I cannot remember the linebackers' name but should have been penalized, ejected, and fined. This was on the Eagles field goal drive. The Eagles at leased would have had the ball for...

Joe Tucker & CBS Indifference to the Steelers

As I stated CBS' hostility to Joe Tucker was evident in some additional ways. From 1964 to 1967 CBS telecasted the program Countdown to Kickoff. This was on Saturdays at 4 o'clock, the day before the game. They visited the cities and teams where the game was to be played. The network used Johnny Sau...

Cunningham in top Dozen

If someone would say pick the 12 Greatest Players in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles, subject quarterback would be among them. Even so, there are too many inconsistencies and injuries during Cunningham's time in Philadelphia for him to be in the top ten. Here they are:  --The Eagles made the ...

Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail

The collapse was amazing. Every week we heard the same. "we need to clean this up...The Eagles are better team than this...they will start winning now as the end of season nears...we had a group meeting....this was just a matter of a few plays... As I see it the close games hurt New York Jets, ...

Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail

Often I wondered what happened to the Eagles defense in the 25 to 12 loss. No turnovers & just one sack for 7 yards

Re: Some Odds, Ends, and History

Re: Chiefs at Raiders-Detail on 1969 Title
