Ladainian Tomlinson.a no brainer his body of work of over the last 5 years speaks volumes about the kind of player he is .He needs no preseason practice to be dominant,
Adrian Peterson,look for him to have a even bigger year,than last if they get something out of Jackson ,and the passing game.
Larry Johnson when healthy is a workforce back,who is just as effective in the 4th quarter,as he is in the 1st quarter.
Stephen Jackson,is a big back who can catch the ball,and for a big guy has break away speed,in 2006 when he was healthy,his numbers were off the charts.
Maurice Jones Drew,if he didn't split time with Fred Taylor he would be a 1500 yard back ,50 reception,a threat on kick offs returns,he is one of the strongest runners to come along in a while.
Brian Westbrook,great runner,great reciever,a threat to take it to the house every time he touches it,and plays hurt most of the time.Theres no question about his toughness,he would be better if the eagles had a big play threat to stretch field.
Frank Gore enjoy him now because his running style ,is more Earl CAMPBELL than Barry Sanders, he wont be around long with the terrible offense he plays in in San Fran,he's always has been injury prone.
Clinton Portis,good back with still enough of break away speed, to go 60 yards on any carry,he should be better with the emerging Jason Campbell at qb,and a inventive offensive mind as head coach.
Willie Parker,lights out speed when healthy,a threat to to go house to house every time he touches it and he looks that way when he carries it.
Fred Taylor still effective still good for thousand yard seasons at 33 years old,still has break away speed.Very underrated. 10B. Joseph Addai
ALMOST BUT MAYBE IN 2009
Yes NO Marion Barber,strong and tough,you,need more than one great year to make the list.
Brandon Jacobs i need better endurnance less time on the did not play due to injury list
Ronnie Brown more work please,same goes for Lawerence Maroney,
ThIS GREAT Human Organization has killed way more dogs than Michael Vick,and wheres the outrage,where are the rigth wig groups,the left wing groups,where are the Jesse Jacksons, the Al Sharptons, the Russel Simmons, see since a large segment of the population has Mike Vick convicted,this same segment of the population should convict Peta.Who watches over them because there Bogus.
This organization Peta kills helpless,adoptable animals by the thosands out of sheer inconvience.Why do we take this organization serious in the first place is beyond me,Peta even has a contract WITH A NORFOLK AREA CREMATORY SERVICE to dispose of the dead bodies which measure over a ton each month.Do you know how much a ton is,and as soon as a famous face hurts a animal or is charged with a acrime they come out with there signs and blow horns ,trying to convict a man before he even has his trial.Once again, if Mike Vick wasn't famous this wouldn't made the papers, and once again I believe Mike Vick is guilty of some of the things he has been charged with, but Peta should be charged with cruelty,they take in animals and Murder Them, almost 15,000 since 1998.I thought they were suppose to find these animals homes thats ,thats B.S.
There's a Peta employee who is facing grand larceny charges in southern Virginia related to theft of a hunting dog.Peta is also 3 months overdue to report there 2007 numbers, you want to know why there late with there numbers, they don't want the public to get a hold of the information that they kill thousands of cats and dogs a year BUT ITS ALREADY OUT.PETA DOESN'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO CALL THEM HYPROCRITES OR FRAUDS, WHICH THEY ARE .Can't wait until the 2007 numbers are released , I say they will be released sometime after the trial is over ,there is money to make for this Great organization,and tons of free publicity.
PETA is no better than Michael Vick ,actually there worst,
My guess is L.Tomlinson is the highest paid running back ,i know he signed for 60 million a few years back.So why is it hard for KC to give LJ 59million or even inflate it to 70 million with 35 million in bonuses ,we know he won't see the full 70 million before they cut him or make him take a pay cut.He has 3 years left on his rookie contract but i he shouldnt play for 1 million when he is the second best running back in the league.Plus with all the defections on his o line he better get the money now,because there might be a drop off in 2007.The guy carried the ball 416 times he might have 2 good more years in him carrying the the ball that many times .
This shouldn't be hard, then again this is the NFL,where they cut guys who are productive so they don't have to pay them. See Keyshawn Johnson,
There are too many bad guys in the league making more than him and they shouldn't,and there are too many mediocre backs making more than him,i know timing plays a apart but this shouldn't be hard Carl Peterson.
Is Mike Vick a thug disquised as a nice guy,drug raids ,illegal warehousing of 60 dogs some in good shape some not.The bottle at the airport,the blowing off of Congress, burning chicks and using fake aliases,is he a thug.
Now Mike is fingering his family in this episode but the bottom line it's his house, now if it was me and i had 4 or 5 houses i would try to check up on them especially if i got a cousin who is a felon living in one of them.IS he a thug, I say he isn't ,but a young black man with rappers as friends,diamonds , nice cars, and speaks a lil broken english from time to time might be labeled a thug.Then to top it off he plays quarterback in the NFL.
I feel he just doesn't use good judgement, for some reason he thinks he isn't in the public eye.Mike cut off all the problem people in your life,it's going to be hard because from what i read you are close to you family and you try to help them out,but in this climate it doesn't take much to be considered a thug, gold ,t-shirt ,baggy jeans and timbs,or jordans and antennas go up .Thats just how it is in 2007 Mike ,blame the rappers but your running out of chances because your owner is getting fed up and your giving your GM ulcers because now there second guessing the trade that sent Matt to Houston .There thinking is maybe we traded the wrong one.They won't tell you this but there thinking it.
Now Mike this how it's going to go down,your going to pay fines u and your cousin,even though he might see time this isn't his first brush with the law.Your going to have to talk to the PETA people and say how sorry you are. Also have your family take all the weight and promise to take care of them because if your money stops everyone suffers, especially them.I pretty much believe your the one in the family that has money.
You probably face a suspension from Boss Hogg Goodell ,
Is he a thug, naw just dumb,then again people think Sebastion Telfair is a thug,and from 2 to 17 all he did is prepare for the N.B.A and was sheltered from the streets.
with the Colts while SOLDIERS ARE DYING OVER SEAS.Fighting in a country they have no business being in.This is my opinion ,but the climate is so violent here and around the world I don't know how he can be dancing with The Malaria Group and lauding a football team.Im just not in the mood to be dancing with all the stuff going on as far as our soldiers are concerned.It's nice the players were honored ,but half the players there don't like Bush, they put on there front and smile ,but if they could of voiced there opinions on the war without getting the backlash from the media it wouldn't of been so rosey at the White House.
I'm a supporter of our troops ,but i wondered how they felt when they saw Bush Dancing with the Malaria Group, and Partying with Peyton Manning.I'm sure some of them said this guy or MF is having a good time ,and I'M dodging bombs and landmines for what ,for what oh ,operation freedom,or what are they calling it the war against terrorism.By the way terrorism will always be around malaria too.
The ego of man never amazes me ,on one hand you have a coach who just won 14 games in the regular season Marty Shottenmirer,who is a successful head coach, a coach whose players like playing for him who has had a few struggles in the playoffs.On the the other hand you have a general manager A.J. Smith who didn't hire Marty in the first place who has had a running feud with his coach for at least 3 years.
You would think after the season they just had they would try to work out there difference s for the sake of the team and organization.Once again man and his ego has failed him,from what i read Marty extended a olive branch but Smith didn't want to work out there differences so why fire the successful coach in a time when your losing coaches by the boat load.
Gm's don't coach they sign people they make trades ,do you really think the players are behind Smith ,if you do think this then i guess you believe in the easter bunny to.The players could give a rats #### about the Gm ,they only want dealings with GMs when there contract is up.The timing is wrong and the owner is wrong for firing Marty,the organization is on the way up way up and you fire the coach.
IM 39,YEARS OLD A CASEWORKER ,S ECURITY GUARD AND IM FROM NEW JERSEY, AND I HAVE A PASSION FOR SPORTS ,BUT SOME THINGS REALLY TICK ME OFF AND IM GOING TO VENT FROM TIME TO TIME .IM LITERALLY GOING TO CAUSE A STORM ON MY BLOG.I USE CAPITAL LETTERS FROM TIME TO TIME AND THAT JUST SHOWS I HAVE PASSION LOVE FOR SPORTS.SO BARE WITH IT
