“The James Gang” for James Jones and Garry James of the 5-11 Lions in 1986.

I like the idea. The NFL would have to get creative with some matchups if they are to be exclusively AFC-NFC matchups. I can get on board with playing games at old venues that are still standing that have rich football memories, such as Wrigley Field, the Cotton Bowl and even RFK (if it’s still sta...

Thanks for that article 7D ... Its surprising Knox didnt go back to the Rams since Rosenbloom was gone but he might not have liked Georgia. As for the Bills they had their chances but Ferguson at QB wasnt the answer. Krieg in Seattle was similar, tough but unable to win the big games. Did injuries ...
