This maybe espn at it's worst

Ok, all the events of the past few diaries aside.

This is ridiculous. Top 50 draft steals of all-time. Ok I hate to admit, but Tom Brady is the clear cut number 1. Number two is Joe Montana. I would argue that Roger could be number two but i'll settle for three...but wait..he's not number 3. Number 4? number 5? 15? 25? 50!??? He's not even on the list!!!!

where would you put him!? I can guarantee you everyone of you would atleast put him on the list!

edit It was pointed out to me that this was only covering draft steals since the merger, since Staubach was drafted before the merger in 1964 and begun playing in 1969 he was excluded

Still, if you included the pre-merger draft, where would you put him?

I was in agreement until...

I noticed the story said the list only went back to 1967, the year of the merger. Roger was drafted in 1964.

I have a travesty

It's like this French country theme, with girls and trees and stuff. My wife really likes it. I think I bought it in Belgium...

Nice...

I have one too with a big golden bird in the center. Can't understand why my wife laughs at me when I brag about our travesty though...

The Red Ball Express will be rolling this year!

Don't stop now, you're on a roll...

Markdamack... Despite the '63 -'67 details, this post is another good one. And despite the "other" diary misunderstanding (that I also thought, at first, was a slight... and then upon a second read realized it was actually complimenting you)...

Despite all that, keep posting diaries...uh... fanposts!

I'd put Roger in the top 5. Is Hershell on that list? Didn't we waste a late pick on his rights only to turn that into ... well, a lot?

This week and the final weeks of July have a similar feel... finally, after an extended wait, we're about to have something to sink our teeth into!

Tar Heels football will surprise this year.
