Re: Best-ever KICKOFF kickers?
I think with Howfield it was about kicking in Denver. Here are his KOs and returns. I left off 1974 because the KO line was moved back to the 35. I went with FGs+TD+the 1 KO per game resulting in 1st or 2nd half opening KOs to determine the number of KOs. i had no idea how many were onsiders but fig...

Re: Looking At the Teams That Attempted to Threepeat
Just looked up that regular season Browns/Lions game. Otto Graham was 1 for 6 with 15 yards passing! Wow. Maybe the teams were sleepwalking through it to get ready for the big game. With it supposedly being Graham's last game plus the fact that Det had beaten the Browns twice, I think it might have...

Re: Random Inane Trivia
There was an article some years ago analyzing Jim Brown's 1962 season game by game that said he had "something like 1012." In 1972 Mercury Morris had (I think) 995 yards after the last game, but the League searched and found 5 extra yards to give Morris 1000, making him and Larry Csonka t...

Re: Negro League stats
From the article, and spot on with my thinking: This need to try erasing that injustice, to whitewash and sugarcoat segregation and act like it never happened, is offensive to me and every other person that looks like me. These things happened in our history, and all of these institutions like Majo...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Dallas' 2 SB teams weren't THAT great either. Emmitt was propped by the O-Line, Aikman was the most overrated QB in the history of sports, Irvin had average stats for a so-called playmaker, and their defense was OK at best. They only one because they feasted on an overrated NFCE (Aging Giants, agin...
