I was pretty young when I saw most of my pro football games/players, but I remember them well.

I secretly have a little Columbian Blue left in me, and always will. :cry:

Then you never saw Earl Campbell, did you?

He was a bad man, like Jim Brown, but eventually broke down physically, primarily from delivering punishment to would-be tacklers.

Jim Brown retired the year before the first Super Bowl was played.

Cleveland won the NFL title in '64, Brown retired in '66.

You had to see him to believe him.

Some backs had moves and speed, others had strength or instinct.

Brown it all, and in superior measure, too.

He literally did what he felt like doing on the field.

After his playing days he turned in to quite a good actor as well .

He's also a bit of a humanitarian, and a human being with many personal peccadilloes and weaknesses.

He has a bit of an anger management problem, and doesn't play well with certain others.

bullet bob hayes for the speed

Barry Sanders was the greatest running back to watch. All the speed and agility you could hope for in a single man.

If he were a double man, he'd have been twice as elusive, surely. :whistling


Just teasing.

I have very fond memories of Barry; we shared the same birthday, and he was very kind to my son on several occasions.

No. We talking about a proper sport, none of that 18-hour-long-matches-100-players-a-team-dressed-in-body-armour-because-they're-girls-advert-break-every-twenty-minutes crap here please.

Zinedine Zidane when he was on top. No one has ever been such elegant and beatuiful when he plays as Zidane!
