And Emmitt blows both of them out of the water.


I digested and excreted them to really show what they are.

 

Eddie George never had to play with Dan Pastorini or Giff Nielson...

Advantage: Earl

 

Numbers/schmubers.

Put me in a one-on-one drill with George and I tackle him maybe 1 out of every 30 times.

Put me in the same drill with Earl and I run away.

Earl created fear. Earl punished. Earl got better as the game went on. Earl was so much better it's not even close.

 

LMAO!!! I love that phrase!!!

Mmmmmmm....Earl Campbell's sausage...WAIT, that didn't come out right!!!

 

Have you ever seen mechanically separated chicken meat?

I have. Hell, I've made the stuff.

It's not a pretty sight.

 

I am by far the biggest Oiler/Titan fan, and even I know that George doesn't compare to Campbell.

 

I think the people who are saying that George is as good as Earl obviously never saw Earl play. I like George and he is an above average back but Earl was one of the top 5 backs of all time. Earl was amazing and I think the MJ reference is right on. You knew you were watching greatness whenever he touched the ball.
