"Tripped" implies that Eli was a klutz who fell over his own feet, not that Chad Lavalais planted an Ole Miss lineman on his foot.

SERIOUSLY. If he hadn't been hurt so much he could've been one of the GOAT
No he would have been THE GOAT. He's still up there imo even after all the injuries. Ken Griffey Jr. in his prime is the greatest baseball player I have ever watched. Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers every year, would have won multiple MVPs, and would have demolished the HR record w/o the use of steroids. A-Rod/Pujols would have never met the bar he would have set...800+ HRs easily AND would have had 3000+ hits. Dude was insanely good

What if Carroll Rosenbloom doesn't trade the Colts to the Irsay family for the LA Rams?
Most of the Colts' problems in Baltimore can likely be laid at the feet of Irsay Sr. being a tremendous fricking drunk.

OH, or what if Eric Dickerson had accepted the Camaro (or Firebird?) from A&M and had gone there instead? Would A&M be screwed?
ETA: Nope, it was a Trans-Am.

What if the UGA WR had caught the TD pass in the 2011 SEC Championship Game and put LSU down 17-0 at halftime?

Hell what if Ole Miss had a decent kicker? They win that game.

That's right, Phil has finished in the top five of 21 of the 74 Majors (28.4%) he has played in as a professional.
To put that in perspective and show just how dominant Tiger has been, Tiger has finished in the top five 29 out of 55 times (52.7%) of his major starts as a pro.

Some other A-list celeb would have front row seats at Laker games.
But, Nicklaus has 19 2nd place major finishes in addition to his 18 wins.
