08:05 AM ET 05.17 | Defensive end Trent Cole heard his name called a bit to early for his liking. [Cole] became the first Eagles player to rank in the NFL Network's countdown of the Top 100 players of 2010, as voted by the players. The two-time Pro Bowler came in at No. 73, and was not terribly happy about it. "That's a low number being rated at but I at least made the top 100," he wrote on Twitter. "I'm used to being underrated so I laugh. ... I will just have to keep doing things on the field ... Who ever is doing the rating on players wake the hell up and smell what this country boy is cookin!" When told that it was the players themselves, Cole scoffed: "Well, if they say it is rated by the players that's a lie.

At least he made the top 100, that should be enough to make him happy, beggars can't be choosers.

About right.

Stupid list anyway - space filler for NFLN.

Replay some old games Dammit!!!

Jared Allen was 80 and he is way better than Cole. Player's list is terrible but the show is good. They had McNabb at 100. He shouldn;t be on the list. Jennings as the 1th best receiver when over the last 3 years he is the fourth most productive WR and last year he was 2nd in TDs and 4th in yards.

It's sad that that will be the closest to football that any of us will get for a while.

Still - I don't care about the Top 100 players of LAST YEAR...

Is anyone watching this garbage?

Time to break out my trove of NFL Classic game DVD's... as soon as the NBA Playoffs are over.

Trent, if you were a better player, T&R would have a picture of you. Or maybe not.

May 17, 2011  08:38 AM ET

Ah ha! You are better!

Trent Cole ....A legend in his own mind.
