and then you can pick the rest... it aint even close for me. And I saw them all except J. Brown, just got to see replays. He was bigger than his lineman, way ahead of the curve. But I cant call him the best because of the lack of speed and size of the guys trying to tackle him.

Earl Campbell was the most punishing runner I have ever seen. And the poor guy can barely walk now. Never forget when he completely layed Isiah Robertson out, an Allstar LB for the Rams.

1) Walter Payton
2) Gale Sayers (I must be biased w/ my first 2 picks)
3) Jim Brown
4) Barry Sanders
5) LT - sorry, he's shooting up the charts.
6) Franco Harris
7) Tony Dorsett
8) Earl Campbell
9) Emmitt Smith
10) OJ - I guess - I still remembering his comments that "Walter Payton would never be a top 5 RB.' (Ok-he's actually ranked 6th)

With Bo I always have to wonder.

How about Neal Anderson's facial expression during one of Dikta's tirades?

Now get this.

Grossman became the first Bears QB to start the entire season since Erik Kramer did it in 1995.

I'm with you. The defining moment for me was seeing him break a linebackers ankle... without touching the guy. Sanders was the best.

Give me Gayle Sayers as my top choice. After that:

Barry Sanders
Eric Dickerson
OJ Simpson
Jim Brown

Man o man there are too many to list. Do you go with talent or do you go with production? But if I was going to start a team and could pick any back I would pick these in order.

1) Barry Sanders (Scary how good he was in spite of the Lions)
2) Walter Payton (Sweetness....nuff said)
3) Gale Sayers (tons of talent)
4) Jim Brown (changed the game)
5) Eric Dickerson (smoothest runner ever)
6) John Riggins (anyone that can tell Sandy Baby to lighten up needs to run with the ball)

lighten up sandy baby, you're too tight. ah, those were the days!! we always muted the tv and listened to radio--frank, sonny and sam, rather than suffer thru pat somerall and tom brookshire. besides, that way you could hear the diesel horn when john took off.
touchdown washington redskins.
