Re: They beat the best ... and lost to the worst

Going back to the 1950s, the 1952 Chicago Bears defeated the Detroit Lions, 24-23
on 11/23. Four days later the Bears provided the hapless Dallas Texans with
their only victory, 27-23. The Lions went on to defeat the Browns for the NFL title.

Re: "The Fix Is In" - Book by Brian Tuohy Started by Marble_

Yes, the public are morons, and I personally don't understand how pro wrestling is fixed yet that ridiculous kick boxing, anything-gies, inside a cage nonsense is not fixed.

Re: The Times They've Been a Changing...

On Friday, the New York Post had the top 10 passers listed for each conference. The top 10 American Football Conference passers had combined for 138 touchdown passes and 38 interceptions. 138 to 38. That is ridiculous. The interception is going the way of the dodo. The Jets have recorded one interc...

I think it's a great idea and I'm planning on giving one to my Jets' season-ticket holder friend for Chris...

Re: Historic high-scoring TIE, OT games

The final game of the Titans of New York first season ended in a 50-43 win for the Los Angeles
