The Greatest Football Player Alive

Am I crazy or does LaDanian Tomlinson not get enough respect as one of the greatest players in the game? I feel like he's under-appreciated for several reasons.

First, he's never the best RB in fantasy football. Like this year, everyone was drafting Larry Johnson and Shaun Alexander ahead of him. Those guys have more talent around them to accrue more stats.

Second, the Chargers have never made a deep run while LaDanian is around. They've had pretty mediocre talent in the 6 years he's been there, but he has lifted them towards the upper echelon.

Third, he's so sweet that a lot of people, when they realize how sweet he is, their brains blow up. True story.

So let's hear it for the guy most likely to run, catch, and throw a TD at least once this season. He's the most exciting RB to watch and in his time in the NFL he's been the most consistently awesome. Go Tomlinson.

And on a final LT note, my favorite part of the new Nike Briscoe High commercials is that Tomlinson throws the game winning TD in their first game. That's what I'm talking about.

I'd like to throw out Antwaan Randle-El as also a legitimate possiblity as one who could run, catch and throw a touchdown. That guy is a serious threat if the 'Skins will utilize him.
PS Happy late birthday.
PPS got your letter you are amazing.
