    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>My biggest problem with the list is Deion Sanders....how was he revolutionary? Is the league filled with fleet cover men that have no interest in contact?</div>
    God help me... I never thought I'd find myself EVER defending Peon Sanders, but his stats over the years were pretty darned good...

    From Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deion_Sanders#Legacy

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>All told, Sanders intercepted 53 passes for 1,331 yards (a 25.1 yards per return average), recovered 4 fumbles for 15 yards, returned 155 kickoffs for 3,523 yards, gained 2,199 yards on 212 punt returns, and even caught 60 passes for 784 yards. Sanders amassed 7,838 all-purpose yards scored 22 touchdowns: 9 interception returns, 6 punt returns, 3 kickoff returns, 3 receiving, and 1 fumble recovery. His 19 defensive and return touchdowns are an NFL record. He was selected to eight Pro Bowls in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999. He was also awarded the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award in 1994.</div>
    The site also points out that Sanders essentially never attended an NFL training camp because of his baseball playing until 1996.

    Sanders revolutionized the fact that a player could thrive on fornication being his drug. LOL

    Dunno why that's a laughing matter, but he wasn't the first athlete to have that problem....think Wilt Chamberlain.
