Re: Research Help: Seeking Info on 1-point PAT Conversions by Run or Pass

Obviously the only way to settle this once and for all is to ask Mike-Mayer himself. It can't be that hard to get hold of the guy. Yeah, it can. The guy's 78 years old. It's not like he's been highly visible for the last 40 years or so. As I've already stated, he's probably drawing an NFL pension, ...

Re: Research Help: Seeking Info on 1-point PAT Conversions by Run or Pass

NFL Films has highlights of game, but I can not find full game. The holder was Greg Landry, going to try him, and give Mike-Mayer another shot. Thanks again everyone. IIRC Landry---fondly recalled here in Detroit---passed away a couple years ago. Mike-Mayer has to be in his 70s now and may be back ...

Re: Research Help: Seeking Info on 1-point PAT Conversions by Run or Pass

Obviously the only way to settle this once and for all is to ask Mike-Mayer himself. It can't be that hard to get hold of the guy. I'm sure he still has an agent or someone handling inquiries, interview requests, etc. Maybe ask the NFLPA for contact info? Failing that, ask whoever the holder was on ...

It just goes to show, once again, that what we PFRA types find interesting the rest of the world just goes, "Meh." Including the interns who put together the media guides. :)

Re: Research Help: Seeking Info on 1-point PAT Conversions by Run or Pass

All, 3) Steve Mike-Mayer (Baltimore) ran in for the XP on October 28, 1979 vs. New England. What were the details on the breakdown causing Mike-Mayer’s (kicker) run for the conversion? Any information or guidance on the details of these plays would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tim Castelli Th...

Otto Graham: 10 division titles and 7 championships in 10 years across 2 leagues. Hard to do much better than that.

Re: NFL team 'runs' similar to other sports team 'runs' of the same seasons

Between October 1935 and the following April, the Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings all won their first titles. That's a trifecta I don't believe any other city can match (at least cities with only one franchise per sport, unlike NY and Chicago). And young Joe Louis was KO'ing his way through the heavywe...

Weird that the Baltimore Colts, Orioles and Bullets all fell victim in postseason during this 17-month run ...
I can remember thinking that at the time. Very weird.

Re: NFL team 'runs' similar to other sports team 'runs' of the same seasons

I was born in Detroit smack dab in the middle of the Lions' only dynasty and the Red Wings' greatest run. Wings---finished first in 8 of 9 seasons and won 4 Stanley Cups (1950, 1952, 1954, 1955) Lions---4 division titles and 3 NFL titles between 1952 and 1957 (5-1 in postseason) Heyday of Bobby Layn...
