I'm sure several Bills have played for the Bills. Jim Brown played for the Browns, and probably more. When Colt McCoy inevitably (hopefully) gets to the Colts... that'll be a special one. Any saints play for the Saints? Anyone with "St." in their name? Anyone who could be defined as a rai...
It's also true that the Babe didn't play against any black players when he hit 60 home runs in 1927. That particular thing is also a 'non-starter' for me in relation to baseball. You don't really play against individual players in baseball. Its not like Babe Ruth hits the ball and then gets tackled...
I have a book about the Browns** & in it Belichick is quoted as saying that in his final year in Cleveland, the furor over the move just destroyed the team . But in each of his seasons prior to 95 the team was showing improvement. I think he would have been a winner in Cleveland I think today, ...
Those injuries to both QBs, Testeverde in 1999 and Bledsoe in 2001, set their careers back, though they both bounced back briefly. I was hoping Vinny would play well for the Cowboys in 2004 but he was basically a statue like Bledsoe by then. I truly did not remember him backing up Brady in NE in 20...
Quick math, diff between 1,000 yd season in 1959 and today: 1959: Need an average 83.3 YPG in 12-game season 2023: Need an average 58.8 YPG in 17-game season My Uncle Snuffy could probably run for 1,000 yds today (well, roll...he's in a wheelchair) Which is why you don't see a lot of names in this ...
George Allen suggested that the Bears establish a relationship with a minor league team when Allen was an assistant in Chicago. Allen suggested that the minor league team use offensive and defensive schemes suggested by the Bears and that the Bears help with filming and the like. Allen thought the ...
Just came across this post, and I think the Raiders are a dark horse. In their first 35 years, they only had three starting centers. Jim Otto is on the short list of greats. Dave Dalby only made one Pro Bowl, but he was the center on all three of the Super Bowl winners. Don Mosebar made multiple Pro...
Roy Green was a very good player on both sides of the ball. Sanders was a dynamite athlete, as were Bo Jackson and Brian Jordan who also played baseball. There have been a few guys in college lately that have done it - Hunter included. Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson both played on offense and def...
