She's more man then I'll ever be. She's probably had more women as well.

[GreenCell]

None of them are on my heroes listing...with maybe the exception of Mel Gibson, his actions required actions above and beyond the call of duty.

Heroes include: Mr. Shughart, Mr. Howard, Mr. B.

Manet reno has her beat.

[Jewels1091]

I rather like HONORABLE MENTIONS 21!

LOL!

The Beast definitely has a bigger set of nads.

[eccl1212]

I was surprised to NOT see Lance Armstrong on the list of tough guys.

[Malesherbes]

I've never heard of most of them; my fault not theirs, but I'm glad Mel Gibson is there. On the evidemce of his film roles, he would appear to have physical courage, but one thing is sure - he has moral courage.

[al baby]

Lynn Russell is one bad as

For once, a post reflecting the true american spirit. Sans #25 of course. That biatch should run into Steve Hakala, the bush pilot in Alaska.

Cool post! Thanks!

[socal_parrot]

Dang, I just missed again this year. Can't believe I was knocked off the list by Hillary.

[NittanyLion]

Agreed. I'm not sure you can put Tyler Hamilton on there and not Lance. Sure, three weeks on a cycle riding on a broken collarbone is tough, but not like overcoming frickin' cancer to win five straight Tours!

[blackdog]

Who was that baseball pitcher who recovered from bone cancer, to only throw so hard that he snapped off his own arm?

How about Jeff Abbot?

How about that guy I met years back serving perogies out of a roadside stand? His hand was wrapped in a bloody towel. I asked him what happened? He explained to me that he had been baleing hay in the afternoon and had three fingers ripped off in the baler. He was manning the family perogie stand while his wife was picking up some local anesthetic from the vet so she could sew up the sockets.

She's more man then I'll ever be. She's probably had more women as well.

Just the thought of that creature being more anatomically endowed than us sends a shiver down my spine.....

[The KG9 Kid]

Though I'm a Packers fan and admirer of Brett Favre I believe that if they're going to give the #1 spot to an NFL player, the man they should have named is Oakland Raider linebacker Bill Romanowski. I don't even see Romo on the list, which invalidates the list entirely in my opinion.

Romo has five Super Bowl rings, played for 16 seasons without missing a game, was never on a disabled list that caused him to miss a start, and I saw him put a vicious sack on Brett Favre in the Broncos/Packers Super Bowl XXXII that a visibly shaken Favre never recovered from giving John Elway's team the win.

Romo is by far tougher than Brett Favre. That's a fact.

[Pukin Dog]

Give me a break.

Strap anyone one of these "tough" people in the back seat of an F-14, and I could render them unconcious in 30 seconds. These people play games.

Ask one of them to hump a 50 pound pack with Special Forces with one meal a day from a can. Ask anyone of them to do what they do for what Marines get paid.

Spare me.

[NittanyLion]

Romo is by far tougher than Brett Favre. That's a fact.

I'm guessing they're not into promoting 'roids...

[sarasmom]

Just a little nit picking about the article.
It lacks a disclaimer.
I would suggest something like the following:
In writing an article like this, it is obvious we dont really mean the ACTUAL 25 toughest men in the USA.We did not even draw from the ACTUAL 1,000,000 toughest men in the USA to make up this list.We just mean the 24 men who have had their 15 minutes or better of fame, and we think are cool.Plus the punch line.
There, now I feel better!LOL!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

How about that rock climber who cut off his own arm to save his life?

[quark]

Amen. With the exception of the Marine DI listed, any SEAL, Ranger, Green Beret, Force Recon, PJ, or other Spec Ops oudoes this bunch. And that's from a fellow Tomcat bubba.
