Sports: A Game Of Inches

We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

TBO: Top 12 Running Backs

Even shorter and even sweater

Adrian Peterson - I was petitioning for him to be the top pick in 2007 draft. I was right
DeAngelo Williams - Given a chance to play full-time. 5.5 YPC, 18TD. Runs hard
Michael Turner - Lead league in YAC playing in great Atlanta running offense
Brandon Jacobs - Dude runs over Urlacker. Gets in end zone
Matt Forte - Not best speed, but great running/catching combo
M.J. Drew - See Forte
Steven Jackson - See Forte
Chris Johnson - Fastest guy in league. Limited touches but super effective
Frank Gore - Underrated playing on west coast. 4.7 average with catching skills
Steve Slaton - Slightly less explosive version of Chirs Johnson
Brian Westbrook - Legs shot from carrying Eagles for years. Still gets yards and TDs
Clinton Portis - Biggest workhorse in league. Surprised he can still walk. 1 year left.

Tomlinson is done. Can't move. Even playing for great team will not help. Last year was just sad.

I have a board bet that I'm going win that Pierre Thomas will end the year worth a 2nd round draft pick and end up

As bas as LT was last year, he still was the 6th best RB, hard for me to say he's done but i think he's obviously on the decline

The loss of Fred Taylor doesn't increase MJD's carries all that much, he ends up between 8-10, like he always does, def. a waste of top three pick.

I also don't think th loss of Taylor; September 1, 2009 at 8:26 AM
