I've been in a few fights in my lifetime. I'm the youngest of six so growing up I was always the target of random acts of violence. In school i took out my frustrations on classmates who would steal my playdough. Until one day i fought a kid named frank lopez, he was short, scrawny and looked like just a natural *****. Needless to say, he beat the ever loving **** out of me.

Ever since then, I've been weary of "scrappy" guys. I wouldn't want to get into a fist fight with the johnny knoxville's of the world because you never know what they'll bring to the table.

my pick was the epitome of scrappyness. Misleading in stature, secure in performance and always guaranteed to knock the ever loving piss out of you.

I take Offensive tackle Frank “Bruiser” Kinard.

Conitnuing in the defensive building, I will select Carl Eller. A fixture of the famed "Purple People Eaters"

In one three-season period from 1975 to 1977, Eller recorded 44 sacks, according to unofficial statistics (sacks did not become an official NFL statistic until 1982).

Eller was named first- or second-team All-Pro every year from 1967 through 1973. He was All-NFL or All-NFC from 1968 through 1973 and then All-NFC again in 1975. In 1971, he won the George Halas Award as the NFL defensive player of the year and was selected to play in six Pro Bowls (1969-1972, 1974, and 1975).

Simply put, Eller is one of the best defensive linemen of, not only his era, but any era.

There can be only one RB for this team, Bronko Nagurski, one of the toughest football players ever to live.

Merlin Olsen


Watching Merlin Olsen play football was like watching a surgeon in an operating room. No wasted motion, precise and near-perfect technique, absolute confidence and self-control. Olsen performed his operations on Sunday afternoons for 15 NFL seasons, carving up linemen and quarterbacks who struggled to deal with one of the greatest defensive lines ever assembled.

As the stabilizing force and charter member of the Los Angeles Rams' Fearsome Foursome defensive front wall in the 1960s, the 6-5, 270-pound Olsen was a prototypical tackle with incredible upper body strength, explosive speed and the agility to outmaneuver frustrated blockers. But the real secret to his success came from within -- the Phi Beta Kappa classroom skills that he used to dissect the game and the players he competed against.

Off the field, Olsen was a gentle giant who spoke with soft, measured words about topics ranging from finance to politics. On the field, he played with control and discipline, unwilling to get caught up in the emotion and animalistic violence that sometimes dominated his occupation. He worked for 10 years as the left-side partner with Hall of Fame end Deacon Jones, forming one of the great pass-rushing, run-stuffing combinations in NFL history.

FB Marion Motley

"When the Browns were accepted into the NFL in 1950, opponents got their first look at the new-era fullback -- a blocker and runner with elusiveness instead of the traditional line plunger. They quickly designed defenses to stop him, but he still led the league in rushing. When Motley retired after the 1953 season (he made a brief 1955 comeback with Pittsburgh), he had compiled an amazing 5.7-yard rushing average in the AAFC /NFL and his teams had won five league championships and lost in the title game three times."

P-rez selects WR Fred Biletnikoff

Fred Biletnikoff, a 6-1, 190-pounder with excellent hands and deceptive speed, caught 589 passes for 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns during his 14-year career with the Oakland Raiders from 1965 through 1978. At the time of his retirement, Fred not only dominated the Raiders' record book for pass receiving but he owned several significant NFL marks as well. Along with another Hall of Fame receiver, Raymond Berry, Fred held the record for having caught 40 or more passes in 10 consecutive seasons. His 70 receptions, 1,167 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns in 19 post-season games were also NFL post-season career records.

The talented pass-catcher came to the Raiders as their No. 2 draft pick in 1965. A 1964 All-America at Florida State, Biletnikoff caught four touchdown passes in his team's Gator Bowl victory over Oklahoma. He also played in the College All-Star game before reporting to the Raiders' training camp. Biletnikoff started as a special teams player and did not see action as a flanker until the seventh game of his rookie campaign.

When he did get a chance to start, he responded with a seven-catch, 118-yard performance and, in the process, became a regular for good. A durable, dependable performer, Biletnikoff missed only eight games because of injury in 14 seasons. Biletnikoff, a native of Erie, PA, reached the zenith of a career filled with outstanding achievements when he caught four passes for 79 yards to set up three Oakland scores in the Raiders’ 32-14 victory in Super Bowl XI. He was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

Fred was an All-AFL pick in that league's final 1969 season, earned All-Pro honors in 1972, and won All-AFC acclaim in 1970, 1972 and 1973. He played in two AFL All-Star games and four AFC-NFC Pro Bowl games as well as three AFL and five AFC championship games, plus Super Bowls II and XI.
