 the best CTK I have ever seen.  I've had the privilege of working with some truly fantastic viewing opportunities over the years thanks to CTK, and I have to say that this outshines them all.  To borrow a phrase from Brother Ali (one of this generations most talented lyricists), you could cast shadows on the sun using the brilliance that emanates from this edition of the countdown.

There can be no better human in the world than Coach Jackson when it comes to assessing running back talent and expressing it with the perfect amount of hyperbole and optimism.

They look like air soft guns to me, you can see the gun on the left is made of clear plastic, so I am guessing the one on the right is also made of plastic.  I'll bet my 401K that Fred Jackson doesn't let kids play with real guns in his household.

Who can tell a story that appears to have a great message, but ends up having none, and still holds you on the edge of your seat just waiting for it. The players seem to respect him as a coach and father-figure and that's exactly what I like to see from a coaching staff.

Everytime he speaks, I like him more.  He sounds like a professional - he shows great maturity and an understanding of the task at hand.  He seems to get the big picture.

Now everyone can make up his/her own mind, but I have to admit that I love Cox.  Can't get enough of Cox quite frankly.  If you haven't given Cox a chance, you really should.  I hope that Fred Jackson will too.

is the perfect counterpoint to RR.  As I remember you rarely hear superlatives or hyperbole from Coach Rod but, Coach Jackson is all he's the best running back and blocker since Barry Sanders only with speed.
