Re: greatest Coffin Corner articles
I've found and read a lot of great articles just adding "pfra" to the end of a google search (although for the eras I search, pfra articles are usually pretty high among the search results anyway). My short list would definitely include these two as I find myself referring back to them mos...

2 Football Card Questions
1. I found PFRA articles confirming that Thomas "Doggie" Trenchard (#30) and Langdon "Biffy" Lea (#19) played for athletic association teams (Pittsburgh, PA area) in the 1890s. Did anyone else from the 1894 Mayo set play “professional” football? (i.e. play for a team other than t...

Re: one of the Forgotten 4 is nowhere near forgotten
I'm with Neal on this one and I don't usually disagree with Mike (Thanks for the links and adding more background on this though.). With Motley and Willis from the same era deservedly in the HOF regardless of what race they would have been, I don't see the need to push for Washington - I could proba...

Re: Dolphins All Career-Year Team
John, I was editing while you were responding. I get what you are doing now (I think), Nathan's big years weren't actually as a specialist. I was thinking take the player's best year then find a role for him on the team where what I think you did is find the players who had the best year in the give...

Re: Dolphins All Career-Year Team
I would have liked to see Tony Nathan 81 on the Dolphins team over Davenport. Pretty good year rushing receiving and who can forget the Hook-and-lateral (even in a loss) to top it off? Duriel Harris was mentioned as not being a starter, but he was actually the #1 receiver for a few years including t...

Re: Top 10 Defensive Players of All Time
I second that. The interest and effort to do that is outstanding and I appreciate the work and their views. To put it out there and be willing to take cheap shots is remarkable and they should be complimented for it. Hey John, were there any cheap shots in this thread? I'd definitely like to addres...

Re: Top 10 Defensive Players of All Time
Thanks guys - I appreciate the support - I was expecting to be disagreed with. Ken, glad you chimed in - I really enjoy what you have done - its great work - and you are completely transparent - that's why it was so easy for me to put up a defense for Hewitt. I also took a quick look at Milner this ...

Re: Top 10 Defensive Players of All Time
Ken Crippen's site recently put up an entry for Bill Hewitt, and the results were less than stellar -- score was 7.5. He surprisingly has a good honors profile at 6/0/30s, showing the same kind of honors-vs-study disconnect Dick Stanfel and Dick Schafrath have. Very eye-opening. I appreciate what K...
