Does the adjusted yards chart make Charlie Joiner appear to be a first ballot HOFer?

Howard Cross? Wow. I can't wait for Tom Mullady to be listed above YA Tittle. Howard Cross is one of only three men to play in over 200 games for the NY Giants (over thirteen seasons). He was a tremendous blocker and I could actually see him ranked slightly higher than where he is. He was a big rea...

81-LT Frank Cope — A member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team in the 1930s. Cope made the Pro Bowl in 1939 and 1940, per the Giants website. He was a first-team All-Pro in 1945. Cope joined Mel Hein, Alphonse “Tuffy” Leemans, and Ken Strong as Giants who made the 1930s All-Decade Team. He is the only on...

I saw the highlight film from the first Super Bowl not long ago and thought it was just terrible. It gave absolutely no sense of how the game went: It showed a bunch of good plays by the Packers, then a similar bunch of good plays by the Chiefs, then a "key interception" by Willie Wood or...

Any players that you are surprised to see here? If it doesn't include AAFC numbers, then I am surprised to see Frankie Albert. Others who were suprising: Frank Filchock George Blanda I'm not surprised to see Hart, Brodie, Hadl, but they seemed to have benefitted from a good sense of timing more tha...

If the Steve Young run never happens, the Vikings team that allowed it is going to the Super Bowl and in my opinion the Bengals beat them. The 88 Niners had a game in hand at the end of the regular season. If they lost to the Vikes earlier then the last game against the Rams would have been for a p...

I think the 23 Chiefs are a tribute to a very good defense and Mahomes/Reid getting enough out of the offense. Almost like the 81 Niners. The 88 Niners to me are a bit better and more talented overall. They were sputtering at 6-5 and then went 7 for 7 in 'meaningful games', nearly all of which were ...

Here are some questions based on 1982 NFL player salaries: 1) The highest paid player on the Vikings intercepted 3 passes in 1980. Name him. 2) The highest paid player was a QB who won zero games in 1982. 3) One of the Vikings who was making the league minimum ended up making 6 pro bowls. 4) The te...

oooh - 82 was the strike year so these are really fun/good/tough questions. Curious where you found the info because salary info was a secret back then. It's still difficult to find salary info from the past. At least for me it has been. I'm going to guess #1 is a longtime linebacker - Jeff Simeon?...
