    We're assuming 2,000 of those folks didn't immediately click away when they realized it was done by some dude from his basement?

    Oh, and ANY list about the top combine performances in history that doesn't include Mike Mamula is ... well, you get what you pay for, I suppose.

    Along those lines, my list of the top college basketball programs ever:

    5. Florida
    4. Duke
    3. Kansas
    2. Memphis
    1. North Carolina

    Well, you can't argue with that.

    Exactly. Someone making a list is not groundbreaking news. If I really need a Top 10, I'll start DVR'ing Letterman again. And even Sports Illustrated holds itself to one swimsuit edition a year.

    When he spelled "Tommy" Smith wrong -- it's Tommie Smith -- that was enough for me.
    It proves you don't know what you're doing, so, thankfully, I didn't bother to read the rest.
    But I did enjoy the Kaley Cuoco and Minka Kelly photos.

    Well, any list of top college basketball programs ever that doesn't include UCLA and Kentucky is... well you get what you pay for.

    Memphis should be higher.

    The fact that Bleacher Report has a guy on here whose first post on this thread was something like "we don't claim to be investigative journalists and you don't need access to do this job....." tells everything you need to know about why BleacherReport is a joke.

    And anyone who credentials bleacher report should have their ability to credential revoked, well unless their goal is to have fanboys wearing team colors in the press box.

    I'm all for online, hell I think dotcoms do a better job than newspapers in a lot of ways -- but Bleacher Report is 100 percent amateur hour and if Hearst is too cheap or too dumb to realize this then they get whatever it is they have coming to them.

    UCLA and Kentucky are so 1912-2009.

    I didn't really need the sarcasm color for the Top 5, I hope.

    Some people are just color blind.

    Which is why Kentucky wasn't on the list.

    Oooops.
