25 Toughest Guys in America
Check out the list at https://www.mensjournal.com/feature/0403/toughguys.html
Tyler Hamilton is #12, and Lance isn't even on the list. Mel Gibson somehow beat out Tyler. I officially call BS on this list.

It's Men's Journal. It's all about image... not substance. What did you expect?

I think the list is semi resonable. Mel for example while taping Braveheart went thorugh quite a bit of pain as he did in the first two Mad Max films. Much more than Tyler did while riding his bike with a broken bone.
I say this largely because my right ankle has been broken now for about 20 years and I still ride. I also ride with torn lumbar muscles and torn lateralus dorsi muscles. Not to mention other things. I am not however tryong to blow a horn.
I did however applaud the nominaton of Scott Stevens. I have mentioned his name here in other threads a few times as one of the toughest men I know.

Brett Favre is one tough MFer.
I may cut my arm off to get loose from a situation. I am in no way a tough guy though. It's a survival instinct, that's all.

With a few exceptions, I think they left one key word out of the article title. I believe it should read, "The 25 Toughest Looking Guys in America".

I maybe wrong, but somewhere I read that Mel was just about beaten into a coma at one point of his life.
Regardless, the list is somewhat accurate, and don't forget we are talking about people in the US where bicyclists get almost zero respect. We'll see if the new IMAX Tyler movie changes this at all.
Cheers
