Re: Cardinals in Super Bowl 2008 9-7 season

There is no doubt the 1979 Rams were a talented team that got hot at the right time but they were lucky also ... *They put it together against Dallas in the divisional round but Dallas also had a letdown after beating Washington for the division and once Staubach had that concussion in the 4th quar...

Re: 2022/23 Super Bowl

KC must find a way to shutdown the Philly rushing attack. If not they will control the clock, keep Mahomes on the sidelines, and probably win comfortably.

Re: Tim Rossovich

Ironic that Rossovich is better remembered as a bit player actor than a football player! He showed up on many TV action shows (The A-Team, etc.) as a heavy in the 1970s and was the hit man in the 1981 movie Looker with Susan Dey and Albert Finney. Every time I saw him, I pictured him in his Eagles u...

Re: Pro Bowl Games: I lasted less than a minute

Watch some of the old Pro Bowl games on YT. Much more enjoyable.

Re: Interesting Elias Sports Bureau

Elias Sports Bureau is probably the second-most draconian organization in sports behind the NCAA. I don't know why anyone in their right mind thinks of Elias in a favorable light.
The most unfriendly people you can ever try to talk to. My advice would be to not even try.

Re: Carroll Hardy (Denver Broncos)

Not only did he pinch hit for Teddy Ballgame, he also pinch hit for Carl Yastzemski, making him one of the few players to pinch hit for 2 HOFers. He was also the hitter on deck when Rich Rollins popped out to Rico Petrocelli in the last game of Boston's 1967 Impossible Dream season.HIs one year in t...

Re: Better Dal/Atl divisional round game, '78 or '80?

Have to go with the crowd here and take the 1980 rematch. Pulsating 4th quarter with Dallas pulling out the win in hostile territory. In retrospect if the Falcons had won, the NFC Championship game would have been much more competitive as the Falcons had dusted the Eagles in Philly a month earlier w...

Re: 2022/23 Wild Card Playoff Round

Was curious what everyone thought of the Jags decision to go for 2 twice in the 4th quarter. The first one with them trailing 30-20 was by the book to make it a one-score game. The second with them trailing 30-26 surprised me. Everyone would kick the point and make it a FG to tie game, but instead a...

Re: 2022/23 Wild Card Playoff Round

The Bills got sloppy and allowed a comeback. Can the Dolphins stay with them in the second half?[quote][/quote]
The Bills are getting their second wind and should win going away.

Re: Raiders claims about the Immaculate Reception

Just a correction, the official who called the touchdown was back judge Adrian Burk (#63), yes the former Eagles QB who threw 7 TD passes in a game 18 years prior. The side judge was introduced until 1978. In another twist of fate Burk was a member of the officiating crew for the 1969 Colts at Viki...
