There is always some things you can learn about the history of the game from watching taped live broadcasts. Very few of them are all that significant but they are interesting and in many occasions something you might not have learned without viewing the live broadcast of said game. For instance I w...

But a (sad) reality that I'm witnessing as I'm now watching some of this Maulers@Breakers event...practically NOBODY in the stands!! And, also, the Maulers abandoning their different '80s colors and now wearing the same black-and-gold as the Steelers, Penguins, Pirates. You are paying attention to ...

Jimmy was surprising but he was also worn out after the 1993 season. He never was the type to stay with teams very long, even as a college coach. I am a Johnson fan but not sure if he should have made the HOF over coaches like Parker, Coryell, Schott or Knox but back to back championships--and tale...

Yeah there really is no comparison here. Johnson had taken the league by storm during his five years at Dallas and was a defending two time Super Bowl champion. Landry (although extremely successful in the past) had struggled in recent years and many thought the game had passed him by by the late '8...

95 Cowboys perhaps. But likely not the '94 team. Remember the game against Cincinnati, when Jeff Blake and Darnay Scott bombed them to a 14-0 lead (before Dallas came back to win 23-20)? Dallas's secondary was vulnerable. Darren Woodson should have been FS, and James Washington was SS. And, their C...

And if 'steamrolling-down-the-stretch' Blitzburgh doesn't allow the Chargers to make it there in the first place, it would have been real difficult for they to beat Dallas. Noticeably more-so difficult than their actual SB date in the dessert a year later. This despite the '94 Steelers, IMO, being ...

The 1994 Cowboys have always in my opinion been the most interesting of all the Cowboys teams of that era. One aspect is that they didn't when the Super Bowl so it is fun to speculate about how good they 'actually' were. Another is that they had a different head coach than the previous two teams so ...

To be honest after seeing that Houstan '93 documentary I think any team would have been smart to stay away from Buddy Ryan as the guy was truly toxic. He was a great defensive coordinator if he had the perfect set of talent and was an all around very average head coach. His ego was far bigger than t...

Well regardless I am just not sure I can support the current NFL anymore. It's hard enough to watch it when the teams really aren't all that great anymore. But then when you add in things like what happened at the end of the biggest game of the year that just becomes a little too much for people who...

The refs just made sure the Eagles didn't have a chance to come back and drive for a tie or a win. It almost seems like the league wants their big stars to win.
