#27TheDominator Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 This thread cracks me up because when I was good at Madden - maybe 98-2000, my cousins would get mad because I would trade for my all-time team. I would usually start with the 70s Oilers and then trade for the guys I wanted. Bert Jones and Lem Barney were two of my first choices. Isaac Curtis, Curly Culp, Otis Sistrunk, Buck Buchanan. Some of the Oilers teams already had Dave Casper. It would take forever and we never could save it properly. Then they would take all-time Giants and I would be a 9 point underdog. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am walking past him and stop dead in my tracks - it is Kevin Greene. we speak for a minute or two and I tell him I loved watching him play except for when he was on the Steelers. We talked about the game on Sunday and I wished him well. The bizarre part of all of this is no one has a clue that an nfl hall of famer is in this store. about 50 or more people walked by him and had no clue who he was. very nice guy.

Dont forget Warren Wells on the other side of Biletnikoff... I remember Hadl and Alworth because for some reason {even though I was in NYC) they always showed the Chargers as the 4 o clock game.. I remember the rb Dickie Post.. And speaking of Lance Alworth, it was easy to get him mixed up with Lance Renzl on the Cowboys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speaking of Lance Alworth, it was easy to get him mixed up with Lance Renzl on the Cowboys You're even older than me! I don't remember Warren Wells. For me it was Cliff Branch. Any time a pass hit the tree it was "Cliff Branch." If it was the basketball it was "Tree Rollins." When you are under 12 that is high brow humor. My Dad didn't like Alworth because he was a Maynard man. I liked Terry Metcalf, Mel Gray and Jim Hart - earlier Air Coryell QB. WIlbert Montgomery, Lydell Mitchell, the aforementioned Lawrence McCutcheon and the Pruitts were among my favorite RBs.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, I thought their uniforms were the coolest thing. Good get on Wells. Great receiver who wound up with a ton of legal problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjHoldyHold Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Adrian Peterson was my favorite guy on offense. I loved the fact that there was a back who could carry an entire offense by simply being bigger, faster, stronger than the rest of the defense. Like Derrick Henry if he had elite acceleration and a full repertoire of jukes. Defensively I loved luke Kuechly. I played linebacker growing up and I loved his instincts. Being able to get to the ball carrier two steps before everyone else and bring him down 99/100 amazed me. That's ignoring the fact he was capable of going step for step with Julio Jones down the field 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Surprised at so much Bert Jones love with not much mention of Roger Carr or Lydell Mitchell. I liked Steve Bartkowski and the Cardiac Kids/Gritz Blitz. Not to be confused with the also exciting Brian Sipe and the Kardiac Kids in Cleveland a few years later.
