Ejections

I'm trying to pull together a list of every player ever ejected from an NFL game, wonder if I could solicit help either here on the forum or by DM of any instances or lists the membership might have. Thanks in advance.

Re: Are the 1990 Giants underrated?

I think that they were slightly underrated. Their 86 team gets so much love, but the 1990 Giants were deeper and more talented. I disagree with the more talented part, starting at the top. LT was at his peak in 1986. He was at the point in 1990 where he had to pick his spots. A check of postseason ...

Re: Hidden Game of Pro Football

Does anyone know if it has come out yet. If it's just a new intro I might still buy it as my old one literally has sections falling from the binding, but I'd be most interested if they updated specific see sections like "Rumblings in Pantheon"

Hidden Game of Pro Football

I recall from about a year ago that there was to be a new version of this book coming out. If I go and look on Amazon I can see it, but is there a way to determine if this is just a reprint of the old book or if it actually has new content? Anyone have information on it?

Re: Doug Atkins Last Game

IIRC Atkins was thought to only play in the Saints' original season, but he hanged for three seasons, and also had All-Pro votes (similar to Alan Page with Chicago a decade later). He had a down year with Chicago in '66 and certainly wasn't playing 100% of the snaps (educated guess was maybe 2/3 of...

Re: Mel Kiper for the HOF?

I think the draft jumped the shark when it moved from the weekend to primetime. Suddenly they had to appeal to a mass audience of soccer mom's, 6-year olds and guys who only watch the super bowl. Now between picks it's not player highlights but interviews with the players mom. They are nice stories ...

Re: Nicknames of Defensive Teams

Probably amongst the earliest was the "suicide seven" of the Eagles in the early 50's the great 5-man D Line backed by 2 LB's including Concrete Charlie. The Colts 5-man line of the early to mid 50's with Gino and Art starring was the Fearsome Fivesome before any of the Fearsome Foursomes....

Re: Bits of NFL history you have learned from watching old g

Outside of Marshall the Manchester United ehhm "football" team lost a number of key players in an air crash, a few more never played again and some survived. Off memory they kept playing but the season went downhill and it took a couple years to replenish the roster. This year there was an...

Re: More revolution . . . .

I always thought of Barber as one of the top defensive players. I view him as a borderline HOFer, along with Charles Tillman, but I'd probably put them both in the HOF. The push back on Barber has been that he was 'only' a Cover 2 CB who didn't have to cover WRs man-to-man....not sure how true that...
