NFL Teams have sixteen weeks to prove their worth, but it's usually those special players that provided their teams with that extra burst of excellence that allow them to continue their journey into the post-season in hopes of claiming the Lombardi Trophy. Some of the greatest players in the league's history are still going strong; others are establishing legacies and rising up the ranks. Here is every NFL team's greatest player of all time.
The National Football League is home to some of the greatest athletes in modern sports history. The combinations of agility, strength, and athletic IQ is almost incomparable to any other professional sport out there. An offensive lineman's leading foot placement off the snap of the ball is just as important as a quarterback's vision or a wide receiver's ability to put their hands in the perfect position for a reception.
Since the NFL's beginning in August 1920, the organization has birthed iconic personalities and names that have been immortalized within the Football of Fame. From Barry Sanders to Jerry Rice to Lawernce Taylor to modern-day football deities such as Tom Brady, the fall and winter months are where legends are born in the NFL. Do you agree with our picks?
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
