When Colt McCoy inevitably (hopefully) gets to the Colts... that'll be a special one.
Colt Anderson played for the Colts from 2014-2015.

Re: Players who were what their team's nickname was

Any saints play for the Saints? Anyone with "St." in their name? Taysom Hill is a Latter-day Saint Ah, perfect. I presume no Bengalis have ever played for the Bengals? What about Bill "Tiger" Johnson as their Head Coach? Steve Bird and Carl Birdsong may qualify as Cardinals. A.J...

Re: Jets-VS-Giants history

Re: Andy Reid vs Tom Landry vs Don Shula

This'll probably surprise some people but my pick is Coach Landry. Going 18 straight seasons (or whatever it was) w/o suffering a losing record in the N.F.L. is truly remarkable. He (handily) won his one H2H match-up vs. Coach Shula in a S.B. and, let's face it: if not for the "Steel Curtain&q...

Derrick Ward had 1,000 yards rushing with the defending Super Bowl Champion Giants in 2008 with a 5.6 ypc to lead the NFL. In his other 7 seasons combined he had a total of 1,600 rushing yards.

Re: 60s/70s WRs

I think you have to consider for 60s-70s Danny Abramowicz and John Gilliam into the mix.

For 70s-80s: Bob Chandler, Wes Chandler, Wesley Walker, Tony Hill, Alfred Jenkins.

Re: Packers Saints rivalry

Correct me, but I believe that in the 70s-80s every time that the Saints traveled to Wisconsin to play the Packers the game was held in Milwaukee. I recall two or three games (including the one when Tony Galbreath and Wes Chandler handled the kicking and punting duties).
