Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed.

He did not win.

I'd consider him a revolutionary American.


Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s agent and team were not douchebags.

That's not even close to the same thing. That's a terrible analogy. I'm talking SPORTS, and in SPORTS being revolutionary is when you change something and win while doing it. Further, to be a true villain in a sport you have to be both the anti-hero AND successful, another thing the Kai just haven't figured out.

Barry Sanders was revolutionary.

We are successful in everything we have done in GLB tbh.

We changed this game.

While others are just numbers caught up in the shuffle.

Really? So, you have 6 championships sitting on your team page? When did they make those invisible? Or is it a glitch on the homepage? You should get Bort to check that.

And Barry Sanders was great, maybe the greatest, but he didn't change how the position is played. He didn't revolutionize the game of the runningback position. No arguing TB is good, but not revolutionary. Same with Falco.

Marshall Faulk was revolutionary--not Barry.

I don't know. I consider someone to be revolutionary when they change the way the game or position is played, Barry was more a genetic freak of nature then revolutionary. He didn't change defenses, he didn't change the kind of RB's that came into the league (look around, more power RB's then elusive RB's). I mean, he did a lot of great things, but revolutionary players change the game and I just can't credit Barry for that.

How is that funny? Its true. Exactly what Grim truth stated. Marshall Faulk changed the way defenses had to gameplan on a consistent basis. Before his time, no one took advantage of a "receiving" runningback. Do you're research before you blow wind to my statement.

Fail. How's that record working out for ya? You're successful at running the ball and complete failures at everything else.

Fail. If making the team you are playing that week gameplan to stop your runningback (that they'd do normally for any team) is "changing the game" then congrats.

Fail. The teams that go 7-9 are the ones that are just numbers.

This thread should be stickied for epic lulz.

Don't use logic/facts. It'll only confuse them.

Faulk did open the door for Reggie Bush and Brian Westbrook with the RB's being major parts of the passing game. I mean, truly revolutionary players are like the first receiving TE (Ditka), the first Middle Linebacker (I know it was a Bear... Singletary, maybe), the first scrambling/running QB's (Tarkleton I think), etc. Being a speedy or elusive RB wasn't new, it didn't change the position...

I think maybe half if not more of those players came before Barry. Barry didn't revolutionize how elusive RB's play, he just did it better then anyone else.
