I don't feel the same way about Paul Zimmerman that Timmy Tabloid does, in all his short-mindedness. But MacMahon's theory on Dr. Z being anti-Cowboy gained some more steam today. Unless, you consider Troy Aikman anti-Cowboy, and I know some of you do. In his annual ranking on broadcasters at SI.com, Z takes the Dallas icon to task, giving the Aikman-Buck tandem a 2-star (out of 5) rating. Here's his take on Troy: Neither Buck nor Aikman is concerned with telling you much about defense, who made the tackle, who forced the play, etc., and the production style is to get off a play so quickly that you can't even see the uniform numbers of the people involved. Thus, it is always with a sinking heart that I approach a game this team is working, if I happen to be especially interested in it.
There's a lot of discussion this week about the best quarterbacks in NFL history, because folks are trying to figure out where Tom Brady fits on the list. Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, the Cowboys' Hall of Famers, are also in the discussion. ESPN.com, relying on the opinions of a panel of experts, put together a top 10 list. 1. Johnny Unitas 2. Joe Montana 3. Tom Brady 4. Dan Marino 5. Peyton Manning 6. John Elway 7. Terry Bradshaw 8. Brett Favre 9. Otto Graham 10. Dan Fouts You'll notice that no fella who wore a star on the side of his helmet cracked that list. But the panel picked Aikman as the best pocket passer and Staubach as the coolest customer. ColdHardFootballFacts.com put together a top 10 list, too. It ranked Green Bay's Bart Starr, who was omitted from ESPN.com's top 10, as the best. No Aikman on this one, either, but Staubach is ranked seventh.  Comments (44) Leave comment
