Odd pairing, all things considered. For a minute I thought you had shifted gears and were talking about the Chiefs for some reason.

So Friedman's prowess with the forward pass, wasnt attracting attention, or was then --but not documented properly, or remembered? He he even wrote a book ... Yeah, it's too bad for his legacy that they didn't keep stats in those days. If they had, he would've been chosen for the Hall of Fame in th...

Wouldnt the 1929 NY Giants be highly influential with Benny Friedman throwing for 20 TDs, or was it done before, without any official records being printed? No stats in those days. I don't think anybody knew how many touchdown passes Friedman threw until the late 1970s when David Neft compiled what...

I agree completely. Also agree about the 1940 Bears; maybe they ought to be at the very top of the list.

Sorry, Bob, missed this last month. Yes, it was from the Tribune if I recall correctly. They seemed to show stats for the Bears every now and then, but unfortunately I never saw a further update after their final game of the season Neft didn't find one either. His stats show one "incomplete&qu...

There used to be a B/W video of the play on YouTube but it's apparently taken down. Here's a link to a 17-minute video of the game which might have it - I haven't watched it yet. Yes, the pass that hits the post is there, and it's shown twice -- actually three times, but the third is a black-and-wh...

You dog. I am SO gullible... No wonder I'd never heard that before... *Hangs head in shame* Now I'm trashing your trivia book because I don't know if I can trust the answers. Well, there might be a wrong answer in there somewhere, but if so, it's not intentional. I guess I needed to use one of thos...

I didn't know that.

One "doink" different and it's a whole other outcome...

That WAS just a joke ...

True, but on the plus side it did have the extra point that hit the crossbar and bounced over, which I'd never seen.

(And considering the game was won by a one point margin you have to consider that that decision may've cost Washington the Championship.) On top of that, a day before the game the Rams suggested moving the goal posts back to the end line. But the Redskins said it would be too much trouble, and besi...
