Who Cares?? Some Thoughts From Colonel Sanders on the NFL

I know I haven't written much lately, getting ready for a wedding is really taxing, but after seeing another one of ESPN's Page 2's lists I had a MJ Rage-A-Holic moment and needed to blow off some steam. ESPN put out a list of the top 50 players that it thinks will be carrying the football through the gates of Canton (after spiking on the tomb of William McKinley).

First off, there is no point for these lists, doesn't ESPN have anything more to talk about then projecting a list about something. Next they will make a list of the most likely NFL linemen to make a dooty in their pants after getting hit. ESPN please stop with these lists, they are not informative and none of us really care.

Second, players on the list are retarded. Of the top 10, I think that most of the players will make it to the HOF, but Adam Vinatieri?? Come on, did we get transported to Europe and get our footballs confused. This is not Pele...and to be #10 on this list above players like TO, Tony Gonzalez and Bernie Kosar is just ridiculous.

Next, why put players like Matt Leinert on this list. We are talking about football abilities not the ability to pick up a Hilton at a party. Having him on this list is absolutely ridiculous. If he was put on a team with no decent WRs, then he would be thrown in with the likes of Tim Couch. And why is TO #36th on this list. He might be an asshole but he has been by far in the top 2 of his position for the past decade. I would actually put him over Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt (#8 and #20) on this list.

Additionally, why put players that have never played onto this list. Calvin Johnson (someone who will probably get the curse of the Lions receivers) is #40. He could snap his patella tendons or get thrown in the Detroit River by angry Red Wings fans and never see one game again. The same goes with Adrian Peterson, who is #50. Sure they could be HOFers, but it is like me saying that the 9 year old at the Pee-Wee game I saw this past weekend would go into the Hall. He sure was juking like Barry Sanders and didn't seem to be touched going to the end zone.

Last, why leave The Thirteenth Earl of Bruce off this list (Isaac Bruce). He is only is #7 on the list of all time receptions and reception yards and was a part of one of the most fun teams to watch of the 90s.

Please ESPN stop doing these lists. Talk about the Barry Bond's dingleberries, Curt Schilling's nose hair, or Tom Brady's waxing lady but don't do these stupid lists. I know it is a slow sports season but I am sure that there are some things to cover.
