seems like repository has followed suit with some ridiculous pics but at least they cut it back to only three Qb on offense instead of five
but wait they made up for it with only 2 dl and 7 lbs on defense
lol a 2-7-2 defense
i guess my point for all you -doorknobs is this
what happened to 1 qb 2- rb 5 lineman 3-4 receivers
pick a first team, second team, third team, whatever it takes to get your "favorites" on a team..but have the intestinal fortitude to pick the best (in your opinion)
this is as politically correct as the whbc list gutless
