provocative. "The best" is not an absolute. There are different ways to be "the best." I thought it was kind of funny. He said it in such an easy going way.
