I want to say there was a time in the 1960s where Tom Landry considered using Mel Renfro on offense and defense in training camp but the idea was shelved early on. Maybe Hunter is somewhat similar to Renfro when he came out of Oregon? I remember that. That was in 1966, when Landry was looking to re...

Wow ... and just like that, a 14-3 season goes down the drain. Will the Vikings bring Darnold back? A one-year franchise tag? Go with McCarthy? O'Connell coached a great year but in two big games, his team wasnt ready for primetime. Great defensive effort by the Rams. Good news for Los Angeles fans...

After watching McCarthy for a few years in Ann Arbor, I think he can more than handle the pressure of being The Guy. As for Arnold, he's been exposed nationally twice in the span of one week. Speaking of exposure, if the Vikes do decide to re-sign him--which I don't think they will--make him shave t...

Until 1955, a runner was not considered down and the play over until his forward progress was completely stopped. This meant a ball carrier could be knocked off his feet, but as long as he wasn't firmly in the grasp of a defender, he could bounce up or wiggle free and continue his run. This led to p...

Boris Shlapak holds a record that will never be broken. The former Michigan State placekicker played one year in the NFL with the 1972 Baltimore Colts. He holds the record for lowest field goal percentage with at least eight attempts. His 1972 and career totals were eight attempts with none made fo...

I watched some of the Chargers-Texans game on Nick just for the helluva it. Since I try not to take too many things too seriously, even the NFL, I kinda enjoyed the graphics and commentary. SpongeBob SquarePants asking if the pass was "intercepterated" was just the kind of question my own ...

Dem's a lotta numbers.

Well, Mayfield did take apart the Lions in Week 2 at Ford Field. Of course, that was before the secondary had a chance to really jell. But still, I wouldn't necessarily want to face TB in the playoffs.

Yeah, it was always a question of money. The NFL wasn't flush in the '40s. There also was a debate about where to locate it and whether the league or an outside entity would be paying for it and running it. I know Lions GM Nick Kerbawy tried for years in the '50s to get a Hall up and running in Detr...

Lions got Jameson Williams the ball in the last few seconds against Vikes to get him to 1,001 yds receiving for the season. So now his streak is....one.

Didn't know Evans got $3 million bonus for getting his 1,000. Damn. That buys a lot kielbasa and Labatts.
