Conversely, does another team panic trade for Herschel because Jimmy clearly wasn’t going to keep him beyond 1989 I think this is an interesting question from the original post. What RB needy team was going to pull the trigger on that blockbuster of a deal? And would that team be duped into the &qu...

Walt Cudzik started the 1954 season opener at linebacker for Washington. They released him two days later. He went to the Giants training camp the following year, but failed to make the team. His playing career appeared to be over, until the AFL was formed. Cudzik started at center for five years fo...

A decision hasn't been made yet. It will probably be announced in late May or early June

The 96 Pack were fourth against the run because they played a lot of lower-rated ground attacks. And, who cares what ESPN says? They probably have the 91 Redskins (another vastly overrated team) in the top two. Rushing yards allowed isn't a great stat, because the Packers often went up on teams ear...

Congratulations to Roger Craig, I guess. I can't be particularly excited about any of the Seniors making it to Canton, because I thought they were all HOVG material. But I thought the same about Harold Carmichael and Jimbo Covert and Floyd Little and Ken Riley and Steve McMichael. I thought that And...

Owners usually have the final say on films The 1993 Cowboys highlight film had already been prepared when Jimmy Johnson was fired/resigned from the Cowboys in the spring of 1994. In the original version, Johnson was widely shown. But in the final version, Jimmy barely appeared. Jerry Jones made fre...

Even this postseason with the #1 pass defense, the Bills still couldnt hold a team under 30 points. An underachieving postseason defense finally did him in. I thought with the teams effort, much less injuries, he had saved his job. This is why I felt Harbaugh could get this, the GB or Miami jobs bu...

I still remember Drew Bledsoe going 24 of 56 in a 37-3 blowout in 1995 (and that was before the Broncos became a playoff team.) I'm pretty sure Bledsoe's 32 incomplete passes set a new NFL record. (Vinny Testaverde and Jon Kitna would each have 33 a few years later.) Curtis Martin had 6 carries for ...

Reviving this fun thread.... Only 3 clues because this one might be easy. (for those who have a stathead account) - This was the first NFL regular season game played in this stadium. - The winning team completed a 99 yard TD pass. - The losing team's head coach is in the PFHOF. Good one Chris! http...
