To commemorate USA TODAY's 25th anniversary, a panel of USA TODAY's NFL reporters and editors has produced an anthology of the 25 best NFL players of the past 25 years. Working down from No. 25, we are unveiling one player each weekday until training camp season arrives:
•No. 16 Deion Sanders
His flashy style marked him as a celebrity around the sports world, but it was his skill as one of the game's greatest cornerbacks that earned Deion Sanders the 16th spot on USA TODAY's list.
Many analysts have anointed Sanders as the greatest cover cornerback in the history of the game for the way he effectively locked his assigned receiver out of offensive game plans. Sanders, who has 53 career interceptions, ranks second all-time in both yards off INTs with 1,331 and touchdowns off INTs with nine.

From a 2-14 Raider fan, how did you sleep after your team was 2-14 3 years ago? I could use some tips to make the tears go away...haha.
Like you, I am participating in the Bloggers Choice Awards. Anyway, I would like it very much if you would go to http://www.bloggerschoiceawards.com/blogs/show/21020 and vote for me for best political blog and best overall blog as well, if you feel my blog is of a high quality. I really think I have a legitimate shot at winning. If you are open to spreading the word, that would be cool as well.
Although I love sports, I am not in the sports category, so there is no conflict of interest.
Thank you.
