For seven months, the intense sun has beaten down on the turf and grass of these NFL fields, but in October the air fills with the promise of glory, riding on a cool breeze. As we gaze out upon the verdant field, we see many different species of the elusive NFL receiver. Ah yes, here come some now.

You could say that Michael Irvin was Sheshaun's ancestor, but then again, you could always go back further for all of those.

Why is the Browns' defender grabbing Steve Smith's junk?

I'm a fan of the "Freakazoidus Athleticus", I've got all 3 of those guys on my fantasy team.

santana moss should be in the small, fast category

James said...

Agreed anon -- Moss would definitely fit there.

No Braylon Edwards?

Brandon Marshall's a beast. He's very fast for his size and he plays very physically. They call him Baby TO for a reason. He's not in the right category.

Where is Jerry Rice, and Roy Williams?

James said...

Rice is an alien - thus no species, and Roy Williams doesn't deserve one.

Freakazoidus Athleticus= Anquan Boldin

Freakazoidus Athleticus must include Larry Fitzgerald. He's like the direct descendant of Randy Moss.

Sorry, but Marshall is definitely the Freakazoidus Athleticus variety here. Bad call

James said...

I'd say they are Binkys and Freaks
