Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
I believe that the Cleveland Browns were the greatest team in football during the All-America Conference years (1946-49). Had there been a Super Bowl, what happens? @74_75_78_79_/others, what do you think? '46: Browns v. Bears '47: Browns v. Cardinals '48: Browns v. Eagles '49: Browns v. Eagles I t...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
1950 Eagles out gained their opponents by almost 1000 yards and were +5 in turnovers. They lost their last 4 games of the season, all 1 score games, and were -10 in turnovers in those games. Lost by 4 points to the Cardinals, 6 to the Browns. 4 and 2 points to the Giants. ... They were still a good...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
I can't believe college allowed ties back then in Bowl games even! Thinking 'bout Dye in '87! I watched that game. I still remember one of the headlines in NJ (close enough to Syracuse I guess) was something along the lines "The war eagle is a chicken". Not trying to stir up any Auburn fa...

Re: Quiz question: Rushing leaders and all-pro selections
Growing up where and when I did, my first thought was Freeman McNeil remembering that he won a rushing title in a strike-shortened season and thinking maybe he didn't get the All-Pro nod. *** I always found 1935 an odd year for rushing statistics. The leader had such a low total, I even wondered if ...

Re: HOVG: Some candidates who played between 1920 and 1945
I nominated Kopcha this year ... based partially on Chris, partially on his All-pros and so on ... plus he was a member of PFRA! Good nomination! I'll vote for Kopcha if he gets through. I missed the deadline, but I nominated McBride last year (before Chris' book, so I was happy to find an addition...

Re: A ton of information in this article
that centennial class was the golden opportunity for the super seniors and it was hijacked to a degree, IMO. Great description. A quick google search showed the second definition for hijack as: take over (something) and use it for a different purpose. A class meant for early era players got used fo...

Re: Obscure RB trivia
Thanks Bob! I can't find the CC article on Carthon, but Wikipedia is counting those exhibition games. Here is what they said: In 1985, Carthon signed as a free agent with the New York Giants. From February to June, his USFL career consisted of three preseason games, 18 regular season games, and a fi...
