Wow, that would be an undertaking. Practice Squads change so much and are now so big, that would be a big task. Good luck.

Re: ABC Messed Up Chris Schenkel

Schenkel was a pro's pro and we could use him today. (His style wouldn't fly today, most likely.)

Jackson's a legend. Do not blaspheme. (FWIW, he grew up in Georgia and was down-home, for sure, but hillbilly?)

So glad to see the site is back up and running!
Sans minor league stuff, it appears. But, yes, this is really good news!

Re: NFL broadcast preservation status

For collectors/traders, all of these broadcasted games are on oldtimesports.net Took a while but that site did come up. I remember one (maybe it was this one) from years ago that was similar. I once had a guy from which I acquired a bunch of 70s and early 80s games. I tried emailing him but never h...

Re: Goal Posts

Former Cardinals owner Bill Bidwell had a reputation for being tight with a dollar so it wouldn't suprise me if your guess is on track. My initial thought was that Bidwell probably didn't want to spend the extra money to upgrade to the new "Tele-Goal" style posts. The Cards had just switc...

Re: NFL MVP's who didn't deserve to win

Holy cow, re-litigating a 32-year-old MVP vote? Even Barry Foster doesn't care anymore.

Re: NIL and the NFL draft

Obviously, you always run the risk of career-ending injury or a sub-par extra year that actually HURTS your draft stock, but at least you're not then stuck with no pro career and no money. (Not everyone who comes back for their senior year finds it to be a great career move. Matt Leinart comes to mi...

Re: Bates' UFL field goal

Can anyone think of another place kicker whose first professional field goal attempt was a successful 64-yarder? Or longer? I can't think of one. Considering no one hit a 64-yarder until 2021, probably not. Incidentally, I like this site: http://www.luckyshow.org/football/field%20goals%20of%2060%20...

Re: More fodder. . .

Quarterbacks are the most important players and there aren't 32 good ones, obviously. You'd want to protect them, too. It's just good business. This insistence on bloodlust from longtime fans just baffles me. What, not enough people get decapitated anymore for your liking? Not enough guys unable to ...

Re: Pittsburgh Steelers in 1957

That's not quite the way it happened. Parker stunned the crowd at a "Meet the Lions" banquet on August 10 by announcing that he was resigning because, he said, he couldn't handle the players. There was a gap of a little more than two weeks before he signed with Pittsburgh. August 12, appa...
