I'm reviving this thread because I recently went down the rabbit hole of trying to understand how muffs/fumbles and solo/assisted tackles are scored. Let's start with tackles since that's what this thread is about. You know how gamebooks have TKL, AST, and COMB listed under defensive statistics? Up ...

Look at Darren Sharper. He is probably a borderline HOF candidate but once he was found guilty of despicable acts, his name totally dropped off the HOF radar. Nobody is being removed from the HOF but people found guilty of heinous actions can be kept out. My comment is not for or against Tyrer. I a...

Whats your take on Ray Lewis, SixtiesFan? Do you feel he should have been elected to the HOF? I felt--and still feel--he was an accomplice to murder but got full legal representation and private investigators from the Ravens. His buddies got away with it in self defense but do we really know what h...

Brian Brohm. When he was drafted us Packers fans thought that Brohm might be the better option at QB over Aaron Rodgers. His training camp performance quickly killed that thought.

The CB, not the QB. He was before my time, but Dave Brown put up impressive numbers even into his late-30s. A Seahawk for the majority of his career before finishing with the Packers, he's currently tied for 10th all-time in career interceptions. It's surprising to me that he only made one Pro Bowl ...

Earl Dotson of the Packers was ejected in the 1999 game against Seattle

How would you identify the Bears' championship window of the '80s? Having experienced the Packers of the '90s, it's pretty clear that their rise was kicked off with the arrival of Wolf, Holmgren, and Favre in '92. They won their one Super Bowl, and their window closed after Holmgren left and Reggie ...

I've been thinking about hero worship of professional athletes and what drives it. As a Wisconsinite, I can say Wisconsin fans have always loved their athletes, but I can think of no larger love affair than the one Packers fans had with Brett Favre. Obviously he's had (and has) off-the-field issues,...
