Lemme guess Desert Scar, you're a Cowboys fan. Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Jay Novacek & Erik Williams????? Please take off your blue/white colored glasses. I can see an argument for Emmitt(even though Sanders was twice as good as Emmitt), but the other three are obviously biased Cowboy homer choices.
