Re: Manning/Favre vs. Favre/Strahan

Those children who spend their time browsing the pits of things like "YouTube" apparently do so because they have neither the incentive nor the intellect to search for substance. Don't knock it until you try it, Phil. They have a wonderful video on there that shows how to clean your dentu...

Re: Manning/Favre vs. Favre/Strahan

Maybe I am connecting too many dots, but hear me out. The media and public opinion were highly critical of Brett Favre laying down so Michael Strahan could get the single-season sack record (on a play that shouldn't have been ruled a "sack" in the first place, but...). Lots of talk about ...

Re: This article taught me something and gave me hope

I'd rather watch the same commercial a thousand times in a row instead of Big Brother getting involved in my life. I know gambling when I see it and I'd like to choose whether I wanna participate in it or not. Daily fantasy sites are bad but the state lottery is perfectly fine? Gimme a break, Gene!...

Re: QB Slide Rule

Anyone notice the irony of Rodney Harrison complaining how Fisher's team took out his knee (while Fisher *supposedly* laughed) when it was his controversial low blow in a preseason game that blew out Trent Green's knee? Harrison complained about being injured against the Titans when he tried to inj...

Re: 2016-2017 PFRA officers

It's official-- the four unopposed candidates for the four PFRA elected offices won their elections, which closed on October 31. Congratulations to Ken Crippen, who will be taking over from me as PFRA President on January 1, and who will continue to have a great team to work with. Congrats also to ...

Re: New Coffin Corner Issue

Seeing how the 'sausage is made' could be a motivator of sorts. I attended a presentation on Personal Trust Administration once. Always remember how the speaker opened the presentation by saying, "There's two things that never should have been invented: sausage, and new tax code." Nothing...

Re: Seeking online sources for newspapers

http://www.newspapers.com has been adding complete runs for some newspapers from NFL cities in the past few weeks. Yes, they are each $7.95/month. But still bargain compared to ProQuest or interlibrary loans. Cincinnati Enquirer - http://cincinnati.newspapers.com Detroit Free Press - http://freep.n...

Re: RB Todd Gurley's start as reported by media

My opening comment had nothing really to do with Gurley or his yards, more an observation about STATS, their laziness, and other media companies' willingness to take whatever is spoon fed to them and the reading/viewing audience's willingness to settle for it, the main point being any kid who knows ...

Re: Jets and Rams and Dolphins rant

In 21 years as a head coach, Jeff Fisher has produced 6 winning seasons. That level of mediocrity is astounding. Much of his longevity is the result of fortuitous timing. Fisher parlayed his role as interim coach to full time gig with the Oilers. As head coach when they moved to Tennessee, he essen...
