I'm sure that everyone eagerly awaits each new edition of the NFL Network's Top 10 lists. They are pretty damn cool. However, their recent Top 10 Receiving Combos is nothing but a bucket o' lies. They should have left out the middle five and started over. The Vikings' Cris Carter, Randy Moss and Jake Reed at 9. Come on! They could have left out the Dolphins' "Marks" and the Redskins' "Posse" and the quality of the list rises. The Colts' Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark at 10! All 3 could end up in the Hall of Fame. My goodness, these people are fools. No.'s 9 and 10 were better than 1-8. Seriously, you can start with their 9 and 10, add #1 Chargers' Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner and John Jefferson, #2 Rams' Isaac Bruce, Tory Holt, Az Hakim and Marshall Faulk, #3 Rams' classic Elroy Hirsch and Tom Fears. Drop 4-8. Add the Browns' Paul Warfield and Gary Collins, the Jets' Don Maynard and George Sauer, the Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Bolden and Steve Breaston, the Chargers' Lance Alworth and anyone with a pulse, and the Browns' Dante Lavelli, Mac Speedie and Dub Jones. There's your 10. The 49ers' Jerry Rice and John Taylor made it. I liked Taylor. He was a good receiver. You could pair me with Rice and we'd make the list. Probably #1.
In all honesty, these lists are wonderful. They spark debate and contemplation. The NFL Network presents these lists in a very entertaining fashion. With the incomparable NFL Films assisting, you can't go wrong.
