I had season tickets to the USFL's Oakland Invaders. It was at an Invaders game that I saw one of the two best passes thrown that I ever saw "live." Oakland wore UCLA colors and on this play the pass rush had surrounded the opposing QB. It looked like a huddle and all I could see was sky b...

And the Raiders now have 4 first round picks over the next two years (so far, at least).
Add that to Ashton Jeanty and All-Pro Brock Bowers and they have a decent chance at being in the running a few years from now.

And Al Michaels is 81!

I'm by no means an expert but I've always thought the most important "speed" in the game was reaction time and the first few steps after one has determined where they need to be. I think it also depends entirely on your position. A receiver needs different speed attributes than a pulling g...

Charlie Brock did make it into the HoVG this year with 37 votes. Peggy Parratt (and Ray Donaldson) did not as they each had 36 votes.

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" -- Robocop ... yep, if they let me pay one dollar a day, maybe I can own it after 9 million days? Seriously, if the team sells for 9 million, fans/taxpayers should never allow any politicians/officials to ever propose taxpayer funding for any new or renovated ...

That's exactly what first popped into my head, too!

And then I thought about the 1945 Cleveland Rams...

What am I bid for the World Champions? Going once, going twice... Let's start a fund! I'm sure that if we all pool our loose change we can make a reasonable offer. (Reminds me of when Lorne Michaels/Saturday Night Live offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on their show...) https://www.nfl.com/news/...
