So I was thinking today about all of the NFL greats that I have seen play in person. Off the top of my head this is the list:
Jerry Rice
Steve Young
John Elway
Terrell Davis
Troy Aikman
Michael Irvin
Emmitt Smith
Barry Sanders
Herman Moore
Brett Favre
Randall Cunningham
Chris Carter
Randy Moss
Michael Vick (In arguably his best game as a pro vs. Denver)
Warren Sapp
John Lynch
Keyshawn Johnson (one of the most underrated receivers IMO)
Derrick Brooks
Ronde Barber
1999 Rams ‘Greatest Show on Turf’ which included:
Kurt Warner
Marshall Faulk
Isaac Bruce
Torry Holt
Orlando Pace (I know he was a lineman, but he was a beastly lineman)
LaDainian Tomlinson
Steve Atwater
Marcus Allen
Tim Brown
Terrell Owens
Drew Bledsoe (not necessarily great, but good)
Antonio Freeman
Dorsey Levens
Reggie White
Charles Hayley
Ben Coats
Shannon Sharpe
Rod Woodson
Players I would love to see:
Larry Fitzgerald
Chris Johnson
Adrian Peterson
Patrick Willis
Peyton Manning
When I was young my dad used to take me to San Francisco as a birthday/Xmas present to see the 49ers play. We also went to St. Louis (shithole) to see the Bucs play the Rams. In 2000 we had season tickets to the Broncos their last year at Mile High.
I’ve been pretty damn fortunate !
