Re: Bobby Layne Gambling True or False?
I've heard there are allegations about Bobby Layne gambling, and some speculate he retired after the 1962 season because he would have gotten suspended along with Paul Hornung and Alex Karras. Any truth to it? The topic does not come up in his biography "Heart of a Lion." You should look ...

Re: Historical Misconceptions that "grind your gears" Starte
I'm not even sure how to reply to this. The 90s Cowboys were incredibly deep in talented players. To call Ken Norton and Emmitt Smith "overrated" is insane. It's true not every player was "the best" at their position (what team can claim that?) but Dallas had legitimate All-Pros...

Re: 1971 FB preview
Pretty interesting. Only one person picked Washington to even make the playoffs, and there was a guy that picked Houston to go to the Super Bowl.

Re: NFL Top 50 Players
They had Nitschke rated ahead of Jack Ham. I don't know about that. He was good, but not top-50 all-time material.

(me being a 49ers fan since the Montana era) :) http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200301050sfo.htm Interesting personal story about this game. Back then, my girlfriend (now wife) would always make a point ...
