To answer you question first, Hoss - no I don't find it classless. I find it kinda humorous, and 100% correct. Perhaps if I held the popular opinion that Rice is the self appointed king of all WR's, it might rub me the wrong way. I guess.
Rice is one of the greats - there's no denying that. But in fairness the amazing fortune of being placed on one of the greatest offenses in NFL history for that dream career should weighted into the formulation.
In a lot of people's eye's, the stats he amassed make him the greatest. Fine.
Zennatta had a hand-picked, dream career too. Is she the greatest of all time? Ever try to argue against that point with a Zennatta fan?
The fervor seems eerily paralleled.
