think there is definitely some age barriers working here....some of the older guys really got the shaft on this, I have a feeling that there are some "kids" that just don't remember or even know who some of the ones that got knocked out were...

But, it is all in fun...one note: I didn't like OJ's slashing style...hard to vote for him. :sarcasm

Current battles:

Red Grange vs. Bronco Nagurski

Earl Campbell vs. Eric Crouch

Vince Young vs. Mike Rozier

Ron Dayne vs. Barry Sanders

Jim Thorpe vs. Lawrence Taylor

No offense, but as good as Eric Crouch was in college, how is d!(k Butkus not in the conversation. The man was a monster at linebacker.
