1. Was he ever regarded as the best player in football? Did anybody, while he was active, ever suggest that he was the best player in football?
Doubtful. Irvin was amongst the elite WR's in the early 90s, but it's difficult for any WR's to receive such honors.
2. Was he the best player on his team?
Doubtful. Emmitt Smith is regarded as the best skill position for that Cowboy dynasty. Larry Allen was also probably their most dominating player.

1. Was he ever regarded as the best player in football? Did anybody, while he was active, ever suggest that he was the best player in football?
No.
2. Was he the best player on his team?
All-time, no. KC previously had better defensive players. But, Thomas was the face of the Chiefs' franchise during his time there.
3. Was he the best player in football at his position? Was he the best player in the conference at his position?
If by position, we mean OLB? Then, no.
4. Did he

1. Was he ever regarded as the best player in football? Did anybody, while he was active, ever suggest that he was the best player in football?
No. The only year where Monk would receive any consideration would be 1984 where he broke the single season reception record. And that was the year of Marino throwing for 5000+ yards, and Dickerson rushing for 2000+.
2. Was he the best player on his team?
Doubtful. Monk was the best skill player for them in 1984, and probably 1985

We take a break from stuff that PISSES ME OFF, to another HOF list. Except these are for football... not baseball ones like alkeiper and other inferior posters do.
For each player, I'll be using the Keltner list. Because I've always wanted to.
We'll start with Thurman Thomas.
I should note beforehand that I'm a huge fangirl for him and thus biased.

Things that PISS ME OFF: Part X.
Forcing Spanish on US Citizens.
I'm definitely not as hard on this as most other right-wing wackos are. I fully understand the importance of speaking multiple languages. Infact, it's a little embarassing that just about all of my European and South American friends can speak, or at least try to speak, many languages including English.
But, when a different language is FORCED on a country, that's wrong. If you're moving to another country,

Things that PISS ME OFF: Part IX.
NFL Popularity.
We already know my feelings on the current mediocre NFL product.
Currently, the top 4, and basically only active threads on TSM, are about the NFL. Grar. Give other sports a chance.
88.
Things that PISS ME OFF: Part VIII.
ESPN's tennis coverage.
Dear ESPN, we know you really don't want to show tennis.
Most of your viewers want NFL NFL NFL. Show them 24 hours of NFL NFL NFL STEVE SMITH TOM CAPTAIN CLUTCH BRADY.
So, please stop with the tennis. We won't miss you. Please spare us. Because, really, you know Chris Fowler fucking sucks with every stupid thing he says about tennis. He does college football so well. Keep him there.
87.
Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.
Why must types of storage constantly change? It's a ripoff.
So, in 5 years, DVD players will be dead. And we'll have to spend hundreds on whatever stupid new thing is the "winner" of the media wars.
Fuck that. Technology is a bad thing when it rapes my wallet. Put everything on DVD. Sell a 100 pack of DVD's for fifty cents. I'm content with that.
"OH, BUT HDTV!!! IT'S SO NEATO!!"
Fuck you. I just want to watch shit. If I want to see pretty,

DRM (Digital Rights Management).
If you've downloaded any illegal movies or music in the past year or so, you've probably got some of these. I fucking hate them. HATE THEM. I just want to watch my porn.
So, I downloaded basically the entire Hustler site the past 2 days. And now I have to run programs to delete all the damn DRM's so I can play them on my XBox. Fuckers.
I'd be so pissed if I actually paid for this stuff.
85.
Wii.
I want one of these things. I have for over 2 months. And they're still nowhere.
The worst part is that stores are still holding them for "sales" on Sundays. Fuck that. You're feeding into people with no lives. I'm not getting up at 4am just to get a console. I have respect for myself. I have responsibilities.
Fuck people.
84.
The NFL.
Good crap, does it blow. I'm studying up on my gambling picks this week, and it's depressing.
Seattle @ Chicago? Like, WTF. They're awful. AWFUL. How can I seriously take a team starting Rex Grossman that giving up 9.5 points?
I want dominating teams back again. Where wins meant something. Now it's like one team wins and there's no shock at all. Whoever gets the luckiest. Usually whatever team has the least injuries. Lame.
All sports suck. Especially, tennis

Randall Orton.
Why does he have to be such an asshole and keep fucking up? He doesn't need to add fuel to the many hater's fire.
Be hot. Do your job.
Or, better yet. Get out of wrestling and do porn. He'd be perfect there. Plus, I could watch him more regularly.
82.
Mole.
No, not because he's the new leader of TSM that will be banning me shortly.
Because he's the perfect example of that asshole you have to deal with in life, no matter what. I know this all too well since I went to Catholic school with a bunch of rich yuppies and I was one of the poor city kids. There's always the braindead moron who starts shit with everyone and gets away with whatever because he's got a rich daddy.
How does this stupid asshole have the extra money

The Williams' SISTAHZ.
Serena Williams' comments after losing to Sybille Bammer in Hobart last night (whatever time it is in Tasmania).
""I think she played the match of her life," Williams said. "I've never heard of her quite frankly. (Oh. And we know Bammer played the match of her life because...) I didn't play that well and I made a lot of unforced errors. (Of course, you didn't have your A-Game.) I think I'm a little rusty. You wish these players would play like this all t

So, I don't really like it here at forums.thesmartmarks.com. I guess I just come here out of habit, and the usually good sports forum. I've always found most of the "established" posters here to be very annoying and put them on ignore... but, it's gotten even worse in the past couple months here with the stupidity, especially in the modding ranks, and the "let's side with the biggest loser to make us feel good about ourselves" garbage in HD has gone into overdrive. I'm also not a wrestl

It was kinda fun doing this last week. Plus, I'm brutal with NFL Picks, so it's funny.
Thursday 8:00:
Cleveland (4-8) at Pittsburgh (5-7): I have to fade the Browns here starting Derek Anderson with 4 days preparation time. Plus, the Steelers still have that tiny glimmer of hope that the 5-7 teams do (like Buffalo), so they should be enthused for this one. Only question is how PIT deals with their injuries, especially on the defensive side. But, odds are with PIT here. PIT 23,
78.
So, it's time for my ignore list again. It's great filler for my blog.
It may seem like I have fun doing this. And, I do. But, the reason my list is so huge is because I really REALLY hate reading stupid things. And when I read stupidity, we know how I respond. Therefore, ignoring them is optimal for all parties.
surreaList: Constantly rude to people. Rather dumb as proved by most of his decisions. Plays the whole "I'm too cool to care about boards" bullshit.

So, the general opinion is that we're glad Florida is in the title game. Unless you truly believe Florida is the 2nd best team in the nation, or that Florida's overall resume is stronger than Michigan's, then you are wrong. And by judging by the voters' history in the past weeks, they believed Michigan was the best team. That opinion can not change when Michigan didn't play for 2 weeks.
So, if the voting was decided on who the best team was... it was Michigan.
If the voting

So, I want to change my name here. Princess Leena sounds so heelish. I need to show what a face I've become.
All suggestions are appreciated. Except Princess Cunt. You'll be banned for that.
Oh, and my Negatives about TSM thing is done. Sorry.

This will be more of a sad entry. And although it doesn't entirely have to do with TSM, it's a fine example of the mentality we have here.
I'm saddened I had to end a friendship with the poster Ortonsault today. A victim of the high school mentality that many grown-ups have... which also happens here. The high school mentality of going with whatever your friends say. And since this mentality is so childish, usually the dumbest people get the ball rolling within it.
It's sad t
74.
So, Princess Leelee has decided to once again liven up this blog. No more gambling, unfortunately. The next group of entries will be purely on the many negatives of forums.thesmartmarks.com. Think of this like HTQ's blog, except I'm not some wrestling geek that sucks on Dave Meltzer's teat.

Last week was still a success, but a disappointment after my perfect 9/22-23 week. Ohio St. and Navy won 2 of my big 3 bets, so I still came out in the positive.
Bets this week so far (I'll probably have some O/U by the weekend):
Hawaii (-9) vs. Nevada - 1 unit.
Historically, the home team dominates this series. I don't see anything different here. And I think Nevada is overrated by many because of the NW and UNLV blowout win. And Hawaii is underrated, since they lost two

Ohio St. @ Iowa. -6
I'm lost on this one. Although, the line has rightly gone up to 7+ since I jumped on it this morning. Have people not noticed how horrible Iowa has looked at times this year. I know it's a night game at Kinnick, and OSU wins games like this in ugly fashion sometimes... but, OSU is miles better. Iowa's secondary has been burned all year. They have virtually no big play potential.
Vanderbilt over Temple -34
I have no explanation on this one, except Vand
