The greatest and last white tailback you will see be one of the best players in the NFL. And along with his talent- he was a damn nut.

Really good special on the NFL network worth an hour to watch

I'll have to record that one.

I watched the one on Walter Payton recently. A man's man.

Peyton Hillis
I really thought Hillis would be the next Riggins except with more speed and quickness. Hillis has freakish strength and speed but was sharing time with McFadden and Jones. He is still young. Maybe soon.

Tim Tebow could be a pretty good white running back. I bet Bill Bellicheck agrees with me too.

There's also one on Barry Sanders that is good. "A Football Life" is a good program.
The new season starts next month

Hillis does not have freakish speed, unless you meant to add 'for a big white guy'.

Hillis touchdown celebrations are hilarious. I would be scared to tackle that guy. He's got tree trunks for legs.

That really is being written as I type this....my first appearance will be on Howard Stern to discuss the ****in' parts of the book.

He is fast. But yes, I meant freakish for his size and skin color.

I am an avid Redskin fan and lived in DC during the 80s and early 90s. I had season tickets to old RFK Stadium. There will never be another like "The Diesel". Riggo is my favorite football player of all-time. I have a picture I took of Clarence Harmon and Greg Williams, both former Bulldogs, high-fiving during warmups of an NFC Championship Game. Those old Redskin teams were classic! Hail to the Redskins! Dallas SUX!
