Singles Only (NFL Edition)

Lately I've been doing a little throwback gaming,playing season modes In Madden 98,and It got me thinking about those players from the 90's that I loved so much  like,Emmitt Smith,Barry Sanders,Thurman Thomas,Elway..and the list goes on. I've made It a point to try and recoup some of those players cards that I used to own as a kid and add a few that I never had but always wanted.I loved running backs,who doesn't?Below are only a few of the many that I still have to covet.I'll also be trying to accumulate 80's Broncos cards of Elway,Humphries and Vance Johnson.This will be a change of pace for me and an enjoyable endeavor ,what with MLB In hibernation mode.

  

90's Football Video Game King - Barry Sanders!

I've always been a fan of baseball,but didn't really get into football until I started playing Tecmo Bowl on the NES.That Super Bowl between the Broncos and the Giants In 87 kind of lit the fire ,but it was the video games that fanned the flames.My first memories of Tecmo Bowl was rushing for a 70 plus run touchdown with Bo Jackson ,down In my buddies basement.I must have been 12 or 13 then.After that I was hooked!The legend of Tecmo would ensue on the SNES and later, Madden  would come In and dominate the genre .Chronologically,I should have started this themed post with Bo Jackson,but I don't have any of his cards at the moment.However,I recently picked up  a card of my second favorite all time football video game player,Barry Sanders!Yeah,he was awesome In real life,but untouchable In video games.I remember getting Into arguments with anyone who chose the Lions on Madden or Super Tecmo Bowl because It usually meant game over for me.In single player  season modes,I would dominate with Sanders,Perriman and Herman Moore,usually making It to the playoffs.I'm thinking about making this a recurring theme,featuring not only football but also baseball and basketball video game legends.
