In the previous posting, I forgot to log on.
The following is a list to honor a group of workhorses in the NBA and NFL. The guys that get the acknowledgement not for being the main scorer or the main go-to guy but get the acknowledgement for how hard they bust their behind in getting the job done. In my view, these guys don't get enough credit. Feel free to throw in a name if I left anyone worthy off the list.
