I Love Lists....Ok, I don't, but they are fun to talk about. We'll get into this on MHR Radio tonight but I wanted to post it here to get your take. USA Today broke down the Top 25 Players of the Past 25 years as par tof their 25th Anniversary.
Below is the list, and to be honest, I really can't find much fault with it...Sure, Elway should be higher than 6, but he is the 2nd quarterback listed so it all becomes relative.
