My bad. But still, pretty remarkable for a team to pull it off in back-to-back seasons.

Yes, it was. We don't see these plays much and then got one in three straight seasons with two coming from one team.

Kick sixes are about as rare a play as you'll see, but evidently not when the Bears are playing the Giants. In 2005, Nathan Vasher returned a missed FG 108 yds against NYG. In 2006, Devin Hester duplicated the feat---same opponent, same distance. Different kicker, though. The Nathan Vasher touchdow...

Eller looked super light that year. Also some defensive tackles playing a bit skinner, too (Page, Brooks, Sherk maybe Chambers). I never thought about it, but you're right. Compared to the behemoths who would come along, linemen from that era look downright emaciated. In fact, I believe Alan Page a...

My first ever recorded prediction was for that Steelers-Broncos playoff game. When my father asked me who I thought would win I replied, "Broncos." I did pick Chicago to win the earlier game that day but that didn't make the recording my father made. He rented a camcorder from a video stor...

Gale Sayers- bum

I remember being on a new forum maybe 20 years ago and the most controversial topic was how the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a joke until Damon Allen gets inducted. After making a dozen or so posts about why Allen does not belong in the PFHOF, I bowed out of being an active member of that forum. Peo...

A lot of the "official" record is frankly bullshit.

Although the NFL and some people in this forum pretend otherwise, the 1946-1995 Browns and Ravens are the same franchise. The 1999 to current Browns is a different franchise. That is reality.

I agree. I find this strange for a number of reasons. I don't have time now to get into my larger concern but I do have time for a lesser concern. I thought this was done already. The Negro League stats were added to Baseball Reference two years ago I thought or maybe it was last year. Also, MLB doe...

The Oilers changing their name to the Titans. I get Bud Adams trying to create a new image and identity for the fans in Nashville and TN, but ... a) You don't get rid of a name with a history, including the first two AFL champions and b) You damn sure don't adapt another AFL team name from a team t...
