I think you have to consider Dick Shatto and Michael Clemons of the Toronto Argonauts and Ron Stewart of the Ottawa Rough Riders.

Did you read the article dyams? He's #6 on the list.

Yeah, I read the article. I was only commenting on the name itself. Normie Kwong? Not exactly Larry Csonka.

What does Larry Csonka have to do with a list of top running backs in the Canadian Football League?

I was laughing at the guys freakin' name! Jeez, does everything have to be spelled out? Normie Kwong sounds like a chess player who works for Nokia. Larry Csonka sounds like your typical tough, bruising running back. And I know, I know, Normie was a great player in CFL history. My comment has nothing to do with that. Wow.

Not a bad list, I guess. Are there any noticeable absences, or should there be some honourable mentions? For me, I'd say that Willard Reeves should be an HM at least. Jim Germany from the EE dynasty era would be another candidate. John Henry White always gave me fits when he was with the Lions too. Others?
