    I'm watching it on NFL Network right now. Glad to see they got the recognition they deserve.

    Edited for ignorance... my bad

    I wasn't alive in 1968... Snell and Boozer didn't ring a bell.

    What were they ranked in 1968? Seems to be more pertinent....

    Actually quite low - the Jets were 8th out of the 10 AFL teams in total yards, and 9th out of 10 in yards per attempt, although they led the league in rushing TDs.

    Obviously I loved Snell and Boozer at the time, and still have very fond memories of them, but I think to put them among the top 10 alltime RB combos is pretty ridiculous, unless the definition is specifically that neither of the two RBs in question is allowed to have been a superstar. Now, if you wanted to talk about a top 10 alltime WR combo, Maynard and Sauer could easily be in the conversation.

    Well I officially feel like an idiot, lol. I thought that he meant for the upcoming season. I don't have TV in my new apartment just yet... So I wasn't able to see it on NFLN


    Anyways, sorry to the OP for disagreement.

    Technically no, since sperm is recycled on a daily basis... but fair enough since it was my own ignorance that started this whole mess.
