Fisher's teams are one of the more predictable in the league. If they play a sound, mistake free, game-planning team like New England, they will get blown out.

The former would be far less interesting. If it's the latter, it could be a gold mine.

That is not the inference. I trust what a PFRA member says about a topic regarding pro football history/pro football research...you know, the people who have dedicated their lives to pro football history/pro football research.

With all due respect, things have changed. There are excellent self-published books out there, and some old guard publisher...

Lot of libel suits filed against Moldea, were there?

Not too many that I recall.

. Staubach and Bradshaw both saw a dramatic rise in their stats after the 1978 rules changes, whereas Stabler's stats mostly tanked. One key difference: Staubach and Bradshaw stayed with the same organizations. Stabler didn't. Stats are more the product of the organization someone plays in than peo...
