That's the way it should be, even though that means I have to recognize teams that I (ahem) am less than thrilled to show any positive aspects of.

i don't have time to think of an entire list now but the first one would be:

Aikman, Troy

Isn't he still the Bucs all-time leading scorer? I am TRULY sorry I neglected to list him, and so I owe a BSLOS for it:

"In you I feel so hungry,"
In you I crash cars."

CaptainSolo seems to have a Buffalo Bills flavor to the list... no OJ instead of Bruce? Tasker over Thurman?

Man, the 90's Bills are my favorite teams ever. Thanks for noticing, BCJ! I eliminate OJ from all lists based on his...uhhh...."off-field antics". I would have loved to have had Thurman Thomas on that list, but Steve Tasker is probably my favorite player ever and I feel his play better warrants his name on the list. Thomas was good, Tasker was GREAT.

But how could he have forgot about Don Beebe?

I thought of that after the list was done and in my laziness never went back to edit it. Besides, I have "Easy" Ed McCaffery and Steve Largent on my list. Two white wide recievers is enough.
