I can't remember if it was Stuart Scott or Salisbury(sp?) but one of them earlier in the season said soemthing like:

"Najeh Davenport is a great number 2 man" .... dramatic pause ... "to Ahman Green."

I don't even know if it was intentional or not but I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at anything on ESPN before or since.

Too bad I missed that. That would have been great to see/hear. Reminds me back when he was drafted by the Packers. When the story broke, some fans petitioned to get his jersey changed to #2.
