Co-creator or Schoolhouse Rock. I still love to watch these sometimes, the songs they had were all pretty good, at least for me.

Didn't see this coming. Was never a fan because he was a Steeler back when they were in the same division as the Oilers, but there's no question he was a great player.

If there were a Mt. Rushmore of Global Sports Icons, Pele would be on it. I doubt there has ever been a more famous or more celebrated athlete in the world.
I was just thinking about that, and totally agree. Back when he was playing in New York even I, a kid from South Texas that was playing football (our football), knew who he was and how damn good he was at his sport (reading Sports Illustrated did help with that I admit).

I was triggered by this comment. Muhammad Ali sprung to my mind instantly . He had some controversies though so you could be right.
I rank Michael Jordan pretty high on that short list as well, but I suppose he wasn't quite the global phenomenon.
Those are the other two I'd have on the mountain. They may very well be on Pele's level of recognition and adoration, but I have a hard time thinking there's something beyond that, at least for athletes.
