I can't wait to get the LT stamp.

Bronko Nagurski... what a perfect name for a football player.

I hope Walter Payton is added. In my opinion, the greatest all-around player in NFL history.

[Semper Paratus]

No more Islamic commemoration Stamps?

What about O.J. Simpson? He's a CUT above the rest

You slay me (*sarcasm)... Too bad the man's a maniac. He was fun to watch in his prime.

What the bloody hell is a "football hero". Is this country gotten so corupt that our military, some getting killed daily, are not seen as heros and worthy of a postage stamp? Not one dang thing that a football player does makes a hero!

Best Football Player names of all Time:

Larry Czonka & Dick Buttkus

Nice money making scheme for the US Post Office. Many people will buy vast quantities of stamps commemorating sports and movie stars, that wouldn't give a hoot in Hell about historical or geographical stamps.

Not one dang thing that a football player does makes a hero!

Yeah. Kick ball. Get check.

[bedolido]

Larry Czonka & Dick Buttkus

Yup... Don't forget Johnny Unitus

True. They're not heros in the an armed forces sense, or New York policeman way. However, they put their bodies on the line to make me and millions of other fans happy.

[RightWhale]

Is this country gotten so corrupt

Yes, but a few years ago no one would have thought twice about what kind of Orwellian heros we choose. Now, at least a few here and there wonder at the state of our culture. Perhaps a young, competent philosopher is preparing to emerge and show us what we have become and where we ought to be instead. In the footsteps of Marcuse, maybe. Or maybe we have earned shrill Hillary and we'll never achieve our true human destiny.

[bigfootbob]

Even though he's annoying as hell, Joe Theisman has the best football name of the recent era.

[bedolido]

Joe Theisman

Soooo true.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Very Chicago-slanted.

[Pompah]

A name to consider from long,long ago. All you TarHeels.
Charley Choo Choo Justice

[presidio9]

Or Joe Montana.

Charley Choo Choo Justice

Nicknames don't count, or else we'd be talking about Jumbo Elliot and Refrigerator Perry.
