Re: Seniors
Re-ripped from the PFRA headlines! I think Anderson and Scott were arguably the greatest safety tandem in NFL history, but I wouldn't put either guy in the HOF because they simply didn't have HOF careers. I'm not sure what actual player on those No-Name defenses is being overlooked by Canton. Those...

Re: Negro League stats
MLB is now incorporating Negro League stats into its record book. This is also the league that has Barry Bonds not in its HOF but Harold Baines is in. I am going to voice the politically-incorrect opinion that I find this to be absolute lunacy. There were seven different overlapping "Negro Lea...

Re: Seniors
To move onto a different player One player who looks like he could belong in the Hall of Fame based solely off of his resume (and is already in the Hall of Very Good here) is the Dolphins free safety Jake Scott. When I look at his resume, I see five pro bowls, four all pro teams (1972 and 1975 bein...

Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?
Apparently Hadl hurt his arm halfway through and the passing really fell off, * True, he hurt his back ... and it affected his throwing I read that John Hadl and some other Rams were pushing a car when Hadl hurt his back causing his performance to fall off considerably the second half of the 1973 s...

Re: Seniors
As for Meador and Cromwell, I see what you mean when you imply that Meador would look like a better career on paper as he has two more pro bowls. But Cromwell's accolades (which include three first team all pros in addition to four pro bowls) might be a tad more impressive because he played his ent...

Re: '58 Browns, and hypo they-vs-Colts NFLCG
A hypothetical Colts-Browns 1958 NFLCG is one I've often thought about. I think the Colts would have won, probably a close game but Unitas would give them the edge. The Browns could have won. The next year they played in Baltimore with the Browns winning 38-31. The Browns led 31-17 at the end of the...

Re: 1973 Raiders
In the 1974 Sports Illustrated Pro Football Preview, the Letter from the Publisher told readers Tex Maule was leaving his job as main pro football writer and being succeeded by Dan Jenkins who left his spot as college football writer. Both made predictions for the 1974 season. Dan Jenkins called the...
