    You really pissed me off! How in the heck can you leave off Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (Chris Jackson) from the top 25 list? Are you kidding me? Show me a better career avg for any 2 year player in the last 25 years! Also you must of never heard of Freeman Williams my cousin!

    Just read your list of the Most Hated Players. Without arguing about any of your individual picks (I have enjoyed hating a number of those players and coaches along the way), I still wonder: why do you think such a high proportion of Most Hated Players are white? Basketball at the uppermost levels -- among Americans anyway -- is an overwhelmingly African-American game, yet just about half your Most Hated (15/34 players, leaving coaches aside) are white. What accoutns for this? Do we hate the striver and struggler (eg Ainge) who succeeds through sheer brute determination?

    You forgot Alexander, (Ace) Wright from Auburn, (who played for the Dallas Cowboys and Raiders). He won the NFL fastest man twice, (and I think he beat Darrell Green one year), and reportedly ran a 4.09 and 4.07 in his last camp in Dallas, (as well as benching 445 pounds at 190 lbs).

    Doug, first of all i love the work. Second i was reading your fastest players ever in the NFL. Well you failed to leave out Randal "Thrill" Hill. A 4.21 in his pre draft tryouts..... The Boy had afterburners. If you havent seen any tape take a look
