What a joke...

Ray Lewis the 18th best football player ever??

Barry Sanders 17? Top 3 in my opinion

Kurt Warner The INT Machine even Made the list??

no charles haley?

LT 3? I would take Butkus over him all day..

Randy "i play when i wanna" moss??

A qb or Rb should be #1...receivers dont get the ball enough

If Terry Bradshaw didn't play for that Steelers team. none of us would know who he is? I say he doesn't belong in the top 100.

LT single handedly changed the way the game is played . You may not like him as person but he's easily in the top three .

As far as Ray Lewis , I'd take Derrick Brooks over him everyday .

Lt was great..im not saying he wasnt, but i do remember seeing alot of those sacks he got came from being unguarded due to how he lined up.

i also think ray lewis gets more credit because of his fierceness and hyper-active personality. is he really that much better of a lb than singletary?

a few thoughts:
michael irvin but no cris carter, art monk, steve largent,issac bruce,marvin harrison or andre reed?

ed reed but no polamalu?(probly spelled wrong i know)

joe "panty hose" namath?

notable ommissions: jim kelly, thurman thomas, morten andersen, dan fouts, eric dickerson, kevin green, bo jackson ( short career but still awesome)
