Re: Packers uniforms 1956-1959
May the Packers never get rid of those classic (and classy) uniforms.

Re: Ed Sabol has passed
THANKS to both Ed and Steve Sabol for the immense work they did to popularize pro football and to make the NFL the most extensively-filmed professional sports league.

Re: That Catch
Has anyone besides me noticed that today's players wear gloves (in all weather) and receivers of the past did not? And these gloves are designed specifically for catching the football? There is a sticky, tacky material on the gloves. I don't know if Beckham Jr., could have made the same catch witho...

Re: 1960/1963 Colts vs. Niners
There is a partial kinescope of a Rams-49ers game from 1955.Citizen wrote:Interesting. That 1960 Colts-49ers footage looks like it's from a kinescope. Do any hardcore collectors know if the rest of that game is out there? If so, I believe that would make it the earliest NFL telecast that survives.

Re: Semi-Pro Players Who Made It to the NFL
Jack Dolbin played for the Pottstown Firebirds and the Schuylkill Coal Crackers before he made it onto the Broncos. RB Marv Hubbard was on the Hartford Knights before hooking on with the Raiders. And of course there's King Corcoran, made famous in the NFL Films documentary on the Firebirds, who bri...

Re: 2014 NFC South: New Worst Division Ever?
it would be nice to have a caveat in the rules that if a division winner has a losing record an additional in-Conference Wild Card qualifies instead (or something to that effect). I wouldn't like that either. The sole problem is the size of the divisions, 4-teams is too small. The answer is never m...

Re: Chances the Raiders go 0-16
I think they'll eke out one more win this year. And actually, most of their losses have not been blowouts.
I would still trade the first-round pick down though for more picks.

Re: Chances the Raiders go 0-16
(Man this season hurts.) I would keep Derek Carr (he's the only decent player we have) and I would definitely trade our first-round pick down for some extra picks. We need as many NFL-quality players as we can get. Also I don't trust Winston. I keep thinking he will be Son of JaMarcus Russell.
