id like to know who wrote that headline saying that neither were worthy because i disagree with that author 100% in terms of jake scott not being worthy for the hall I write the headlines. I am the Dick Wolf of PFRA. It was admittedly an old headline, and I think now the HOF was been watered down, ...

I don’t see anyone in this discussion saying that Otto Graham’s AAFC statistics shouldn’t be considered alongside his NFL statistics, but lots of folks are saying Negro League statistics shouldn’t be considered alongside MLB (separate American and National leagues, BTW) statistics. I would have an ...

Plus they had an incredible list of names on that coaching staff. Green Bay just flat out couldn't beat the Cowboys. Period. Especially at Dallas. Once free agency/age/injury hit the Cowboys, then the Packers took over for their back-to-back NFC titles. Those Packers weren't as good as the Cowboys ...

Not a valid comparison at all. Look, I'm a big advocate of the minor leagues, in all sports. But the top Negro League players have absolutely nothing in common with minor leaguers. King Corcoran was a minor league star because he was cut by NFL and/or AFL teams. Josh Gibson was in the Negro Leagues...

MLB is now incorporating Negro League stats into its record book. This is also the league that has Barry Bonds not in its HOF but Harold Baines is in. I am going to voice the politically-incorrect opinion that I find this to be absolute lunacy. There were seven different overlapping "Negro Leag...

Re-ripped from the PFRA headlines! I think Anderson and Scott were arguably the greatest safety tandem in NFL history, but I wouldn't put either guy in the HOF because they simply didn't have HOF careers. I'm not sure what actual player on those No-Name defenses is being overlooked by Canton. Those ...

. But Swann - I mean he truly might have been the difference in the Dallas/Pittsburgh Super Bowls. If the Steelers don't pick him in 74 and Dallas takes him with the next pick, I think we may very likely be talking Swann and Pearson and Dallas' SB wins rather than the Steelers. BUT - the Steelers d...

Calculated as: Pass attempts/(Pass attempts + Rush Attempts) The pass percentages are as follows: 1972 Miami Dolphins 29.7018 1973 Miami Dolphins 33.5518 1975 Pittsburgh Steelers 36.7102 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers 37.2184 1976 Oakland Raiders 38.0841 1977 Dallas Cowboys 39.7436 1966 Green Bay Packers...

There's one set of data I want to share briefly now that we are talking about the NFC's streak of consecutive Super Bowl titles. The StatMuse search I did a number of posts ago for the records of the NFC vs the AFC since the merger found the following records for the NFC vs the AFC in the years of ...

I remember reading an article that claimed Pierce Holt and Kevin Fagan were actually the same person.
