    Oakland hasn't worked out at all, time for Al to move the team back to LA, if Jacksonville doesn't get there first. :eek:

    I have nothing against it and I am probably one of the biggest campbell fans of all time.

    But once you watch chris johnson run, any true football fan can appreciate the greatness.

    Side note: the refs took away a 60 yard run by johnson when on replay it wasn't a penalty. I think that run woulda put him second on the all time list.

    Johnson is the second coming of barry sanders in my opinion.

    There are different kinds of runners, but all around, none better than the Tyler Rose, and I will never change my mind. Jim Brown was fabulous, Sayers was unbelievable, Sanders was fantastic, but Earl scared people in a visceral kind of way that is hard to explain. Kind of like J.R. Richards terrorized batters.

    I'm not mad at Chris Johnson at all. Or the current Titans for that matter.


    I just think Earl's records, along with all the Oilers' records, should be in a different, contained, category.

    Leave the Houston years in their own category, because after a while they fade into obscurity in a pack of new Titans stats.

    My thoughts exactly, although Bud Adams was to bitter to think about that when he ran off with everything.

    Except that it's the city where the team won Superbowl titles at before they were in LA.

    I seriously doubt the location is the problem. Aside from some being criminals, the Oakland fans are very dedicated to that team.
