Does Art Powell not getting in break a streak? Who was the last Senior Finalist not to get in before this? Thanks. Dick Stanfel in 2012 Stanfel was chosen again by the Senior Committee a few years later, after he died. He made the HOF that time. Paul Tagliabue was the last coach/contributor to not ...

Thanks Leonard ... yeah, it seemed like once the 49ers handed it to Philly this year, the Eagles lost some swagger as Dallas pounded them next. The defense just couldnt keep any momentum from the 10-1 start and without a better pass rush, left the secondary exposed, which even the Seahawks, with Dr...

Healthy pre-injury Randall Cunningham was one of the top dozen unstoppable players I've seen on pretty much any team. There's a reason why they called him "The Ultimate Weapon." He was great.

I've blogged about this a few times - it's more the domination of QBs. Going back to the year 2000 or so, you'd be hard pressed to find an NFC Championship Game without McNabb, Rogers, Manning, Wilson, Brees, Garrapollo, Goff, and now Purdy.

From the perspective of this dinosaur, analytics is usurping common sense in sports. That's why Campbell went for it on those two 4th downs instead of attempting the FG.

The first player I know of that was insured was Davey O'Brien by Bert Bell through Lloyd's of London. That is per Upton Bell, Bert Bell's son. There may have been somebody before that, but Upton has always insisted that was a first.

KC Buffalo likely was the most exciting playoff game so far. I like both championship game matchups - I think they both could be great games. Curious to see how Goff does. Chiefs / Ravens could be a sensational game - a very good matchup. Buffalo seems like the Red Sox of days gone by. Losing in ver...

FWIW, some highlights exist (though, sadly, not of the fateful play that provided the eventual winning margin.) https://youtu.be/WIvaEXPgw5g 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 hav...

Love throw = 2009 Brett Favre I'm sure I might draw some ire for this comment. But I gotta point out that LaFleur basically put his QB in a position to fail there. On the int, I took a photo of the screen when they showed the wide-angle replay and they had two receivers running to the EXACT same sp...
