## Resource

A Chicago Bears site’s ranking of the top 100 running backs crowned Barry Sanders as the ultimate GOAT with 72 points—thanks to his stats, awards, and highlight reel—but the writer still put Walter Payton first and Jim Brown second, arguing Sanders’ lack of versatility kept him from the top spot. It’s a hilarious twist: a Bears site accidentally validating Detroit’s running back legend while fans everywhere defend their hometown heroes. Stats vs. soul—this debate’s never ending.
