When it comes to GOAT debates in football, it feels like the running back position is extremely disrespected. People will talk about quarterbacks, wide receivers, and sometimes even defensive players. However, running backs are that one position that seems to lose out on a lot of the love that they truly deserve. Well, today on FS1's Undisputed, Shannon Sharpe tried to change that as he gave his list of best running backs ever, and it's a pretty interesting one to say the least.
At number one, Sharpe put Barry Sanders, while Walter Payton is in second. In third place, we have Jim Brown while Emmitt Smith and Eric Dickerson take over the fourth and fifth spots, respectively. What made this list interesting is Sharpe's admission that had it not been for his alleged off the field transgressions, OJ Simpson would have cracked the top 5.
Interestingly enough, Skip Bayless actually agreed with a lot of what Sharpe was saying here which just goes to show how agreeable the list was. Either way, there are certainly some people out there who are going to want to debate this so if you have a differing opinion, go ahead and sound off in the comments below.
O.J. Simpson Convinced "Tiger King" Star Carole Baskin Killed Her Husband
O.J. Simpson speaks on "Tiger King" and Carole Baskin as he remains on the golf course during the coronavirus pandemic.
Much like the rest of us, O.J. Simpson has watched the new Netflix docu-series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem & Madness and he has some theories over what actually happened to Carole Baskin's husband.
The former football star is widely believed to have gotten away with murder, and now he seems to believe that Carole Baskin has done the same thing.
Recording a video on the golf course where he is currently not social distancing, O.J. Simpson claimed that he watched the majority of Tiger King this week and he is convinced that Baskin had something to do with her husband's death.

"There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that that lady's husband is tiger sashimi right now," said Simpson before laughing and signing off.
Carole Baskin has vehemently denied having anything to do with her husband's death, for the record.
In the same video, Simpson makes a comment about race and the current state of America.
"Oh my god, is America in this bad of shape?" asks the man. "I watched about six episodes of this show and I couldn't even believe what I was looking at. White people! What's with you and wild animals? Leave them animals alone!"

O.J. Simpson Rehashes Past Problems With Gayle King Amid Kobe Bryant Controversy
“I’m not the most objective guy when it comes to Gayle King..."
While the intensity of the controversy surrounding Gayle King's recent interview with Lisa Leslie is dying down a bit, O.J. Simpson chiming in with his two cents it's worth taking into consideration for a moment. To recap the controversy, King has been receiving heavy criticism for asking Leslie about whether Kobe Bryant's past rape allegations leave a stain on his legacy. 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Boosie Badazz all publicly denounced King for bringing this up so soon after Bryant's passing. Oprah, who is a close friend of the CBS This Morning host, detailed that King was struggling with all the backlash and had to increase her security due to violent threats.
O.J. Simpson has made a habit of sharing selfie videos on social media, speaking his mind on whatever topic he so pleases. With the King story taking over the news, O.J. recalled his past issues with her. “I’m not the most objective guy when it comes to Gayle King," he said. “Two years back on national TV that she made a comment that it was inappropriate for me to be visiting my ex-wife’s grave, something that my family and friends have done for years on birthdays, Christmas and special occasions — something that’s none of her business and I couldn’t understand why she felt the need to make that comment on national TV.”
The Juice then got into why he disapproves of what King did during the Leslie interview. “The other thing is this Kobe Bryant, Gayle King thing. I know this thing about Kobe, she’s going to claim ‘journalistic integrity.’ A whole lot of people that have journalistic integrity didn’t feel that this was the right time to do that. There will be plenty of time in the future to bring up all aspects of Kobe’s life. Right now we should be celebrating the greatness of Kobe and his family. God bless Kobe and his family. I’m just sayin, take care.”
Kim Kardashian & Family Believe Psalm West Is A Reincarnation Of Robert Kardashian Sr.
The family is very close to Psalm because they believe their family member has returned.
Baby Psalm West was welcomed into the world a surrogate last Spring, rounding out Kanye West and Kim Kardashian‘s brood to four children. The uber-famous parents shared the journey with the public and were thrilled to continue growing their family. However, Kim recently shared with E! News that she believes that Psalm, who’s approaching his first birthday in May, is a reincarnation of her late father Robert Kardashian Sr.
The businessman and attorney was known for his connection with O.J. Simpson’s infamous double murder case back in 1995 as he was on the legal team representing his football star friend. Robert Sr. would later be diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2003 and just months later he passed away.
While speaking with E! about her SKIMS line launching at Nordstroms in New York City, Kim was asked about her children. “My son, Psalm, is probably the happiest baby alive,” she said. “He’s always smiling, always happy… On our show, we showed that we were in Bali, and a woman—a blind medium—came up to me and said that I was gonna have another son and that it was gonna be my father reincarnated.”
Kim added that there was no way someone fed this woman information because at that time no one knew that their surrogate was pregnant with a boy. She also shared a story of her nanny’s strange interaction while she was with Psalm. “My baby nurse, I had to go out of town and I really needed her to come in,” she shared. “But she had a baby shower that she had to go to. And I said, ‘It’s okay, you can bring my son to the baby shower, if that’s okay with you.’ I really needed the help. She brings him to a baby shower, and a woman comes up to her and said, ‘Is this your son?’ And she said, ‘No, no, no, I’m just watching him.’ And she said, ‘Well, I just have to tell you, please tell their mom this is a family member of hers reincarnated.'”
“Multiple people that had no idea that was my nanny or anything have come up to my baby to say that he’s a family member reincarnated,” Kim stated. “So my whole family, all the time, thinks it’s my dad and is just so emotional and close to him… He’s left-handed, like my dad,” she revealed. “So, all these things happen. I don’t even know if I believe in reincarnation, but I do now. But I want to believe it!” Watch her clip below.
OJ Simpson Blasts MLB Hall Of Fame Voter Who Snubbed Derek Jeter
The Juice is less than impressed.
Ever since being released from prison a few years ago, OJ Simpson has been doing his best to keep a low profile while out in public. It wasn't until recently that the former NFL player began making Twitter videos where he gives his opinion on a wide range of topics including politics, sports, and fantasy football. Yesterday, Simpson was particularly perturbed after it was revealed that Derek Jeter was one vote shy of unanimously making it to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Many have been trying to figure out who the voter was and some are even calling for them to be banned from voting.
Simpson seems to be one of the voices as he took to Twitter to condemn the anonymous voter. As Simpson explained, Jeter's talent and impact on the sport are undeniable which makes it crazy for him not to be voted unanimously. Simpson thinks the writer should have his voting right revoked.
He also suggested the writer might be Boston considering Red Sox fans hate those who played for the Yankees. Either way, Simpson is upset and wants to see some kind of justice here.
Simpson also spoke about the Super Bowl and how he is betting on the San Francisco 49ers. Clearly, OJ has some strong opinions when it comes to the world of sports.
