This NFL Films-NFL Network production had a different panel with more people involved. The 1999 Sporting News list was made up of editors and writers from The Sporting News. The latest was from a "Blue Ribbon Panel" of media types, football people, so-called football experts, and former players.

Largent was iffy, could have been on the list. His team never having won probably kept him off as they said the selectors used that criteria in a close call. The running back I saw go over Paul Krause was the Rams Lawrence McCutcheon in the 3rd quarter of the 1976 NFC Championship game. The...

The NFL Network is making a 3-hour production of it. The first hour has the hosts making nonsensical comments. They still think Deion Sanders is too low at #34.

Is "The Tillman Story" being shown where you live? If it is, could you see it and give us your opinion?

In August, it was released in New York and LA to rapturous reviews from the film critics. When Pat Tillman's death was announced, many on the Left mocked him as a "dumb patriotic jock" and figured he was a Bush supporter. "The Tillman Story" is pretty much a garden-variety leftist...

On Thursday night at 9pm ET, the NFL Network will have #1-10. Immediately following the finale, Steve Sabol hosts a special one-hour roundtable featuring "blue-ribbon panelists" Michael Lombardi, Ernie Accorsi, Peter King, and Jarrett Bell to discuss the entire countdown. As previously...

Thirty years ago, HBO would have given a lot to show fighters like the Klitschko brothers. Not now, apparently.

Of Krause, it was written in a 1977 preview book: "Gets his picture taken a lot-standing up, looking down at a pile of bodies." I've seen him turn to the side and let a running back go right over him for a TD.Edited by: sport historian

SB Nation had a headline of "Vince Young Outplaying Philip Rivers at Half."

The 1999 Sporting News list had Larry Wilson #43, Steve Largent #46, and Bill George (longtime Bear middle linebacker) at #50. None of these three make the Top 100 in this list.Edited by: sport historian

Sean Lahman, author of "The Pro Football Historical Abstract," is a member of the Pro Football Researcher's Association Forum. Lahman posted a few weeks ago his opinion that the Top 100 list has too few pre-1960 players. Lahman felt that Terry Bradshaw didn't belong on the list (he was #50)...

Riggins didn't retire with the most TDs and he doesn't hold the record for most post-season rushing yards. Riggins' biggest feat was his performance in Super Bowl XVII. It looks like the final 10 will be in no particular order: Walter Payton Dick Butkus Jerry Rice Joe Montana John...

A few months ago, there was a piece at Cold Hard Football Facts wondering why there were so many high choices were busts. It said that players are scouted and evaluated more extensively than ever, but despite this, more high draft choices seemed to fail than in the old days. CHFF was especially...
