Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II
This team allowed the most points in a season by any team in the 1990s They had a -235 PD and somehow it wasn't even the worst PD for a team that season Know this because of Michael Dean Perry, coming off a conference DPOY (UPI) in 1989 ... on a Bud Carson team... always was wild.

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
Strahan also is credited with the most tackles for a loss in 2001, 2003, and 2005 according to pro football reference. TFLs are dubious in a lot of ways because of how they keep them.

Re: Joe Thomas with 49ers
He was gone so fast --- and he not make a lot of picks --- and how much he actually scouted Bunz and McAfee But the other actioned doomed him ... all sorts of blunders and fighting with people, firing coaches unloading a few guys ... that seemed like good players So, not sure of the question, all I ...
