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...

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...

I was watching the 85 Browns-Dolphins playoff game, and Bob Trumpy said Great choice of games - I had to check it out too. (Early in the game Woody Bennett made a decent run for Miami, but I remembered it being Ron Davenport. I also remembered the score as 21-3 in the first quarter, but turns out t...

If 2) is USFL, I'm really interested to hear who. I'm almost positive Maurice Carthon had 1,000 yards in the USFL, but he was a blocking FB in the NFL. I think there was a CC article about how many games he played in one year, but I don't recall the details. Herschel Walker would be a plausible gues...

Looking forward to seeing who those 1920s MVPs are.

I really like the Dan Daley/Pro Football Chronicle '20s team - that came to my mid too - Latone is on that team :D To me, the slam dunks are the ones everyone seems to mention and has been for a while - Dilweg fits imo for the '20s. The next one to sneak in at that level for me is Lewellen. I wasn't...

Sorry about that I thought you misspelled Joe Horrigan I must have misread it No problem - funny thing I almost wrote Joe Horrigan myself. Then I thought about it a minute and googled it. I just wanted the right guy to get credit. Great find on the podcast. Even from the outside (without any such t...

You mean Joe Horrigan Check out this link. His name is John Hogrogian. He did research on early All-Pro teams: https://profootballresearchers.com/archives/Website_Files/Coffin_Corner/05-07-147.pdf There is film of Slater this is from the Centennial Class announcement on Good Morning Football althou...

Some thoughts I had on this: -Seems inconsistent Duke Slater got in, I can't imagine there's much film on him. -Ironic if anyone on the panel also had a say on the 100-year team. Hewitt got in and not Nagurski. I remember on the old board, a member brought up Hewitt being a weak HOFer and pointing t...

I agree with this as it's written, but you mean "studied" film, right?

Either way, thanks for sharing this @PFHOFlover - explains a lot.
