[ quote="Brian wolf" post_id=64986 time=1772608325 user_id=47094] I am sure many in this association have visited the PFHOF at some point Andy ... its a great place to visit and carries the local community . For me though, its about recognizing the greatest players and coaches in NFL histo...

Guess I was alone - or among the few - who enjoyed last night’s game. Great defensive units, few penalties and a strong running game by Seattle - love how Walker stands flat-footed and completely upright before the snap.

Close through three quarters.

Billy Howton, end, Green Bay Packers 1959-‘58, Cleveland Browns 1959 and Dallas Cowboys 1960-‘63. Two-time All Pro, four Pro Bowls and was the league’s career leader in receptions and receiving yards when he retired after twelve seasons.

What if a player is drafted and signed but never plays a down for the team? If he is injured or cut before he plays a down do you still consider him "on the team?" Does it matter (to you) if he did or didn't play in the preseason? I'm leaning towards considering a player officially "...

Mike Furry, 2006, 1089 yards receiving with the Lions. He had played three years with the Rams, the first two as a receiver and in the third had moved to safety and started 11 games. Signed by the Lions for the next season, he moved back to receiver and finished second in the league in receptions.

Green Bay finished 8-7-1, after a 6-1 start. None of their wins came against opponents with winning records when they met.

The highlight of his career was a game-saving interception in the closing seconds of the Packers' 34-27 victory over...

Bob Long, reciever for the Packers, Falcons and Redskins from 1964-‘70) died Sunday. Bob was a guest at the PRFA Meeting in Green Bay in 2016 (I believe Rick Schabowski drove him up from Milwaukee). They got there early Friday night and Bob grabbed a seat to listen to speakers (he was to speak with ...

Probably because football is a game and not a Marvel movie. A stirring climax isn't built in, nor should it be. If one team has the game in hand in the fourth quarter, they've earned the right to put it in cruise control: empty the bench, give the backup QB some snaps, etc. I don't need an exciting...

Has anyone mentioned Bronko Nagurski? Then Bronko came to the U of Minnesota varsity-alumni game in 1959 at the age of 49 to punish the varesity defense on the opening drive. The equipment manager had no helmet large enough fro Nagurski, until he found an old leather one that he had to stretch to f...
