Emmitt vs Barry: An Unpopular Opinion Of Football's Biggest Debate Of The 90's (Revised Version) Kindle Edition

There is no simple answer to the question of who the better player was between Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders because it's not a simple question. The uninformed use statistics to make their arguments, but they're worthless in this debate. If done with other logical fans, the Emmitt/Barry debate can be a fun topic for a number of reasons: they were contemporaries, they were stylistically distinct, and Emmitt played forever while Barry retired early and left behind a bunch of "What If?" questions. Once you break down and compare the abilities of both players, you see that whether you're an Emmitt Enthusiast or a Barry Backer, your preference depends on what you envision for your fantasy coached/owned team. This debate is a time-honored tradition, much like the Wilt Chamberlain/Bill Russell debate in the 60's, Magic Johnson/Larry Bird in the 80's, or for baseball fans, Ken Griffey, Jr./Barry Bonds in the 90's.Please consider this disclaimer before purchasing:This book IS NOT for everybody!! Some people hold a core belief that is very strong, and when they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence can't be accepted. And because it's so important to protect that core belief, they will rationalize, ignore, and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief. The target audience for this book is people that can accept new ways of looking at situations and are willing to evolve when they get presented with evidence that works against their beliefs. With that being said.......*If you have a closed mind, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.*If you can't accept new ways of looking at things, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.*If you can't rethink your beliefs when you get presented with information that contradicts them, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.*If you have a preconceived idea that this book was written to tear down Barry Sanders in order to prop up Emmitt Smith, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.*If narratives are more important to you than facts, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. ***Originally Published On September 15, 2024*** Read more
