Adrian Peterson(east tx,baby).

don’t forget BOOMER SOONER!!!

AD and Roy Williams are my favs, not only because they played at OU, but because they are phenomenal athletes.

I like Vernon Davis a lot also, great player and a beast of a man.[/quote]

yeah…and speaking of Sooner’s,I EXPECT Curtis Lofton to be a beast a beast next year.

Antonio Cromartie. A phenomenal(sp?) athlete and every time he touches the ball there’s the potential for a defensive score.

LT!

Ahh, glad someone threw up a giants player here! Lawrence Taylor was the man. His cameo in The Waterboy was pretty funny, too. :wink:

I’m a fan of Michael Strahan… Even more so since he lost 20 lbs and pressures QB’s all fuckin game.[/quote]

Definetly LT (#56). Strahan, Osi but yea I’m a giants fan. Basically anyone that gets alot of sacks: Freeney, Merriman.

Concrete Charlie aka…Charles " Chuck" Bednarik

I loved Cromartie coming out of college. The Chargers pretty much blindly drafted him (he’d been injured for so long), but they knew he was a great player and didn’t worry too much about him physically.

Cromartie’s awesome! Did you see his run back on Sunday, that unfortunately was called back on a holding call? He had the flu last week and was getting IV’s up till game time. He said he almost collapsed by the time he reached the end zone.

Plus, don’t forget he holds a record that can never be beaten, a run back of 109 yards.

The Chargers took a gamble in signing him, but he’ll be an impact player for years in San Diego…assuming the Chargers are staying in San Diego. :slight_smile:

dudes… Marion Barber is the ultimate running back. It takes 4 people to take him down, and he still trys to get that extra yard at the end. Ive never seen a more powerful runner in my life.

Barber is easily one of the best in the league. Probably would have led the NFL in rushing yards if he carried a full load this year. He’s going to put up huge numbers next season.

Being that I’m a Chargers fan, Tomlinson is my favorite player. I like Michael Turner (Tomlinson’s backup) a lot too. He’ll be a very good starting running back for whoever signs him next year. Shaun Phillips (OLB) is also up there even though he doesn’t get the hype that Merriman gets.

LT/Merriman/Cromartie/Jammer/ and i like Gerrard too

He runs hard as hell and gives total effort. I am not a Cowboys fan but I love to watch him run.

Joey Harrington.

Yeah…unfortunately those that run that hard have a history of not playing long…Earl Campbell,Bo Jackson,etc. But their “trail of destruction” is always remembered.

Anyways,in one play against NY were Barber met Kavika Mitchell in the hole was close to being 1:05 of this video…amazing.

Tomlinson of course. Luis Castillo the defensive lineman of the Chargers. I also like Hines Ward a lot because the guy always seems to give it his all and always has a smile on his face. Brett Favre is very likeable for obvious reasons. I like Peyton Manning ever since his great SNL performance.

I like a lot of players, phenomenal athletes. I do agree I get tired of the antics of some of the players, jumping up and down and celebrating like they won the superbowl after they tackle a guy after a 6 yard gain.

Agreed. Ill throw Ahman Green in the mix, Nick Barnett and their new stud Ryan Grant…the kid is fucking amazing. All my favorite players, oh and Tom Brady, that guy is a fucking monster.

Drew Bledsoe. Classiest guy ever, plus he lifted my Patriots out of mediocrity when we drafted him. He’s definitely the only player I followed/wished he’d do well after he left the pats.

Nobody’s mentioned Flutie. C’mon, best QB ever. Hands down.

And we should also thank Bledsoe for getting hurt and allowing Brady to take over. Best thing to ever happen to the Pats.

And what about Wes Welker? He’s the Pats version of Dustin Pedroia. Little guy, not to be underestimated.

Mariom Barber, this guy is so fun to watch. Yes I am a dallas fan, yes I cried last sunday.

Brain Dawkins! an absolute warrior. Longevity and some of the best hits I’ve ever seen.
