I think LDT should be in strong consideration for #1 best back ever because he could run with the ball extremely well, and also was very good at catching it.

So, either Brown or Tomlinson is my pick for BOAT.

LT not having a championship hurts him I think. That 06 Chargers team was stacked and should have won it all.

But yeah he’s a freak... a little better than Marshall Faulk

LT being a little bitch keeping his helmet with dark ass visor and coat on most of the game sitting on the bench well Rivers play with a torn ACL against the Patriots in the 07 AFC game was when he was exposed as nothing special to me. Great player. Now win factor.

Here's a link to an article that brings it up Question 2 on the list and look at the answer. Pathetic imo.

The season before I think he played through an injury and went off for a couple TDs and 200 all purpose yards. They still lost.

That team was a house, should have won a championship

Allen Iverson said that the 1996 draft class is the best ever, better than 1984 and 2003. I think he's right.


Top 4s

1984 Hakeem, Jordan, Barkley, John Stockton

2003 LeBron, Wade, Melo, Bosh

1996 - Kobe, Ray Allen, Iverson, Nash,

Barry Sanders is my favorite of all time but Jim Brown is the best to ever run the ball. Dude was unstoppable back in the time with less sophisticated passing attacks and everyone knew that he was going to get the ball on most plays.

Rachael Blackmore is first female jockey to win Grand National, on Minella Times



As she has so often over the last few weeks, Rachael Blackmore did everything right here in the Grand National, and with a generous and willing partner in Minella Times and a little racing luck to help her on her way, it was enough to secure the first ever victory by a female jockey in the world’s most famous and demanding race. “I don’t feel male or female,” she said, a few seconds after pulling up. “I don’t even feel human, I feel unbelievable.”

In all, 32 horses with female riders had gone to post for the National before, and only Katie Walsh, who finished third on Seabass in 2012, had finished in the first four. Few had lined up with as strong a chance as Blackmore aboard Minella Times, however, and she seized the opportunity with a polished, impeccable National ride, getting a position and a rhythm while saving ground towards the inside on the first circuit before joining issue towards the head of the field with over a mile still to run.

The outsider Jett had led for much of the way and jumped the Canal Turn for the second time at least 10 lengths clear. Blackmore, though, was poised at the head of the chasing pack, along with Patrick Mullins, on Burrows Saint. Discorama, Balko Des Flos – like the winner, trained by Henry de Bromhead – were also ready to pounce as Cloth Cap, the 11-2 favourite, suddenly dropped away from a prominent position.

Blackmore was able to pick her moment, moving alongside Jett on the run to the second-last before jumping it half-a-length to the good. Another good jump from Minella Times at the last saw her set off towards the Elbow two lengths in front and Minella Times did not falter as Blackmore drove the 11-1 chance on towards a historic success.

Remember the Poker boom of the mid 2000's. The WSOP would air non stop on ESPN. It's actually how I learned how to play.
