Top 5 Favorite Players of All Time
-
1) Reggie White - He beat you because he was just better. And his character as a player was unrivaled.
2) Barry Sanders - Would have rushed for 2500 yards a season if he'd had a competant offensive line.
3) Brett Favre - Fun, inpsiring and the epitome of toughness. Never seen anyone play a game with a broken finger on his throwing arm or win a game the day after his dad died like that.
4) Jim Brown - Got to have at least one Browns player in there, and there's no better Brown than Jim.
5) Adrian Peterson - I loved the picture of him with blood all over his pads, and it wasn't his blood. This kid is the real deal.

Gary Collins-the 1st pro athlete I ever got to meet in person (just a great guy)
Gale Sayers-the guy was like watch'n butter slide down a hot griddle,ya couldn't take your eyes off him
Bert Jones-You think Brett Farve is tough?how I used to wish this guy was a Brown like his dad
Walter Payton -see Gale Sayers
-
Dick Butkus--IMHO he epitomized hard nosed, NFL football!
Jimmy Brown--Greatest RB of all time!
Gale Sayers--Healthy & running in the same backfield with Jimmy...WOW!!
Dave Logan--Did he ever drop a pass? He always seemed to make the "money" catches.
Brian Brennan--The classic "over achiever"!

1) Walter Payton - I tried to play RB like him, and think he is one of the toughest to ever play in the NFL.
2) Jim Brown - The best to ever play the game.
3) Lawrence Taylor - Loved watching him eat QB's.
4) Barry Sanders - It was like watching Albert Belle at the plate - something good was going to happen.
5) Otto Graham - Ultmate QB. He was a winner, and did it in different ways.
Coaches:
1) Paul Brown - His teams were never outcoached or outprepared.
2) Vince Lombardi - See Brown, Paul
3) Bill Walsh - Guy had them all guessing, and could field a dominate defense.
4) Don Shula - You can't get the most wins ever, and have a perfect season capped with a Super Bowl, and not make the list. (fellow John Carrol grad, too)
5) Marv Levy - 4 straight Super Bowls, greatest comeback ever, and smarter than just about everyone on the planet.
I thought to put Noll on the list, but I hated him for far too long to come to grips with him making that list. Bastard.

Jim Brown....Best player ever
Otto Graham....he won
Dante Lavelli....my boyhood hero
Sonny Jergensen..prettiest pass the NFL has EVER seen
Doug Flutie....the underdog who wouldn't go away
-
Wow, this is tough.
1. Ozzie Newsome
2. Bernie Kosar
3. Frank Minnifield- the best CB that i've ever seen play for any team
4. Michael Dean Perry
5. Chip Banks- OC's feared him
Honorable Mention: Leroy Kelly- my childhood hero
Joe Namath- great arm and changed the game
It pains me to leave Jack Gregory, Clay Matthews, and Jerry Sherk off this list.
This is not a fair topic.

1. Barry Sanders so much fun to watch
2. Jerry Rice Got to meet him, shake his hand and now everything sticks to my right hand
3. Jim Brown too many yards too little time
4. Dan Fouts short passes? Puleeze!
5. Warren Beatty ooops you meant FOOTBALL players
-
Alright - I'm taking this in a different direction: My favorite non-Browns who caused pain to our enemies.
1. Neil O'Donnell - Super Bowl XXX was a delight to watch as the Steelers imploded. Images of this game still make me happy thanks to O'Donnell's interceptions. Add on to this that the Bengals thought he was a great steal as a veteran QB only to lead the team to a 3-13 finish. He was released for...
2. Akili Smith - ok, yes he beat us and taunted us. That's upsetting and he deserves to rot for these crimes. However, don't you just cackle with joy when you realize that the Bengals declined 9 draft picks from Ditka's Saints for their draft position because they were so sure that Akili would be their savior.
3. Bobby Layne - He may be hated for the way he played against the Browns, but he also cursed the Lions and sent them into an abysmal downward spiral... with such warlock powers one has to wonder whether he also muttered something about Cleveland...

Since I been ignoring this ill run place and just stopped by in my monthly tribute of my history, I found this thread exihilerating. That is a hard question to top five players ever. Since I stuck with with side of the ball that wins Championships here it goes
1. Jim Brown...........absolutely amazing right to end.......he was MVP the year he quit
2. Joe Montana........Joe Cool was the best clutch performer ever in football
3. Otto Graham........all he ever did was play in 11 championship games in 11 years.............need more I think not
4. Terry Bradshaw......say what you will every time the Super Steelers Steel Curtain needed a play he delivered.....four bowls the benchmark
5. John Elway...........won two bowls and lost two bowls............and yes made plays all day long every day
honorable mention
Johnny Unitas
Barry Sanders.......this guy is special
Sonny Jurgensen .......the greatest pure passer ever
Gale Sayers.........could have been even better than Brown if not a career ending injury
see yah all in a few months...........
Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -
Working only with players I've seen:
1. Bernie. Gave hope to all of us non-athletic types out there.
2. Eric Metcalf--His two-punt return TDs against the Steelers is still my favorite performance of all time.
3. Jerry Rice--Second best player in NFL history, and the only one in the same zip code as Jim Brown.
4. Derrick Thomas--The first non-Brown I ever followed with any real interest.
5. Tony Jones--A heck of a lineman, I'll always remember him running into the Dawg Pound to embrace the fans at the end of the last game at the Muni.
Dennis
Honorable mention to Steve Everitt for wearing his Browns bandana even after The Move.

Just out of curiosity, what are your "issues" with this place? Or, are your issues with the Browns?
