Re: Joe Thomas with 49ers
I think I remember reading somewhere that Thomas destroyed all of the 49ers team memorabilia. Am I remembering correctly? If so, sad story bordering on tragic.

Semi-Pros in the Super Bowl
Here's a list of former semi-pro players who went on to play or coach in the Super Bowl. I compiled it for my Semi-Pro Football History FB group, and thought it might interest this audience too. Semi-pro records are spotty at best, so I'd be interested to hear any errors or omissions. Mike Bass (Det...

Re: NFL's Most Influential Teams
At a time when SI is a shadow of its former self, this article was some nice work. Here's a link: https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/01/29/count ... washington

NFL's Most Influential Teams
The February edition of Sports Illustrated arrived today, and one of the articles was a list of the 50 most influential NFL teams (single season). I thought the group might be interested in hearing their top 10: 10) 1961 Green Bay Packers 9) 2001 New England Patriots 8) 1946 Los Angeles Rams 7) 1974...

Is there any update on if/where the Pro Football Archives data might land so interested researchers can continue to access it?

Re: Ernie McMillan
That's a really good question and my top-of-mind answer is you could make the case for either one. I've brought up McMillan before and never thought of DeMarco, but after doing a little research they had amazingly similar careers and honors in addition to being teammates. Both had long and productiv...

Ernie McMillan
I'd be interested to hear the group's take on Ernie McMillan's potential as a HOVG candidate. Just a quick summary of his credentials, he played 15 seasons, 14 with the Cards and one with the Packers, was all-pro one year and second team seven more times, played in four pro bowls, and was part of th...

70 Points in a Game
As I'm sure most of you already know, today the Dolphins beat the Broncos 70-20, the first time a team broke 70 since the Redskins beat the Giants 72-41 in 1966. I'd be interested in hearing the group's thoughts and stories about 70, so I'm putting a quarter in the jukebox and waiting to hear the mu...

50s Tackling Rule
A fellow NFL history enthusiast recently asked me about a tackling rule he remembers from the 50s and I was unable to answer, so I figured there's no better group to fill us in! Here's the question: Back in the 50s for a year or two, the NFL had a rule where the tackler was required to secure the ba...
