I think a good list would include their pro performance, or lack thereof.

...which is a very big feather in its cap.  But it's still a shitty list.

Completely arbitrary valuation of full careers and 1-year wonders.  Direct competitors ranked backwards (someone, anyone give me the argument of Peyton Manning (4) over Danny Wuerffel (17)).
And Roger freakin' Staubach ranked so highly......
.
Here I am, commenting on a football rankings post.  And for some reason, someone will point it out as a bad thing.  Huh?!?

Click bait, not worth much thought really.  Someone's opinion.  Yay.

When I see such lists, I obviously shrug, as I do about a lot of things that have zero impact on me personally.  Someone else no doubt has a different list, fine with me.  No doubt folks argue endlessly about it, fine with me.  I'm relaxed.

My general take on "best of all time" is to have a broad group and not worry about who among them is Number One.  I will opine Jordan is the GOAT, it's just an opinion.  Golfers?  I think it would have clearly been Tiger had he not flamed out.  Baseball?  I'd say Ruth, but I'm not as convinced on that point.

You had me at deep fry.
This is what they look like right out of the oil, and then plated.  Not my pics, I grabbed them from the net, but it's the same.

Actually not quite the same, my dad doesn't cover the exterior in cheese and bake (although that would be fine), instead he makes a warm sauce that tops them, and the sauce is sort of half-pico de gallo and half-chimichurri.  It's delicious and brightens up the flavor a bit, after the deep-fry.

Those 2 are on pious pedestals already.  What list doesn't respect them (even over-respect them)?

In New Mexico they make the chiles into a relish that goes on the burger. 



It's so standard that even the nation chains have to acquiesce.

New Mexico is second to none on fat eating. I remember going there and thinking their plates of nachos defied physics.
