Ok, I know I'm a biased Minnesota Vikings fan, and that Adrian Peterson has struggled through some tough times of late, but really? He's not among the top-ten running backs of all-time? Sorry, but gotta call bul#$^it.

The Cheat Sheet listed the top-ten backs, and while there is some doubt as to who is number-one, AP has absolutely got to be in the discussion of top-ten. (BTW: I would guess he's carrying the ball wearing purple again this Fall.)

Here's who I think comes in on the list with AP. Thoughts?

  1. Jim Brown
  2. Walter Payton
  3. <------ I would insert Adrian Peterson here.
  4. Emmitt Smith
  5. Barry Sanders
  6. Eric Dickerson
  7. LaDainian Tomlinson
  8. OJ Simpson (Seriously, OJ makes it, but AP doesn't? So much for public opinion.)
  9. Tony Dorsett
  10. Gayle Sayers

Bumped off their top-ten list by my insertion of AP, is Thurman Thomas who would drop to #11 by my standards. But nobody asked me (also known as Thursday).

Skol!
