best football player for ever?

Barry was superb.

Saw him play many times-the best place to watch him was from the end zone.

He and Gale Sayers were easily the most shifty and elusive players ever, period.

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.

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.

He broke three Superbowl records that year.

If memory serves it was longest rushing, longest individual TD and most individual points, but it was a long time ago and I was rather drunk. For some reason they played the game in the middle of the night, absolute madness.

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.


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.

Are you talking about american football?

Are you talking about american football?

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!
