Why no recognition of Simpson and Braxton?

I was just reading the lead article in today's preview about whether 2 running backs can co-exist in the same backfield. It listed some failures, and it had a chart, etc. listing the best tandoms. I don't understand why a Buffalo paper would neglect to mention the tandom with the best two rushing years in history. I thought this was true, and I just found this from Dr. Z a few weeks ago:

 

O.J. Simpson and Jim Braxton, the big, blocking fullback who was also a devastating runner on the quickies inside. In 1975 the twosome rushed for 2,649 yards (1,817 for O.J., 823 for Braxton), in 1973 the number was 2497 (O.J.'s record year of 2004 yards, plus Braxton's 494). Those two rank Nos. 1 and 2 all time.

 

It's strange to me that they would be omitted.

Excellent post, bbb!

 

However, one has to take into account the fact that a certain RB got away with murder and gloats about it! 

 

I wonder where his personal investigation is going while looking for the "real killers"!

OJ's search for the real killer has come to a successful conclusion. He looked in the mirror.
