ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Did we just witness a miracle up in Bristol, Connecticut (you know, the birthplace of sports in America)?
Bristol’s ESPN typically treats any debate or discussion about sports achievements and accomplishments as if nothing happened before the network was born in 1979.
But Jeff Legwold, an ESPN reporter who has covered the NFL for more than 30 years, has put together a list of the greatest players in NFL history that, remarkably, pays homage to players who were on the field 40, 50 years ago — or more.
Which makes a lot of sense, because the NFL, after all, is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
