umm, no Cowboys on my list, so your 1st 2 are out! Keep in mind I kept the homer aspect out by not considering any Bills
I think the 2 I proposed are some universally respected figures regardless of the team they played for... and trust me, I am no fan of the BEars, but these are 2 of the greatest and CLASSIEST RB's of all time IMO.
I still get choked up watching Brian's Song ;)!
And Sweetness, I'm sorry, but the guy was ALL class, hard not to love him as a player and a person.
I can't honestly say I've seen much of what Jim Thorpe did, just a wee bit before my time
, I've seen a lot of Sayers video clips and grew up watching Payton, so thus my proposal ;).
