Someone has a case of the Monday's

And it's not Brett Favre...
This guy could be a politician as many times as he has changed his stance on the "trade me, but don't" talk. My thoughts: shut up and play. Or don't.

Hester continues to score...
Now he'll do it on offense as a slot receiver/running back/returner/headache. This will be fun. I only wonder how Rex Grossman will eff up a pass to the flats.

Dwayne Bowe makes bad impressions...
I like to show up to my first day of work at a new job 20 minutes late too, Dwayne. But I make pennies, you can make millions. Thank God the Giants didn't draft him, he'd have been 25 minutes late.

Continuing the list...
#51- Dick Butkus... possibly the best linebacker ever, and a decent actor too.
#52- Mike Webster... Ravens fans can bite me. Webster's never been involved in a murder.
#53- Harry Carson... so extremely underappreciated. Kept LT in check.
#54- Brian Urlacher... a lot of good players have used the number 54, but none as well as Brian.
#55- Junior Seau... a first ballot HOF guy.
#56- Lawrence Taylor... it's amazing that he was able to stay on the field. He'd be out of the NFL today.
#57- Dwight Stephenson... a real game-changer from the center position.
#58- Jack Lambert... I wanted to go Derrick Thomas here, but Lambert was simply better.
#59- Jack Ham... a terror in the middle of many great defenses.
#60- Chuck Bednarik... by now you know my rule on if an award is named after you.
#61- Bill George... I had to use the WayBackMachine to find this one.
#62- Charley Trippi... another WBM'er.
#63- Gene Upshaw... an All Pro guard and the Union boss for the NFLPA.
#64- Randall McDaniel... a pillar of stability.
#65- Gary Zimmerman... a future HOF'er.
#66- Ray Nitschke... despite my lack of love for Packers, Nitschke film always stops my remote.
#67- Russell Maryland... we didn't have many choices here.
#68- Russ Grimm... one of the best Hogs from a dominating era.
#69- Tim Krumrie... Google.com people.
#70- Rayfield Wright... sadly, many hadn't heard of him until his HOF induction.
#71- Tony Boselli... almost forgotten now, he was better than Pace or Ogden early on.
#72- Dan Dierdorf... from when the Cardinals and MNF were good.
#73- Larry Allen... maybe the most dominating guard ever.
#74- Bob Lilly... was the key to the Doomsday Defense.
#75- Joe Greene... not only did he have a badass nickname, he was a darn good player too.
#76- Orlando Pace... many consider him the best LT ever. I think they forgot about #78.
#77- Red Grange... yes, the Galloping Ghost wore a lineman's number.
#78- Anthony Munoz... the prototypical left tackle.
#79- Erik Williams... should be given a lot of credit for those new rings in Dallas.
#80- Jerry Rice... best player ever.
#81- Dick Lane... aka, Night Train.
#82- Raymond Berry... was Johnny U's best target.
#83- Ted Hendricks... was one of the most consistent and dominating linebackers of his time.
#84- Shannon Sharpe... loudest and most productive TE ever.
#85- Jack Youngblood... this guy's highlight reel is a must have for DL coaches.
#86- Hines Ward... an amazing all-around football player.
#87- Dave Casper... was in a league of his own for some time.
#88- Alan Page... sorry Irvin, I can't stand you. Page was both respected and feared on the field.
#89- Mike Ditka... you have to love his grit.
#90- Neil Smith... I used to practice the baseball swing in my backyard people.
#91- Tommie Harris... another thin number, but Harris has the makings of a great DT.
#92- Reggie White... the best defensive end most of us will ever see.
#93- John Randle... this guy was scary. Such a talent.
#94- Chad Brown... people forget how good he was in Pittsburgh.
#95- Greg Lloyd... no one has forgotten how good he was though.
#96- Alex Brown... surely I'm missing something here, right?
#97- Bryant Young... has been dominating the DL for a decade and a half.
#98- Julian Peterson... among the most versatile linebackers I've seen.
#99- Warren Sapp... had a five-year run of dominance that may not be matched.
#00- Jim Otto... those AFL'ers were clever with their homonyms (Aught-O)
