I will likely buy this, too. Love all decades of football but in the 1970s the NFL and pop culture had some type of synergy going on. Interested if your book explores this.

"Everybody's All-American" with Dennis Quaid was pretty good. Thought it showed a realistic portrayal of the difficulties transitioning from the college game to the pro game. Wasn't that supposed to be a fictional take on Billy Cannon--without the post-career counterfeiting? Apparently ma...

This type of analysis is much more enlightening than mere statistics. Where does "killer" fit in amongst the three tiers? Is it applicable only to 1) playmakers, or can it be used for all three tiers, such as "Ryan Fitzpatrick is a killer game manager...an absolute killer"? Actu...

Sorry, just not seeing it. Let's get out of the weeds. There are three tiers of quarterbacks: 1) playmakers, 2) game managers, and 3) stiffs. Etc., etc., etc. I have a suggestion: You could save a lot of time if you just said "I know all about this stuff, and next to me the rest of you are all...

Finally, it's not your thoughts that may have caused a dust up, it's could be the tone and attitude in which you express them, so cock-sure and dismissive of other's thoughts while you use non-quantifiable terms such as "killer". How can anyone debate with that? What's the matter, John? D...
