Andre Tippett not being on the NFL Top 100 was a snub of epic proportions.
He was 95% of LT ... Slightly different role, different approach, but just as devastating. And while the three LB's he played alongside - Nelson, McGrew, Blackmon - were good, they weren't Peppers/Banks/Carson good.

On February 4, 1969 John Madden, at the age of 32, was named the Oakland Raiders' head coach becoming professional football's youngest head coach to that time. Madden was initially hired by Al Davis as linebackers coach for the Raiders in 1967, putting him in the Sid Gillman coaching tree. He helped the Raiders reach Super Bowl II that season. A year later, after Raiders head coach John Rauch resigned to take the same position with the Bills, Davis named Madden head coach. In 1976, the Raiders went 13–1 in the regular season, and escaped the first round of the playoffs with a dramatic and controversial victory over the Patriots. In the second round of the playoffs they defeated the Steelers for the AFC Championship. On January 9, 1977, Madden's Raiders finally captured their first Super Bowl with a convincing 32–14 win over the Vikings. After the Raiders failed to qualify for the postseason in 1978, Madden announced his retirement on January 4, 1979 due to an increasingly deteriorating ulcer condition and occupational burnout. Among Madden's accomplishments as a head coach were winning a Super Bowl, and becoming the youngest coach to reach 100 career regular season victories, a record he compiled in only 10 full seasons of coaching at the age of 42. Madden is still the coach with the most wins in Raiders history with 103 regular season wins and 112 wins adding playoff victories. Madden never had a losing season as a head coach. His overall winning percentage, including playoff games, ranks second in league history. Madden achieved his record during a period that included head coaches Tom Landry, Don Shula, Chuck Noll and Bud Grant, who are generally regarded as the top coaches of that era.

I remember when Tebow found Jesus. He then proceeded to underthrow him by 10 yards.
Jim Brown: The Syracuse Basketball Star You Never Knew About
The NFL Hall of Famer and college football legend also played hoop for the Orangemen from 1954-1956. At 6’2 and 212 pounds, Brown was described as a ferocious rebounder and, to no one’s surprise, the best athlete on the court at all times. He averaged 13.1 points per game in his two years with the team.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brown chose not return to the team for his senior season in ‘57 because he was not permitted to be a starter. Unfortunately, Syracuse was operating under an unwritten rule stating that the team was only allowed to start three black players at one time.
Many Syracuse faithful speculate Brown would have been the missing piece to the school’s first national championship that year. Instead, the school had to wait until 2003 to win that elusive title.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brown also played lacrosse at Cuse, where he was named an All-American and established himself as one of the greatest collegiate players of all time. He also dabbled in track-and-field when his schedule permitted it, once placing 5th in the decathlon at a National Championship meet.

Amazingly, basketball appeared to be Jim Brown’s “worst” sport in college.

Tough choice, but yes ...
He's so smart that, even at his age, he doesn't know when the right play is just to STFU.
