Re: DuMont Network NFL Broadcast Question(s)

The eBay guys are low hanging fruit. On the other hand, when you're bold enough to put up a professional website that includes legalese regarding recording laws (not referring to Rare Sports Films, but others) one can assume the people running it feel they're adequately prepared for a legal challenge.

Re: DuMont Network NFL Broadcast Question(s)

But say you want to buy SB III. Is it possible? I would say yes. Is it legal? I'm guessing not.... The answer is yes you can, and pretty high quality at that, including the packaging. As for the second question, many of these sellers have their legal bases covered. The source I refer to appears to.

Re: Peyton Manning calls it a career

As for your take on Peyton's lack of 'big-game' success, most of what's to blame IMHO is simply the system he played under for most of his career - have an offense that can open up a lead and a defense simply designed to preserve that lead instead of being a 'shutdown' one. It's a recipe for plenty...

Re: Peyton Manning calls it a career

I'd put Manning toward the tail end on the list of greats. Already mentioned, he was the rare player whose influence on his team was greater than that of his head coach. That's the highest compliment I could give a player. But --like most people depending on the situation in which they find themselv...

Re: Peyton Manning calls it a career

So right now, I think when looking at Peyton's career, there's a "yeah, but..." that goes with his two rings. How long does it take for that "yeah, but..." to go away? What is the "yeah, but...?" Are you referring to his lack of playoff success relative to his regular ...

Re: Peyton Manning calls it a career

If I had to pick one thing that attests to Peyton Manning's greatness: he was one of the few---if not the only---modern day quarterback whose influence on his team was greater than that of his head coach.

Re: PRFA in the news

There are also individuals out there who do or have done research. Not everyone likes to join a group, nor does joining a group legitimize anything. Some people simply do it for themselves. Several times a year there are stories of "found" caches of information or materials that wow expert...

Re: Who played in most losing games in Super Bowl season?

Talent has little to do with it. If you took the players from the 1976 Super Bowl Champion Raiders --or the 2015 Super Bowl Champion Broncos-- and threw them together for the first time, never having played together before, the dregs of the league would beat them soundly.

Re: HOVG and Ladies' Football

What I like about this is how it promotes an interest or group vs. promoting one's personal mythology as a member. And it's hard to argue with your well-articulated plan. You're on a bit of a roll lately, OCC.
