Re: Retired Numbers

Thanks for the correction, Reaser. One trivia that was asked to me by one longtime friend is: what was the last Seahawks player who wore #12 (he knew that they had retired that number for the fans). I answered (hoping that I'm right) that there was only one player in Seattle history who wore #12, qu...

Re: Retired Numbers

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that the Detroit Lions had retired Hall of Fame TE Charlie Sanders #88, but when they drafted all-time bust Mike Williams they assigned him that number.

And interestingly, #20 of Lem Barney, Billy Sims and Barry Sanders wasn't retired...

Hodson played with the Patriots for three years, and I remember he only won one gqme he started.

Re: Tony Dungy VS Jimmy Johnson HOF

As a Cowboys fan, I would like to throw my 2 cents that how I perceived things back in 1989-1990 - As Buddy Ryan told Jimmy Johnson when he came to the Cowboys: "There are no East Carolinas in the NFL". With the Miami Hurricanes, they had many mediocre rivals (back then they still were an ...

Re: Nomination for PFRA President

I'll identify myself. I agree, Mark. I've always used full or last name. Though I definitely understand people liking to use pseudonyms, especially on the internet or on a football forum where you can tie in favorite teams/players. Though specific to a place like here, I've always wondered why peop...

Re: Ed Sabol has passed

I am sad by the passing of Mr. Sabol, his visionary form has been unique and most influential not only in sports (since high school I began to shoot and develop in the lab black-and-white photography, and also I learned to play the organ, and I credit NFL Films as one of my top influences in both fi...

Re: Tony Dungy VS Jimmy Johnson HOF

Something I think that's good for Dungy's resumé is that he was as a player the leader in interceptions for a Super Bowl winning team.

Re: At what point will we run out of "contributers"?

If I had a vote to name a contribuitor (beside Steve Sabol), and although that I am interested in referees and their fellow officials, I would chose Sam Spence, I enjoy his music and I know that thousands of fans also. But seriously, I am convinced that Art McNally will be elected the next time. He ...

Re: 1960's All-Decade Team

At Pro Football Reference they also made their team, some interesting names:

I like Fran Tarkenton, he would get my nod as 3rd QB behind Starr and Unitas.
