The "Truth" on ESPN's 25 greatest players list

Dear ESPN,

I don't know what kind of non-sense compells you to do what you do sometimes, but this is just funny, that's what this is - it's funny. The fact that you named Charles Woodson as the 11th greatest player of all time in College Football is damn certain disgrace. I don't want to dispute whether or not this squirrel could defend himself or catch a nut or even that he belonged in a tree. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about it on message boards, you want him on that wall -- you need him on that wall. It doesn't matter to you that he only had 6 interceptions, 11 "amazing catches", and was 70th in the NCAA in punt return average. He did it against Ohio State and on National TV. We use words like "Character" "Leader" "Winner." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defining something. You use them as a punch line and taint them because someone wears that hiddeous Mazon and Blue.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a Network who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very ratings that I provide and then questions the integrity in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "We screwed up, and should not have given him the Heisman" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up an encycolpedia and talk to some intelligent football fans. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think He's entitled to because he played for Michigan!

Somebody at that Chicken-little network better explain how they think he was better than Reggie Bush or Johnnie Rogers or Dick Butkus or Jim Brown. Do your Job. All you people did was weaken an honorable list. You have no idea what it takes to define greatness. You make me sick. I'm thinking about ripping out your eyes and spitting in your skull. Michigan is a disgrace. I'm going back to my base.

Sincerely,

Col. Nathan R. Jessup
