Might as well go for the trifecta! Top 5 Football players of ALL TIME! IN ORDER! 1. Jim Brown 2. Jerry Rice 3. Walter Payton 4. Lawrence Taylor 5. Johnny Unitas Who's yours?
Jim Brown <font size="1">(nuff said)</font> Jerry Rice <font size="1">(any questions?)</font> Barry Sanders <font size="1">(when he was on, there was not stopping him)</font> Deacon Jones <font size="1">(old school, bust ya in ya ass)</font> Joe Montana <font size="1">(the standard)</font> Ray Lewis <font size="1">(best defender ever IMO)</font> Lynn Swann <font size="1">(poetry in motion)</font>
I'm sorry, if you don't have Jim Brown in your top five, you just don't get it. I myself have never seen him play in person, but from what I've read and seen, and from the numbers he put up in only 8 seasons of 12 games each, he's gotta be considered when discussing the best ever.
Study the game, listen to the players talk...they will tell you that Jim Brown was the greatest football player and overall one of the best athletes ever. Was one of the best lacrosse players at that time too. Speed, power, qucikness, toughness, never missed a game, alweays got up the same way after any hit, big or small. The man was unbreakable.
I mis-read the list, I thought it was your top 5 favorite players of All-Time. In which case, Jim Brown would be on my list. And so would LT.
What does everyone think of the two trades that are gonna go down in the next day or so.... Keyshawn Johnson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded to Dallas for Joey Galloway Champ Bailey of the Washington Redskins and a 2nd round pick traded to Denver for Clinton Portis I think the Portis trade will work for both teams. Denver grows running backs like Pittsburgh growns linebackers. Champ wasn't gonna stay in Washington past this year anyway, so at least they got somethin for him.

I think it was the 51st overall pick. Thats a steal. Just goes to show how desperate the Niners were to get him out of town. Are the Browns going to make any moves? Its a shame that the Rams franchised Pace, he would have been a huge pick up for us.
I can't believe the Ravens got TO for just a 2nd rounder. According to John Clayton on ESPN, the Browns were one of the teams that were contacted about a possible trade. It doesn't look like the Browns have any money to spend right now. That's hard to believe since there are really no big time players on the roster. It seems that Couch is gone. If they're able to get Garcia and Henson that wouldn't be bad. Garcia is a decent starter and Henson can develop behind him for a couple of years.
I have no hate for the Raven franchise, great move and I look forward to seeing them play. Ray Lewis is a football icon.
