Re: 1989 NFL season discussion

https://profootballresearchers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6433 I did like the Eagles. #12, of course, was on the SI season preview cover! Great, fitting shot of him!

Re: 1981 NFL Draft broadcast by ESPN

more championships and more games played than Taylor. I’m sure Lott is the sole reason for this. No other differences at all btw the teams they played for. Just Lott and Taylor.
