The opposite of that, in the modern NFL, was when the Jets scored 15 points in three consecutive games and won twice.

Re: Monday Night Football

I'm generally not one to reflexively criticize all things modern, but I must agree on how sporting events have gotten. At Twins games, you literally cannot have a conversation with the person sitting next to you because the din between pitches/batters/innings is so oppressive and incessant. They ha...

Re: Top 10 NFL Books
