Earl blocked a punt the one time I put him on that unit, and then I took him off.
I don't even know how to go about that. Those best teams of all time will never play each other. That's the way to decide who's best. It's about the only way I know.
I enjoy traveling and playing some of the well-known courses sometimes, but basically, I have a good time at Barton Creek.
