I'm partial to Crazylegs for playing w/o a beard or a face mask. :D

I imagine his throwing hand would look like this.

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread

I don't agree about the 73 Dolphins ... the expectations of defending a world championship is difficult for any team, especially since it was only done thrice since the end of the 1959 season when Baltimore and Green Bay did it--excluding the AFL*-- The Dolphins hammered the Bengals, Raiders and Vi...

Re: COFFIN CORNER VOLUME 46 NUMBER 1

Haven't had a chance to read the piece on electric football but I'm really looking forward to it. I got one of those games for Christmas back in '67 or '68, and I can remember lugging it several blocks in the snow to play it in my buddy's basement. Pretty sure the teams that came with the set were t...

Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?

I'm too lazy to do a Top 10 list. I'll do a Top 1 list:

Best: 1962 Packers
Worst: 1966 Giants

But man, I just looked up the Bucs' first 2 seasons. Forgot how truly terrible they were. They were shut out in 11 of their first 26 games. Brutal.

Re: 1959 Packers

Thanks for the tip. Somebody put out a book years back that contained contemporaneous scouting reports of current and prospective Packers from that era. Nitschke was such a handful that they were just dying for an excuse to get rid of him. It's fun to read how little scouts sugar-coated their repor...
