worth a read, only lists the greatest from 1970 to present. I have no problem with that. If you arent 70 years old and didnt see the guy play you would have no idea. The only sport you can kinda of get a good feel for the type of player a guy was back in 1920 is baseball. There are distinct eras such as when things like adjustments to the ball, mound, or stadiums were made. Its a snap to compare a player to his peers as well.
Football not so much, game has changed drastically over the last 50 years, they didnt even record sacks till 1981. Anyhow a list my brother should love. Robb please start at 50 read each one and I think you will notice 4 players on there and commence didiling yourself.
See what happens when Dr. Z has a stroke, GOOD journalism is written.
