I dont like Favre, he gets talked about so mcuh no matter what the situaiton is. Even when GB's on defense hes getting credit for stuff

"Only Favre, could of made that play"

Also when he was about to dive for a first down but saw a defender comign his way so he jsut flipped the ball to his WR, even tho he was like 8 yards past the line of scrimmage, and all the announcers said something like "Favre is jsut having fun out there, thats so funny" He was afraid to take a hit for his team to maybe get a first down, so he bailed out on his team, but even when he makes a sissy play he gets credit, that bothered me.
 
mines:

Houston CB Dunta Robinson-we both hail from the same state *thumbs up*
Minny WR Troy Williamson-see above
Julius Peppers-an amazing football player, plus I like Carolina
Tomlinson-beat the small-school stigma and is an amazing runner
Farve-what can I say? he's great
 
Tomlinson

Ed Reed (eventhough I hate the Ravens and Hurricanes)

Steve McNair

Al Wilson (best MLB in the NFL, IMO)

Julius Peppers (the true "Freak" IMO)
 
Favre: Just cool dude to watch play, plays 100% at all times. Tough as nails.

Darrell Green, CB, Commanders: Can't stand the team, but he is as classy as they come. Played the game with lots of heart and intelligence.

Ray Lewis: Brings passion to the defense that Irvin would bring to our offense back in the day. Just watching Lewis go nuts in pregame gets me ready for some football.

Tomlinson: Gamebreaker, period. Can score from anywhere. Awesome talent.

Ed Reed: Playmaker on defense and brings it on special teams as well. Surronded by plenty of talent, but this guy can flat out play. Tackles well and is a ballhawk with plenty of speed to take it the other way for 7.

I dislike every player in the NFL other than Cowboy players.

So, I'll have to dig into the past....and even then, the only ones I can come up with are guys who never played the Cowboys because they played in the old AFL.

Joe Namath- fastest release, EVER. And as tough as any player to ever play the game.

Lance Alworth- poetry on the grid iron

Jim Nance- the original BIG RB.

Otis Taylor- the physical prototype for WR's who would come along 35 years later.

Thats BS, Farve needs to shut his trap and let players get paid. Qbs notoriously get there money pre-mature, why shouldn't everybody else? Nice role model and team player, "Mr. Its Not My Job To Help A Rookie".

Actually, it's "Mr. It's not my job to get the rookie ready to play." And he's right, but he also said anytime Rogers wanted advice or help, all he needs to do is ask.

And as far as him keeping his mouth shut, I believe he's earned the rigth to call out antone he wishes. Besides, he may have already got his money, but he earned it first unlike rookie QB's these days.

Also..."why shouldn't everybody else?", It's called a salary cap. And QB's are at the top of the totum pole...Oh well.

That's an interesting list, Juke. Love it because we share some of the same football memories.

I loved Namath, and I think Marino's release rivaled it....used to battle with Phins fans over that one..they refuse to believe anyone was ever in Dan's passing class. I've only seen two QBs in my lifetime that I consider "great" (Marino and Montana, and neither is anything close to my favorite, favorite doesn't always have to be 'best', just what thrills you the most), but Namath had, in the days QBs called their own plays, a mastery of the passing game that is amazing by today's standards. He was also, despite the ravaged knees, surprisngly mobile in the pocket. Fouts was another one I liked a lot.

A few days after mentioning Bambi here a few weeks back, I was surprised to hear Tuna bring him up in a pc as an example of an inexplicable success. According to Bill, Alworth did 'everything wrong', including catching the ball against his chest. But he still just raced by everybody to the endszone. I don't remember what he did 'wrong', just how as a kid I delighted in watching him do it. I appreciate the big physical receivers from Taylor to Irvin to AJ too, but my receiver 'seal' was stamped by Alworth as child, and that is the type I have always preferred, just as Fran's scrambling marked mobility for me as an exciting QB characteristic I still want to see.

Nance was certainly BIG, and this is a non-Cowboys thread, but Earl Campbell's thunder thighs epitomized the power running back to me. I remember Nance as being in the Larry Csonka mold, tho not quite as talented. The bigger runner I loved back then was Franco Harris.

I cheated by putting Duane Thomas on my list, but had to. He captured my running back imagination at an early age, just as Alworth and Fran did at their positions. I know OJ was faster on field, and Sanders was more than marginally the BEST, but DT was as (I think it was Chief's father said) like water rushing downstream over the river rocks. That was the best imagery I ever read on how he appeared on the field.

No one looks quite the same today, and I wonder if it's just that children watch the game with no technical understanding, but far more aesthetic appreciation. We adults get the science, but young eyes capture the art. I wish I could watch football again and just see the beauty and wonder again...now it's all tainted with stats and obscured with dissatisfaction. Eyes move to missed blocks and the mind to disappointment. So many high light reels defuse the senses.

Well, that's why they call it "nostalgia" , I guess. ;)
 
LT for sure, Also Kyle Turley. For the way he had Aaron Brooks back. I want all 53 members of my team to be like that. Also pat Tillman, who dropped football and all the money thats associated with that for the war. He died trying to defend what he believes in. Cant get much better then that. (Too bad we were the ones that shot him).
 
I'm surprised at all the love for LT? Coke head.

I find it hard to find any non-cowboys i like too.

Dan Marino maybe. I have a ton of respect for Favre, can't say i like or root for him though.
 
My favorites change from week to week. Week one of the reg season I'm a big fan of Vick as Atl faces Philly. Warner as he faces Giants and even our old boy Hutchinson as he faces Washington. I'll tell what other players I like in week 2 LOL
