They've got the No.1 running back in the history of the National Football League in Walter Payton...

"(Eric Dickerson) has a long way to go to equal what Walter Payton has done," Bill Walsh said. "Walter Payton is the greatest competitor I've seen on a field. If you watch Walter Payton, regardless of his team's productivity, he's playing as though it is the championship game and he's leading his team. He's a great leader and a great football player."

The old pro who was playing in his first Super Bowl after 11 seasons. For most of those years, Payton was the only good thing about Bears football.
...
Finally, the Bears wrapped a team around Payton this season and they romped all the way to the Super Bowl.

[Undrafted Coach]: "Walter Payton is the best running back in the National Football League"

He's on one of the greatest players in NFL history...

"He's an all-around player who can run, catch the ball, and throw it. ... Walter Payton is the greatest of the greatest. One day I hope to be like him."

The Bears retired his jersey #34 while he was an active player.

Feeling yourself?

Hope you don't try to go in the box with Reggie White & Aaron Donald.
GLWT.

Or run outside the box against Troy Palomalu & Ed Reed.

Boom. Boom.

 

[Michael Farkas]

Nah, just trying to put some little bios together. I also meant to save this as a draft haha

And while I'm really confident in my group, I would prefer not to go against a combination of Reggie White and Aaron Donald backed by guys that can cover as much ground those DBs...no...that would be less than enjoyable...

 

[Tony Romo]

@spintheblackcircle has been skipped, probably to busy hoping Harbaugh doesn't beat Ohio State again this year.

@91LeafsTavares91 you're OTC pm me when your pick is made, as I have Holdens next pick

 

[VanIslander]

Every team has its Achillies heel, its less favorable matchup, its arch nemesis: i've sweated at 2am the prospect of a Belichick-researching Munoz-protecting, Marino wielding, Moss receiving pass after two runs by Sanders or Sweetness setting up 3rd and short, making my safeties stack the box. It's 6 to the house on a go route. *sigh*

Never stabbed anyone... that we know of.

@Voight has exceeded 6 hour time limit last night. @GKJ can pick at any time for their next pick.

@Tony Romo is supposed to have a list I think.

 

[Tony Romo]

@Tony Romo is supposed to have a list I think.

I didn’t get one, they are at a wedding all weekend however so. Both picks maybe skipped

 

[VanIslander]

May be?

 

[GKJ]

Was Bill George on anyone’s radar?

 

[Voight]

Yea my mistake didn't have a chance to send one before I left.

 

[GKJ]

Yea my mistake didn't have a chance to send one before I left.

I think you have another pick to make. You had a skip, and then made your normal pick.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

I was deciding between Gilmore and Ramsay. Went with Gilmore due to DPOY award he won. It was a toss up though.

Was thinking about Ramsey with the last pixk, though I think Seymour was the better option there. Gilmore might have been better than Ramsey though, didn’t cross my mind.

 

[GKJ]

I was deciding between Gilmore and Ramsay. Went with Gilmore due to DPOY award he won. It was a toss up though.

I was doing the same, but would’ve went Ramsey because he’s a bit more accomplished playing primary left corner, and that better served my roster. I basically had 2 or 3 guys I was down to there.

Blah, Wehrli was a pick I had been sitting on for multiple rounds now...thought I had more time than that.

 

[Ben Grimm]

QB: Brett Favre
RB:
RB:
WR: Terrell Owens
WR: Michael Irvin
WR: Andre Johnson
TE:
LT: Willie Roaf
LG: Marshall Yanda
C: Bruce Matthews
RG: Zack Martin
RT: Jackie Slater

@Tony Romo, you have 12 starters on offense.

 

[GKJ]

Blah, Wehrli was a pick I had been sitting on for multiple rounds now...thought I had more time than that.

Yeah he was another one for me, just played the wrong side. Not that it’s a killer, but seems like a lot of guys are heavy to that side.

 

[Tony Romo]

I may need to PM someone my picks, just having a beach day. Any takers?

 

[GKJ]

Send it

Reche Caldwell coming up!

 

[GKJ]

[LT]

Defensive starters are done.
