I thought I would welcome our 2 new HOF additions to guys who have been on "TSN's" top 100 "Greatest players" of "ALL-TIME" list for as long as I can remember....

We have 5 members who I consider "true" Redskins" on this list!

Where's Michael Irvin? or James Loften? or many others who have been inducted since Monk's HOF inclusion?

I only have 3 words to say about all this!! About DAMN time!

Cause this is a list that doesn't require stupid reporters opinions,but rather just the simple fact....that these players are the very best to ever step onto the football field!(according to TSN of course)

(oh ya....All are in the HOF with the exception of those waiting for eligibility in blue)

Enjoy my fellow Extremeskins Fans!

you missed highlighting sam huff! (and bruce smith, but I dont really count him as a skin!)

[michael_33]

...."true Redskins"

[michael_33]

trust me....I didn't miss it....

[Aireskoi]

I am not really a fan of any lists or rankings, its hard to find anyone objective enough who has witnessed everyone play. I mean I don't care for the guy, but Emmitt Smith is #68, and Barry Sanders is #12? Wow.

Sammy Baugh is the greatest football player ever, that's where my list ends.

I understand your point of view...But the real point of the thread is that everyone on the list who has retired and have waited the required 5 years for eligibility on this list was and is in the HOF!

Except Art MONK! who has more than waited too long for his enshrinement...

I understand that this is TSN's opinion...but I find it quite unsettling,that all of their "100 guys" on this list are in the HOF except MONK and then you add all the controversy to boot!

Obviously,they felt that he was more than Great enough to be on this list....And it's not like this is some Redskins site or something?

This is a completely unbiased opinion from a neutral source!

It's ridiculous that it took this long!

I guess Joe Namath gets style points for predicting that his team would win the SB. Outside of that, his bad knees forced him to miss lots of games. His career numbers were, 173 TDs, 220 INTs, 50.1 Comp. rate, 65.5 Pass rating. Sonnys career numbers were, 255 TDs, 189 INTs, 57.1 Comp. rate, 82.6 Pass rating. I am surprised Jurgy didnt make it ahead of Joe Willie.

[redman]

As usual there aren't nearly enough OL's represented here.

[voicekiller]

WTF that list is absolute and complete BULL****!!!! there are no Skins in the top ten, and Darrell Green the best shut down corner to ever play the game is at 81? Art is at 91? Where is Riggo, where are the HOGS, Kilmer, Sonny, Sam, Baugh, horse ****!!!!!

Was the writer a 49ers fan or something...BULL****!!!!!!!

[Fury010]

These kind of lists are difficult to agree with. Where does Ken Houston fall? How about Sonny Jurgensen? Where is John Riggins?

[flexxskins]

No Larry Brown? :doh:

[ECU-ALUM]

No Riggo? That Bites!

[SkinsMaster88]

This list was compiled by TSN back in 1999, just FYI for people who might be wondering about some of the exclusions of current players, like Brady, Manning, LT, etc.

Also, now players like Favre and Smith would move up that list.
