My thoughts on sports and life

Everybody loves a good superhero. In a world which so often seems unfair, its nice to know that there's an escape where, in the end, good always wins. For approximately 22 pages at a time, it's easy to get lost in the world where you can depend on someone to stand up for truth and justice. The best superheroes are ones who not only defend what's right (well, mostly anyway), but also bring with them great stories, abilities, and moments. The heroes on this list are all awesome in their own way. Their position is based on ability to beat the bad guys, cool factor, and more than either of those, how much I like them. 40. Rorschach: "Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all ...

There are no great heroes without great villains. Both DC and Marvel comics have provided some legendary ones, and they come in all types. Some of them have incredible powers that they use for evil.

The rankings are based on several factors, including ability to cause chaos. However, coolness, longevity, body count, and overall aptitude for evil are factored in. The other factor is my own personal feelings about the character. Since I'm writing, how much I like him/her, and in some cases, my lack of knowledge about is weighted in. Enjoy. 35. Two-Face: How do you not love a guy who lets a coin toss decide if he's just delusional, or if he's batshit crazy? His unpredictability makes him fun and has kept him around for over 70 years. 34. Red Skull: Combine a creepy visage with a Nazi scumbag and you get Red Skull. If not for Capta...

The NFL Hall of Fame is a shrine to the greatest football players ever to play the game. Housed in the hallowed halls of its Canton, Ohio home are reminders of those who excelled like few others could. Outside of the offensive line, no position is more represented than running back, which outnumbers even quarterback. Among the ball carriers enshrined are some of the game's most beloved players, with Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Jim Brown, and Earl Campbell among others. Running backs spent many years as a premium spot for the most talented guys, but there's been a shift in that thinking. Looking at the modern-era running backs who are enshrined, a pattern emerges, especially if you look at the backs who have been elected over the past 30-40 years. Nearly to a man, they have at least 10,000 rushing yards and 10 years experience starting in the league. Using the list of all-time leaders in rushing yards, 14 of the top 20 rushers of all-time are in the Hall, with another a good...
