	Lawrence Taylor redefined the linebacker position during his career.

Readers' pick: Lawrence Taylor, LB

This is the biggest no-brainer in the division. Taylor redefined his position and he was a nightmare for offensive coordinators. From the time he retired, every scouting director has been in search of the next Lawrence Taylor. And there's a good chance that will never happen.

The recently retired Michael Strahan checks in at No. 2, and quarterback Phil Simms is third. I'm proud to see that Giants fans haven't completely forgotten about the great Andy Robustelli, who went to seven Pro Bowls as a defensive end in the 50s and 60s. He missed one game during his 14-year career.

That said, I'm somewhat startled to see that Hall of Famers Sam Huff and Harry Carson finished behind Tiki Barber.

Maybe I still have a bad taste in my mouth about Barber's less-than-gracious exit, but I think Huff and Carson deserve more credit.

One more thing: Any particular reason the great Rosie Brown was left off the list? Last time I checked, he was in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

	Reggie White was a dominant pass-rusher during his career.

Readers' pick: Reggie White, Defensive end

It's impossible to argue with the top pick, and that's why White ended up with nearly 49 percent of the vote. When you talk about great pass rushers in the modern era, White is the gold standard.

The last of the two-way stars, Chuck Bednarik, checks in at No. 2. Every organization has an iconic player who is emblematic of the fan base. And that's why thousands of Eagles fans own that black-and-white picture of Bednarik standing over a lifeless Frank Gifford.

I'm not surprised that Randall Cunningham finished ahead of Donovan McNabb, although I think McNabb is the better quarterback. This city fell in love with Cunningham, and old habits die hard. I did think that Ron Jaworski would finish higher than seventh place.

I get the fact that Brian Dawkins embodies the city's passion, but I'm surprised that he and Brian Westbrook finished ahead of Jaworski, who led to the team to a Super Bowl. Other players who should've been considered were "Super Bill" Bradley, Eric Allen and Bob Brown.

One major gripe: The late, great Jerome Brown has to be on this list.

Now, I'm anxious to hear from you guys.

	Fresh off his induction into the Hall of Fame, Darrell Green was voted the greatest Washington Redskin of all time.

Readers' pick: Darrell Green, CB

Not that he didn't deserve top honors, but you have to think Darrell Green's timing was pretty good for being voted No. 1. Green and Art Monk grabbed the top two spots a couple of weeks after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Running back John Riggins may be the most iconic player in franchise history and that's why I was surprised to see him check in at No. 4 on the list, one spot behind quarterback Sammy Baugh. In some franchises, the old-timers got the shaft in SportsNation voting, but Redskins fans showed off their knowledge by taking care of some of the past greats.

Quarterback Joe Theismann finished one spot ahead of Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen, but that's not a big surprise. He led the team to a couple of Super Bowls, and still spends time around the organization.

Anyone who watched Ken Houston play safety knows that he's too far down on the list. Dexter Manley was a tremendous player, but to put him ahead of Houston and wide receiver Charley Taylor doesn't seem right.

And is it too much to get one of the Hogs on the list? Russ Grimm, Joe Jacoby, I'll vote for both of those guys. Only one more major problem with this list: If I'm going to get called "Mark" my entire life because of a Redskins kicker, Mark Moseley has to be on the list.

	Emmitt Smith was voted the greatest player in Cowboys history.

Readers' pick: Emmitt Smith, RB

I'm not surprised that our SportsNation friends selected Smith as the greatest player in Cowboys history. But the fact that it was such a landslide caught me off-guard. Smith won with more than half of the votes, and Roger Staubach was a distant second. Staubach is the most iconic member of the organization, so I thought it would be a lot closer.

It's also surprising that Troy Aikman only finished with a small percentage of the vote. I watched pretty much every game during the Super Bowl years of the early '90s and you always had the feeling that the Triplets (Aikman, Smith and Michael Irvin) were all about equal in terms of their importance to the team.

My biggest gripe about the fan voting is that defensive tackle Bob Lilly finished sixth, behind offensive lineman Larry Allen. This tells me that we didn't have a lot of the 50-and-over crowd rockin' the vote. I'm not old enough to have watched Lilly in his prime, but they call him "Mr. Cowboy" for a reason.

Putting him sixth on a list of all-time Cowboys is way low. On my list, he would be fighting for the top spot. Allen was a great player, but I have a hard time putting him ahead of Randy White, Rayfield Wright, Michael Irvin and Mel Renfro. Honestly, I'd have a hard time putting him ahead of Lee Roy Jordan and Cliff Harris, but I'll save those arguments for another day.
