Re: Bates' UFL field goal
It wasn't 64 yards, but Bert Rechichar"s first career FG attempt was a then-NFL record 56 yarder.

Re: Obscure trivia
I am eagerly anticipating a book to be published about this team later this year. ;) correct 1964 Bills for those not in the know. The same team that led their league on points scored, yards gained, and turnovers lost. The only other offense (that I've found) to lead their league in all three categ...

Re: Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2024 talk
Does Art Powell not getting in break a streak? Who was the last Senior Finalist not to get in before this? Thanks. Dick Stanfel in 2012 Stanfel was chosen again by the Senior Committee a few years later, after he died. He made the HOF that time. Paul Tagliabue was the last coach/contributor to not ...

Re: Quarterbacks that were hideous in bad weather???
I think Montana proved that he could play in less-than-ideal conditions in his final college game, the 1979 Cotton Bowl. It was the day after a surprise ice storm hit Dallas, and the wind chill was below zero. Montana missed the start of the 2nd half, as his body temperature fell to 96 degrees. He m...

Bill Belichick - 9 S.B. appearances (as H.C.), 6 Lombardis. Pete Carroll - a national championship at the college level and two S.B. appearances and 1 Lombardi Trophy.

Re: Random trivia "dumb team"
I looked this 1983 Seahawks-Raiders game up and noticed something. Jim Plunkett, Marc Wilson, and Marcus Allen all threw TD passes for Los Angeles. I wonder now how many times has that happened since 1950 - three different teammates throw a TD pass in one game. I found a couple, both involving Detr...

Re: WR with most career 90+ yard TD receptions
Took a quick look at PFR list of longest receptions in history. Mike Wallace and Terrell Owens also had two 90-yard+ receptions in their careers. Aside from them and JuJu and Taylor, nobody else has done it more than once. PFR must only go back so far. Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley had a 97 yard ...
