greysunnydays -> Football help? (9/29/2006 1:18:11 PM)
I need some help on football legends. I need names of several people that were amazing in the NFL years ago. All ranges would be awesome. If anyone could help me on this, I'd be eternally greatful! ^.^ I love football, but as for players names, well, I have no idea.

MASTERRocker -> RE: Football help? (9/29/2006 1:22:09 PM)
Joe Nameth, Emmitt Smith, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, just for starters... better yet - click on NFL.com and go to records = simple

Sometimes, I'm a little slow. LOL. I was trying to find pictures and didn't even bother looking at sites. ^.^. Thanks a lot

WOW!! Two women interested in football.... I am in Heaven too bad you both are too far away... 'smiles' MASTER Rocker

No one mentioned Jim Brown? Otto Graham? Johnny Unitas? George Blanda? Bronko Nagurski? Joe Montana? Those are only the greatest players who ever lived... On defense, I like Ray Nitschke and Dick Butkus. Jack Lambert & Lawrence Taylor were pretty good too, weren't they? Oh, and Alan Page. Edited because I misspelled "Nitschke."

That's why I had to add Lynn Swann and Terry Bradshaw.. if I didn't name a few Steelers she would kick my a**![;)][;)][;)] mbmbn

maybemaybenot -> RE: Football help? (9/29/2006 2:16:29 PM)
Gotta agree with ya on Brown and Unitas, LAM.. I thought the second poster said Montana, after I read back I saw it was Young. This was a hard field to narrow down... Butkus is right up there too as one of the greats. Didn't the term Monsters of the Midway have some relationship to Butkus ? mbmbn

Lordandmaster -> RE: Football help? (9/29/2006 3:01:34 PM)
Well, the Monsters of the Midway are the Bears, so yes, but usually that name refers to the teams from the early 40's, with Sid Luckman at QB--so that was before Butkus's time. Here, these were the Monsters of the Midway: http://www.databasefootball.com/teams/teamyear.htm?tm=CHI&lg=nfl&yr=1941

look here: http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/alphabetical.html one of my favorites is Chuck Bednarik -- I think he was the last one to play both offense and defense. Amongh other things, he is well known for clobbering Frank Gifford -- at the time some people wondered if he killed him.

Hey, there isn't much wrong with the Steelers; give Big Ben a couple of weeks to build his stamina and strength back, then watch out. It pissed me off watching Shannon Sharpe bellowing about how he wasn't back yet, where was his arm strength, etc. Geez, give him a break, I say. That was a good ball game, though.

And let's not forget Sam Huff. Those two, with Butkus, man.
