Joe cannot say enough good things about the NFL Network. It truly is manna from heaven for football fans. Joe swears a day does not go by that he doesn’t spend a part of it watching NFL Network.

In an endless examples of why the NFL Network is superior, Rich Eisen, Marshall Faulk and Michael Lombardi discuss the Top 10 NFL players to come out of Purdue. Boilermaker and former Bucs great Mike Alstott was No. 4.

That’s pretty heady company Alstott is in. The players ahead of him on that list are all in the Hall of Fame: Rod Woodson (who will be inducted this weekend), Len Dawson and Bob Griese.

Something tells Joe that Vacation Man was not fond of this list.
