To his credit, Walker had 8 seasons with 100% XP conversions and a career 98.3% rate on extra points. As Nick said in the initial post, one might think that smaller roster size had something to do with non-specialist kickers. Paul Hornung actually had a lower career extra point percentage than Walke...

At a team reunion we have every year to watch the Super Bowl an old teammate brought his son and his son's friend, who played college ball and coached in a youth league. The young man was a "die hard, knowledgeable" Chargers fan... who had no idea who John Hadl or Lance Alworth were (and I...

I don't know that there's a truly satisfactory solution to this issue.

Crazy times we live in. Crazier than a time when the color of your skin determined whether you could play in the major leagues or not? Papa, don't preach. (IMO) It isn't "preaching" to bring up the inequities of the past. As a historical organization these are things that should be includ...

I think of the options available (inclusion, continued exclusion or a "Separate but Equal" category) the proper choice was made. It'd be great to see the NFL include AAFC stats as "official." It is really difficult to appreciate the totality of some folks careers without includin...
