Jack McBride, interesting choice. Does he get nominated often? Haven't seen him make a ballot. If Red Dunn couldn't get in, though, I can't imagine McBride having a better chance.

The only thing this probably changes is that Spec Sanders passes Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts for season rushing yards and TDs by a QB? Can't think of any other records still standing from the AAFC.

Many of you have probably heard that the Packers (ironically, they've used the "Love Shove" a few times themselves; I'm surprised it wasn't WFT) proposed a rule change attempting to ban the tush push at league meetings. The proposal is written as follows: “No offensive player may... immedi...

I could vote for Tommy Thompson depending on the ballot. He had one MVP-contender season, if there had been an award that year, and most of the rest was solid for the era. WWII also knocked out a good bit of his career, although in his case it seemed to be in the middle of one his least productive s...

I feel like someone nominates Phil Simms every single year, but has he ever even been on a ballot? I wonder why, he seems viable.

It is exactly this. I figured this was common knowledge.

Much like basketball, the end of a football game is very often the worst football played in the game. It's arguably even worse . No one goes to a game to watch teams run out the clock and, worst of all, kneel. So let's make every game end in a score; say, set the winning score at 10 points above wha...

Sharpe did get in the HOVG, did he not? First ballot?

My 5: Clem Daniels (RB) - legit best scrimmage stats among AFL RBs. OG PPR royalty. Carroll Dale (WR) - it's far beyond time... right?! Roy Green (WR/DB) - with Travis Hunter coming in, now is exactly the time to recognize Green. Norm "Wildman" Willey (DE) - wildcard pick, we've all heard ...
