Prime Time # 34 Football Player All-Time?
"Rice was the best, Jim Brown, LT.... Prime"
I agree Deion is way too low. Deion is the best cover corner ever, he is the reason that term exists. There has never been a more dangerous player... Throw to him he might take it for 6, punt to him he can take it, kick off to him and he could score on offense too. Stats don't do Deion justice... I wish I was old enough to remember him bossing Jerry Rice cuz just from the highlights he clearly did it more than once.
Deion is one of the greatest athletes ever. Who plays in the MLB NLCS and then goes to play an NFL game the same day? World Series and 2 Super Bowl rings...

NFL Week 6 Recap
Who Are the Contenders:
Ravens (with Reed)
Steelers
Colts
Tier 2:
Saints
Eagles (with Vick and DJ healthy)
Packers (if they get healthy)
Tier 3:
Texans
Jets
Bears
Patriots
Cowboys
Vikings
Titans
Finally people saw on national television that the Falcons are highly overrated, were analyst lazy and not watching the film? I couldn’t believe for the last 2 weeks how much that team was being gassed. Kevin Kolb is trying to get his job back. DJ and J Maclin balled, but DJ could be out a few weeks after a vicious hit that should draw a huge fine and suspension. He has a severe concussion. I still want Mike Vick back, speaking of which there are rumors that something is up because Vick wasn’t on the field during the game even though he was listed as the #3 QB and he was no where to be found after the game… He appparently was given permission to show up 45 minutes prior to the game because he’s still recovering from injury… Something is up.
For the 2nd straight week the Packers lost in OT. That team has been ravaged by serious injuries this season… Aaron Rodgers shrugged off his “mild” concussion last week to play well but the Dolphins ran all over the Packers. The Pack should have traded a 4th rounder for Marshawn Lynch (now a Seahawk), they should pull the trigger and get Marion Barber. Schefter wrote that the Boys could dump his salary for a 4th rounder and the Pack get a RB who can block too… Brandon Marshall got loose, 10 for 127yds… 90% of that came in the 1st half.
The Texans came back to beat the Chiefs. The Texans defense isn’t getting it done, losing DeMeco Ryans for the rest of the year won’t help. No one has heard from Brian Cushing since he returned from his overtraining aka steroid suspension. The Cheifs lost because they have a USC QB who can’t complete short passes, the only difference from Sanchez on MNF is that Matt Schaub took advantage of the opportunity unlike Favre…
The Boys lost to the Vikings. The Boys continue to make stupid mistakes, but they are being flagged unnecessarily at this point. Excessive celebration calls are subjective and I have never seen what has happened over the past 2 weeks deemed excessive in any other games. 2 players throwing up the "Hook Em Horns" is not what the rule is supposed to prevent. The PI call on Mike Jenkins was subjective, don’t think I would have called it. The PI on Miles Austin was ridiculous. Now to Tony Romo… Even Skip Bayless blamed the loss almost entirely on Romo. On his first INT he should have taken a sack, the second maybe he should have seen MLB EJ Henderson and maybe not, but it’s the 4th quarter. Allowing another big kickoff return also killed the Cowboys. Again, leadership is a problem everywhere in this organization.Jerry Jones, this is all on you.
The Patriots narrowly beat the Ravens thanks the Ravens only scoring 3 pts in the 4th. Joe Flacco needs to get it together. I don’t care if the Pats won, they are not better without Randy Moss. I can’t wait to see the Ravens play with Ed Reed and Mount Cody. Oh and I’m not leaving out Justin Bieber's diss on Brady: “Sacked like a sacker. Call Mr Brady, tell him to leave his hair to that guy who sings ‘Baby’” Wow… I don’t even like Justin Bieber and didn’t know who he was until recently, but he just got cool points, Brady… Your man card just got jacked by a kid going through puberty! Gisele can pick it up at her discretion.

The NFL is visiting suspending defensive players only for "devestating" hits.... I believe this is way to vague. With rules like these you need to be as specific as possible if you are going to penalize the pockets of half the league and disrupt the way football has been played for years overnight. I had an issue in general with punishment based solely on "perceived" victim response. if Desean Jackson, massaquoi, heap, and cribbs and whomever jumped up after hit then this action is never taken. football is a game of inches literally and hits like these are made every quarter.... an inch to the right, up, down, or left and a guy jumps up and boast about how tough he is, but the same distance in a direction opposite can result in career ending fashion. I say with any of this stuff fix the problem not the symptom. they (the officials making money) focus on the sympton becuase that way they can still have vicious hits which people love (99% of hits), random accountability on scapegoats when the extreme negative occurs (1%), and thus circumvent long term law suits and whatever by claiming they tried to do something about this.
The game is dangerous.... you can't over police something like this without changing what it is in totality. if you want to get rid of spearing get rid of helmets, reduce contact in practice, completely overhaul the game. but don't try to have your cake and eat it too. I feel the way they are doing it is wrong and basically ask the people to police themselves but not really. This is very similar to nascar, boxing, or hockey....people go to nascar for crashes on some level; to reduce crashes do you impose a rule to cap the speeds at which drivers can drive (still putting up with some crashes).... in boxing people like knockouts; there's a reason why olympic boxing is hard to watch; one reason is head gear.... in hockey they flirt with the need of fighting in the game (but when it gets out of hand, basically one person doesn't get up, then people "press" charges---absurd). alll of these attractive but brutal aspects of the sport attracts the viewers and in some instances the very people who play.... if you change these the sport is no longer the same.... i don't see many televised flag football games....
I get it there is danger but the game is dangerous.... Another thing why is the hit accountability always on defense.... when are they going to ask the offensive guys to accept some blame and chaneg the way they play... steve young was on last night talking about these hits are high due to the incompetence of today's QBs.... i think that's ridiculous.... the main driver is the athletes are bigger and faster.... i would argue the defenses of today are more complex because the athletes are better.... james harrison is a solid B LB; there are better guys at LB.... james harrison can cover, blitz, stop run better than alot guys in the 80's. you never ask a DT to drop in coverage back then but now you can because the athletes can make that play. from a offensive standpoint what does this do to crack back blocking... is hines ward going to be able to play under these new rules?
this is getting long....
