Re: PFHOF myth
When I hear something like that from a fan ("Will Woodson go in as a Raider or Packer) I immediately dismiss them as not a true football nerd. What really makes me cringe is when I meet people who look at me like I'm an idiot when I say the Ravens were the real Browns. Or when some guy who thi...

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
IMHO, He was the Joe Namath of defensive players- only made the HOF because he played in NY, had one gaudy outlier of a season (Namath's 4000 yard season, Strahan's sack record) and had an all time SB upset. If they lose to DAL/GB or even that SB and he retires without a ring.... are we sure he's i...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
I think that's kind of ridiculous, but I think you did mention a really overrated team: the 1985 Bears. They went 15-1 (winning a weak division in a walk) and routed an 11-5 AFC team quarterbacked by Tony Eason and coached by Raymond Berry; the 49ers went 15-1 and trounced a 14-2 team with Dan Mari...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Like a former Raider coach once said "when is a fumble not a fumble?" ... Get over it Ralph, the officials were wrong! I have nothing to get over. It's you people who don't understand the rule who need to get over something. Still bitching mistakenly about a correct call that was made mor...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
The Tuck Rule game ... damn the ruling and interpretation of the "incomplete pass" ... Brady clearly brought the ball down from a passing motion making him a RUNNER who fumbled the ball into the Raiders hands. No way that was an intended pass. It was a correct interpretation of a dumb rul...

Re: NFL "what-if" scenarios thread
What if Johnny Unitas had played until he was 75 without losing any of his skills?

Re: 2022/1989 Pittsburgh Steelers
I am a Steelers and Yankees fan. So was my mom. I heard a story about how she abused the TV after Maz's HR in 1960. She was a big Steeler fan when I was growing up, but she wasn't as much into baseball (although I remember watching some of the Pirates' and Pens early-90's playoffs with her). It see...

Re: Ranking all NFLCG winners, '33 thru '65
Neft-Cohen's Pro Football: The Early Years lists all NFL players and their years of military service (pp. 160-161).

Re: Goal Posts
Here's a 1946 postcard of City Stadium. If you look closely, you can see the offset.
