Some players were obvious choices for teams, including Brett Favre for the Packers and Barry Sanders for the Lions, but there were some question picks, as well.</p>
<p>The site added links to video of each player, as well as a chance to debate each choice. </p>
<p>Here were some of the more obvious selections:</p>
<blockquote><p>49ers: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3562&#038;action=1&#038;question26997=107348">Joe Montana, QB</a><br />
Packers: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3581&#038;action=1&#038;question27016=107458">Brett Favre, QB</a><br />
Lions: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3580&#038;action=1&#038;question27015=107427">Barry Sanders, RB</a><br />
Browns: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3567&#038;action=1&#038;question27002=107558">Jim Brown, RB</a><br />
Dolphins: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3574&#038;action=1&#038;question27009=107721">Dan Marino, QB</a><br />
Patriots: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3583&#038;action=1&#038;question27018=107686">Tom Brady, QB</a><br />
Broncos: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3566&#038;action=1&#038;question27001=107403">John Elway, QB</a><br />
Chargers: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3570&#038;action=1&#038;question27005=107417">LaDainian Tomlinson, RB</a><br />
Colts: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3572&#038;action=1&#038;question27007=107457">Peyton Manning, QB</a></p></blockquote>
<p>And some of the more questionable choices:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/keithallison/2311650042/" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" style="float:right;margin:6px 0 5px 5px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2354/2311650042_474f36dd00.jpg?v=0" border="0" width="197" height="250" alt="" /></a>Ravens: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3586&#038;action=1&#038;question27020=107547">Matt Stover, K</a><br />
Saints: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3588&#038;action=1&#038;question27022=107512">Bobby Hebert, QB</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As a colleague pointed out, it’s hard to argue with any of these picks because they were chosen by fans. But Matt Stover over Ray Lewis? Bobby Hebert over Archie Manning? </p>
<p>Lewis has been the face of Baltimore’s franchise for almost a decade and Stover is a kicker (albeit a very good kicker) for Jonathan Ogden’s sake. And I know Hebert was a fan favorite that led the team to the playoffs in 1988, but if Manning had a better team around him, he might have led the Saints to their first ever Super Bowl. I thought Pat Swilling would have gotten more love, too. (Swilling only got 2.4% of votes.)</p>
<p>Cool feature, though.</p>
