Sunday night sucks without football

On a happier note, my semi-professional football team is headed to the League Championship game this coming Saturday. We are 12-0 and ranked #3 in the Nation.

NFL Numbers Game
This is a game my brothers and I used to play on road trips, naming an athlete numerically in order. This is much harder using only NFL numbers. I know this is a long post, but you have nothing better to do.

#1- Warren Moon... so underrated. Thankfully he's now enshrined.
#2- Darren Bennett... yes, a punter. It was either this or Tim Couch, who is still better than JaMarcus Russell
#3- Bronco Nagurski... he was a bad man. Too bad they didn't have YouTube then.
#4- Brett Favre (puke)
#5- Paul Hornung... wanna bet?
#6- Jay Cutler... another talent rich number in the history of the NFL.
#7- John Elway... who in turn thanks Terrell Davis.
#8- Steve Young... wait, I think Troy Aikman just got hurt again.
#9- Sonny Jurgensen... I'm actually comment-less here.
#10- Fran Tarkenton... the temptation to put Vince Young was overwhelming.
#11- Norm Van Brocklin... going old school here, I know. Drew Bledsoe was too slow getting here.
#12- Tommy Effin Brady... man crush warning.
#13- Dan Marino... thankfully this isn't a playoffs/Super Bowl list.
#14- Dan Fouts... the best quarterback with no talent and a ton of yards in a gimmick offense. His best performance ever was in The Waterboy.
#15- Bart Starr... reverence at it's best.
#16- Joe Montana... I'm really speechless. Four rings. 7,000,000 comebacks. My heart.
#17- Dave Krieg... seriously.
#18- Peyton Manning... who just changed his number at the line.
#19- Johnny Unitas... still the best QB to ever be called a Colt.
#20- Barry Sanders.... duh.
#21- LaDainian Tomlinson... the little boy in me wanted to say Deion Sanders. Or Eric Allen.
#22- Emmitt Smith... remember how good he was in Arizona? Best O-Line ever.
#23- Mel Gray... paving the way for Devin Hester's worldwide.
#24- Lenny Moore... another very old school pick, but a true great.
#25- Fred Biletnikoff... when they are naming awards after you, you're okay by me.
#26- Rod Woodson... simply fantastic. So aggressive.
#27- Eddie George... can anyone be more underrated. Damn you, John Madden Curse.
#28- Marshall Faulk... he literally changed the game. Again, dammit Madden.
#29- Eric Dickerson... who just ran out of bounds with pads on from head-to-toe.
#30- Terrell Davis... who else can run a "blind" play action?
#31- Jim Taylor... the road grader for early Packer success.
#32- Jim Brown... second best running back ever (see #34).
#33- Tony Dorsett... who narrowly beat Roger Craig (and gets no mention for it).
#34- Walter Payton... when God made football, he thought of Walter.
#35- Bo Jackson... could have been great if not for the hold-out and hip surgery.
#36- Marion Motley... try to find some old footage on this guy, he was phenominal.
#37- Doak Walker... again, the best RB in college football wins his award.
#38- Number of records Jerry Rice retired with. Someone please do something with this number.
#39- Larry Csonka... he's not mentioned much anymore, but this guy was a power runner.
#40- Gale Sayers... poetry personified, so graceful.
#41- Brian Piccolo... it's okay to cry. I did.
#42- Ronnie Lott... what a force. I think people are still hurt from his hits.
#43- Troy Polamalu... coming soon to a free agent team near you.
#44- John Riggins... Riggo would be kicked out of the NFL today. Thank God he wasn't then.
#45- Ernie Davis... not much going on here at #45. Try Google.
#46- Don Fleming... played with #45 Davis and both are retired Browns' numbers.
#47- Mel Blount... one of the best cornerbacks ever.
#48- Stephen Davis... wow, how sad?
#49- Bobby Mitchell... Hall of Fame back was the first African American Redskin.
#50- Mike Singletary... I was afraid to even type his name loud.
