All Boss Team: Offense

A Boss. Its one part swagger, one part physicality, and a cocktail of ownership and beastliness. In the NFL, there are stars, there are speedsters, there are mauling offensive lineman, there are the pretty boys (I'm looking at you.... Tommy B), and then there are the bosses. They are the ultimate at their position of unearthing a psychotic level of physical play, able to terrorize opponents with their skill and their swag. This is what makes the NFL great. In the brashest of sports, these are the brashest at their positions. The Boss team.

QB - Peyton Manning, Indianapolis



You can be a boss and be brainy. Peyton is the boss in every definition of the word. He is the owner of the league. He is the leader of the pack. He has the swagger. That look, that fierce look that Peyton gives when he's being challenged, it exudes a confident swagger. He simply does not lose. He simply does not get fooled. He is The Boss on offense.

RB - Chris Johnson, Tennessee

The dreads, the speed, the moves, the confidence to challenge Usain Bolt to a 50m race (however ridiculous that may be). He is the boss at running back. He is a week-in and week-0ut beast. He is the dirtiest man on offense, with the grill and the look and the fact that he went to the East Carolina football factory. Chris Johnson can do everything on the field, and that is more than the fumbler can say for himself.

WR1 - Andre Johnson, Houston

He may not talk all that much. He may not do any dances, may not hold up signs or plead for the ball. All he does is own any DB that tries to cover him. With no other target at all at receiver on that team, and only an above-average QB throwing him the ball, he's got over 100 catches and 1500 yards each of the last two years. Also, he's from the U. He's got that quiet swag. Plus, he's also a physical monster, at 6'4'', 220 lbs. A WR in a LB body. Boss.

WR2 - Steve Smith, Carolina

He is tiny, he is fast, he is the most physical receiver in the league. He's punched out teammates, and scored a TD with a broken arm. He also establishes the rules and regulations of the game. They are 89. That is it. Rules, over. Regulations, over. Steve Smith is the man.

WR3 - Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh

Any player who can pull the trifecta of getting a punt return TD of the supposed beast Mike Scifres, score an amazing Super-Bowl winning catch, and have a nude picture surface on the internet, with the quadrafecta of having a name of Santonio. He's from "The Ohio State" as well. I can't see how he and Jim Tressell got along at all.

TE - Kevin Boss, Giants










His name is Boss. He has to be on the team. I mean, if Boss Bailey was still roaming the field, he would be a shoo-in. Also, he schooled Rodney Harrison on this play that spearheaded, and kickstarted, the Giants 4th quarter beat-down of the Pats. Just for that, and his very fortunate name, he is a boss.

LT - D'Brickashaw Ferguson, New York (a)










Just for that name alone. I mean, he's got an apostrophe! That is as boss as it comes.

LG - Robert Gallery, Oakland









6'7'', 330 lbs, 32 tattoos, including a arm-length python. He owns three motorcycles and supposedly once ate a 92 oz steak in one sitting. And I only made up one of those. Sure, he was a bust at LT, but is a great LG.

C - Kevin Mawea, Tennessee











He's been sticking his hands through his legs at a high level for the last 14 years. That's enough for me. As always, I know little about o-line play, so I really can't do this with any truthfullness.

Coach - Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh


Six Words: "We Will Unleash Hell in December." Sure, it did not happen, but God was that cool as hell. He is one of the baddest men ever to roam the sidelines.

Owner - Steve Bisciotti, Baltimore








He's the boss of the team with the most all-boss players. A self-made Billionaire, from a family who lost their dad at 8. He started a staffing firm out of his basement, and ended up with 1.5 Billion and the Baltimore Ravens before he turned 40. That is a Boss.

About Me

I am a man who will go by the moniker dmstorm22, or StormyD, but not really StormyD. I'll talk about sports, mainly football, sometimes TV, sometimes other random things, sometimes even bring out some lists (a lot, lot, lot of lists). Enjoy.
