WARNING: Old guy reminiscing here... I always kind of lump in MNF with my first year out of high school, working on the assembly line at Dodge Truck. Made all of $4.25 an hour (with 20 cents shift premium). Good UAW wages in 1972! Anyway, those were the days of mandatory OT. I was a spot welder on t...

I haven’t pimped stuff on this board before. But for those who may be familiar with a book I did a few years back on the 1950s Lions, When Lions Were Kings , Arcadia has just published a pictorial history that basically serves as an illustrated complement to it. It's called Detroit Lions: A 1950s Dy...

So where's Karl Sweetan??

Maybe if they do a Top 2,000 list someday....

The Cowboys' run was the most annoying. Grew sick of having the "America's Team" bullshit constantly shoved down our throats. But I admired the hell out of Staubach and respected Landry. Served their country and were class acts on and off the field. I will say the Dallas run did produce on...

My buddy and I played hundreds of games, completed a couple of seasons and kept all the stats. I play...

Detroit 14-3 (easiest sked in NFL)

Meaning, lets say we knew that modern player x only got 28 votes in first found of voting from 15 to 10 moderns and not enough to advance-what does that tell us? And if the Hall released the voters ballots , what would we learn if in the vote down from 15 to 10, voter z included Eli? Interesting an...

I fondly remember watching Saturday afternoon games in December back in the '60s---the old AFL. It was kind of cool to have snow falling outside the living room window of our cozy Detroit home while watching Hadl & Alworth play pitch and catch in the sunshine in San Diego.

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, ...
