Derrick Brooks, Lee Roy Selmon get snubbed by Sports Illustrated

Over at Sports Illustrated, Doug Farrar and Chris Burke listed the best players in NFL history to suit up with each jersey number. Shockingly, only two Buccaneers made that list. John Lynch (#47) and Warren Sapp (#99). Sapp's inclusion is obvious, even with his increasingly disturbing post-career off-field life, but John Lynch is a little odd. I mean, I love John Lynch -- which Buccaneers fan doesn't? -- but he's ahead of legendary cornerback Mel Blount, here. Lynch likely isn't getting into the Hall of Fame any time soon, and possibly ever. I don't know. This just seems off to me.
