The NFC East had a very exciting pennant race in 1970. The Cardinals were 8-2-1 and seemingly coasting to the title but then lost their last three to finish an incredibly disappointing 8-5-1. The Giants lost their first three and then won nine out of ten, with the only loss coming against the last p...

There have been several comments regarding their similarity to the Montreal Canadiens jersey from my friends and also Chris Berman last night.

I had the Vikings over/under at 7.5 before their convincing rout of the Giants.

Yes, it’s the coaching staff’s overwhelming fear of the dreaded interception that has neutered many a quarterback. Sigh…

The point spread was 22.5.

J.C. Watts had a good first half for Ottawa.

Then the 5-11 Rough Riders almost pulled off the upset of the century when they lost the Grey Cup 26-23 to 14-1-1 Edmonton. Ottawa led 20-1 at halftime and the Eskimos won it on a FG with three seconds left. In 2001, the 8-10 Calgary Stampeders beat the 14-4 Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27-19. I wish I cou...

I love Chuck Foreman but his window of greatness was only five years. While I do believe that he deserves enshrinement if Floyd Little is your baseline, I think Little is in the lowest tier of HOFers and was a very questionable selection. One other thing to consider; if Foreman were to be elected, w...
