You are correct again Busy the stats don’t lie.

16 total td’s as a Saint over a 3 year span.

He also managed to stockpile 2 receiving td’s over 3 years.

He also had 20 total fumbles as a Saint.

And had 1 carry for over 40 yards.

Now lets look at what I originally said:

He didn’t possess any breakaway speed.

He was not threat at all to receive out of the backfield.

He constantly fumbled

I think I summed that up accurately the first time.

Ok....

Look at the rushing yards.

Nuff said.


I point out tons of negative stats on Emmit Smith and he was a Cowboy (I'm a Redskins fan btw).

He still wouldn't be mediocre.

How can a player be mediocre when on most analysts lists is(was) in their top 10.

This is just another one of those things we’ll never agree on. Add it to the list.

I never liked the guy from day one. Ditka putting the dreadlock wig on and all of that mess was ridiculous. Then the little incident I spoke of earlier with the towels during his rookie season turned me off for good on him.

I still don’t think he’s all that great and I wouldn’t give two of the Saint’s current running backs (Deuce McAllister) for him.

LOL oops... that was how many of his own he recovered

My bad

But Sanders never shoulda retired if you ask me. He would have been leading all the career rush stats.

What the hell does that have to do with his rushing stats?!!!

I don't like Kobe Bryant worth 2 shits.
He's impersonable and even was a loner in high school.
If he broke both of his legs and couldn't play ever again I wouldn't care.

It's undeniable though that he is a great player.

All I know is that Ricky Williams made a dumb foolish, selfish mistake. He had so much potential, and he just threw it down the drain over marijuana. What an idiot

Agreed except the selfish part.

He doesn't owe his team anything.

He failed a drug test for the third time. That’s sad.

I’ll never understand why people who have everything they can dream of have to turn to drugs.

.....and then complain they are not free enough.

If he thinks giving up that paycheck though then oh well.

Personally I think he's a talented idiot.

You see what happened with Quincy Carter?

The Cowboys told him to go fuck himself. They could have gave him a 4 game suspension.

From what the guys on ESPN were saying it sounds like Dallas was looking for a reason to get rid of Carter. I don’t see why. Testaverde is washed up and can’t do much but hand the ball off and Drew Henson who hadn’t played football in a few years. This is going to come back and bite them in the ass.

B- Off subject do you ever play fantasy football? I play every year and I thought if there was enough interest here we could get our own league.
