The more things change, the more they change out of all recognition

Go to the home page of NFL.com, scroll down to the middle of the page, and look to the right. You'll see the Reader's Poll, which this week (is this thing weekly?) concerns itself with running back tandems.

"Which is the best running back duo in the NFL?" is the question, and the first group mentioned is the answer: Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams of Miami. No contest, 58% as of now. What's amazing is who comes next: not Marion Barber and Felix Jones, not Brandon Jacobs and Terry Bradshaw's cousin Ahmad, not LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles. Not even Adrian Peterson and any random guy off the street (which is actually probably the correct answer).

No, the next choice is: Mike Bell and Pierre Thomas.

And at this point, they're tied with the other two pairs (Thomas Jones/Leon Washington and Rashard Mendenhall/Willie Parker) at 14%. The Saints are getting some love for their running game, and nobody is even mentioning the Panthers, the Falcons, the Giants, the Cowboys...

Did I wake up on the planet of Dreams Come True? (Still too cold here for coeds to wander around naked, must still be Earth...)
