The obvious choices for me are 1982 Mark Moseley and 1987 John Elway. Moseley was a kicker who wasn't even perfect that season, so the less said about that the better. Elway won only because the dominant Montana-Rice duo split votes. Jerry Rice had an NFL record for receiving touchdowns while playin...

As an NFL guy and not too knowledgeable on the AFL, I was unfamiliar with E.J. Holub, but now I am shocked that I didn't know of him. He started two Super Bowls at two different positions, the only one to ever do that. 7 times on either first or second-team All-AFL, five-time All-Star, three-time AF...

Super Bowl LVIII: Chiefs 42, Cowboys 35 Super Bowl MVP: Patrick Mahomes, of course, in the highest-scoring Super Bowl ever. Well, I got most of it right. Chiefs win it all (again), Mahomes wins MVP (again), a close game (again). Now the question of a three-peat begins. Ordinarily I'd figure that it...

I think this list would be better if they ranked the most influential "seasons." But I agree with most teams on the list.

From the perspective of this dinosaur, analytics is usurping common sense in sports. That's why Campbell went for it on those two 4th downs instead of attempting the FG. Among other things analytics has given us are entire lineups filled with guys hitting 18 home runs with 156 K. I gave up on baseb...

That game was one of the very few where the same team kicked off to start both halves. Instead of electing to kick or receive the opening kickoff, Sam Wyche elected to have the wind with him to start the game. San Diego then elected to get the ball for the second half kickoff, with the same wind ag...

Packers actually got somebody! Of course it's just the NFLPA version, but I'm glad someone got recognition. I had to look at Nixon's stats, and I was surprised that they were pretty good. He takes more kicks out of the end zone than almost anybody else in the league, so there are a lot of <25-yard r...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rozelle_Radio-Television_Award This is the hall of fame for NFL announcers and executives. To me, there's one incredibly glaring omission: Greg Gumbel. He was the first black announcer to call a Super Bowl (he called two), he was CBS's #1 announcer for six seasons,...

I was at the Rose Bowl in 2017. It is an incredibly antiquated stadium, even after its renovations. There are huge traffic jams in the tunnels that prevent people outside the stands from getting to their seats and vice versa. It is a spectacular sight for a football game, a great atmosphere, and it ...

Funny, I decided to take a nap at 20-3 because I thought it was over. I was surprised to learn that not only did New York come back, but that they had a legitimate shot at tying the game late.
