Good effort, Ellis

Ellis Hobbs just got lit up by Ronnie Brown on the goal line. Isn't it supposed to be the defensive player who hits the running back? Brown's not exactly known as a punishing runner, but Hobbs looked like he just got hit by an Evander Holyfield uppercut.

Dude, how can you say any defensive player is supposed to be the one to deliver the hit. Did you ever watch Deion Sanders play? He never made a hit in his life.

Which is why Deion Sanders is probably the most overrated athlete in the history of American sports. Couldn't hit a baseball or a receiver. But he was fast, which apparently made him better than curly fries in the eyes of many.

Deion Sanders ranks eighth all time in punt return touchdowns, tied for 21st all time with 53 interceptions and second all-time with nine. He was a threat to score any time he touched the ball. What's it like being so misinformed?

Scott Barrett said...

That's nine touchdowns off interceptions.

Rick Grosvenor said...

I think he also had exactly nine career tackles. And most of them were Deion touching a guy down after he slipped.
