I was happy as shit when I saw Von Pea rocking the Oakley jersey in that one video... dude is one of my favorite B-Ball goons for real

Ant Mason would have been on my "Hon. mention" Knicks list, too just on GP

but definitely Oak.

In his prime he was a good rebounder and had that ugly but dependable outside jumper.

I mean, outside the name & maybe their pop's/older-brother's '86 season commerative VHS/DVD?

That's like me with Bake McBride or something: love the fro, the nickname, World Series ring, a few headfirst slide clips & web gems but I don't actually remember what it was like to watch him play.

I remember watching the 86 World Series and oroscos glove bein thrown in the air and asking my pops if it ever came down a few years later lol

1. Barry Sanders
2. Jason Hanson
3. Calvin Johnson
4. Mel Gray
5. (rotating cast)

Barry...nothing more really needs to be said. More than any player in NFL history, he was truly one-of-a-kind. There has never been another player who can do what he could do, and I can't think of another player who can make that claim. He's easily the greatest back I've ever seen play (peace to Jim Brown). He helped shape me as a man, no joke.

Hanson is a fucking G. If we go into the season with David Fucking Akers instead of #4 because of a few hundred thousand geld, I will mutiny. We need to get him a win in Lambeau before he hangs 'em up (0-21 in Green Bay, I believe).

What few people seem to appreciate about Calvin is how much of a fucking pro he is. He works as hard or harder than anyone else on the team. He plays hurt and never mentions it. He is a class act on and off the field, and represents the team in an era where we can't seem to stop waving guns around and driving drunk and naked through Wendy's drive-thrus.

Mel Gray was Barry on special teams. Just electrifying. As a young cub, it struck me as amazing that we could have 2 guys who were the best in the league at their respective positions. Two! What a bounty of riches. ::sigh::

Stafford will be on this list in a couple years, or I don't know shit about football. Other names considered for the fifth spot were the two-headed monster of Moore and Perriman, Scroggins, Porcher (truth be told, it's probably Porcher), Spielman, Boyd, Utley, Blades, Ball, and Steady Eddie Murray. The fact that I could have filled 3 of the 5 spots on this list with Special Teamers tells you all you need to know about the recent history of the Detroit Lions.

YARDS

Sanders
Calvin

Truthfully, my admiration of Rivaldo comes mostly from second hand tales, World Cup '02, Fifa, and the youtube era. I couldn't've watched Barcelona in 97 if I wanted to.

No matter how much he pissed me off. I was so happy when he came back in that trade.

I actually would have Reggie 3rd but I forgot about him and just added him in at 5. Devastated when he passed away. I always remember where I was when I heard he collapsed and when he passed.

Rondo over Paul Pierce, interesting. How did it feel to see Antoine do the shimmy in that Heat jersey and what do you feel about his somewhat recent financial issues?

My list should be this:
>1. Larry Bird
>2. Antione Walker
>3. Reggie Lewis
>4. Rajon Rondo
>5. PP

I thought of Reggie too late and just adding him at 5. Rondo is starting to wear on me though and I think I appreciate PP more as he gets older so those could easily flip flop.

Like I said above, I loved Antione no matter how dumb he was or how ill advised he played. Sad to see him struggling though.

The Heat thing didn't bother me, doesn't hurt to see my favorite guys move on too much as I now realize its business more than anything.

Reggie White (#1)
Brian Dawkins
Donovan McNabb
Randall Cunningham
DeSean Jackson (it was a hard pick over B-West, Shady et al... but the Giants Ether Game placed him there)


Trott and Watters are good choices. Though the latter kind of has a bit of that "T.O." rep, he was the best RB the Eagles had for a long while until the days of Duce, B-West and Shady

Jason Avant is actually an honorable mention. He isn't a league leader by any means, but the catches he does make are ridiculous. He also had a pretty understated role in the aforementioned Giants Ether

I left off Dawkins, Jerome Brown and Westbrook who would be on many people's top 5.

My honorable mentions would be Keith Jackson, Keith Byars and Seth Joyner.

And that DeSean Jackson play maybe my top favorite Eagle play ever. Not only was it a great play, I take great in seeing rivals in agony. Coughlin lost his shit which made that play even more wonderful.

actually, that rebound from the team was the GOAT.

the one game that had me drinking the Kool-Aid. All that time in the Eagles history under Reid... if Andy ever let a rival get the Eagles that far down the hole... it was over.

Everyone, Vick, the defense... and especially DeSean with that impossible run. He muffed it at first.

I'm surprised more Eagles fans don't have Seth Joyner on the list. He was a beast and the linchpin of those monster Buddy Ryan defenses.

>I'm surprised more Eagles fans don't have Seth Joyner on the
>list. He was a beast and the linchpin of those monster Buddy
>Ryan defenses.

I didn't want the list to be overrun with Buddy Ryan's guys (or even Andy's guys), but I debated putting either him, Jerome, or Clyde on that list.

and he's dropped multiple balls in the end zone while calling bullshit meetings when being sure-handed was his hallmark early in his career.

He's past the sell-by date with this team.

Made some crazy catches (I was actually in person for the grab in San Diego-the lefty one-hander sideline one......sickest catch I've seen live) & was a solid possession receiver early in his career but we didn't keep Greg Garrity around for seven years plus make him a captain.

Think that's more a commentary on how little actual leadership this team has had in the last couple Reid years.

Anyway tho, your list reminds me I probably should have put Desean on mine.

but I am glad to have had him as an Eagle. he was what Freddie Mitchell stubbornly refused to be, a possession receiver. DeSean is what Freddie Mitchell was supposed to be.

But Andy sucked ass at drafting WRs, in general.

Starting in '06's draft Avant was good value in Round 4, Desean was an absolute steal in '08 in Round 2 & Maclin (while I wasn't crazy about it plus there is folks under him you could make cases for) was at least a solid pick.

1. Brian Dawkins
2. Randall Cunningham (probably strong memories as a kid clouding my judgement here)
3. Eric Allen (ill never forget his amazing '94 season)
4. Brian Westbrook
5. Troy Vincent

6. Donovan McNabb (greatest Eagle next to B-Dawkins since the early 90s, but kind of a flaky personality that makes it hard to really love him like that)
7. Sheldon Brown
8. Duce Staley
9. Tra Thomas/ Jon Runyan
10. Shady McCoy

I've got a soft spot for a lot of other guys like David Akers, Bobby Taylor, Byron Evans, Chad Lewis, Fred Barnett, Jeremiah Trotter, Brent Celek, Mark McMillan, Leonard Weaver, DJax, and so many others. I only remember Reggie White for about 2 seasons so I kept him off despite him being one of my all time favorite players.

If we were to include guys before our time, but have studied, than I'd probably have Concrete Chuck as #1.
