Colts/Packers, Colts/Bears, Browns/Giants thus far. Upcoming: Steelers/Giants, Colts/Lions, Colts/Giants, Browns...

Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Finalists

Thank you - when is the voting deadline? I'm not exactly certain... We're awaiting the official word from The Coffin Corner which will also include the paper ballot. You still have some time for those extra tough last 2 to 3 choices. ;) Last year we had a record setting number of voters but we're c...

Re: Chuck Foreman

Chuck Foreman to me, is HOF. No question HOVG and I was stunned when I learned he wasn't in there. "There" is a little vague so, just for clarification, Chuck Foreman has been ion the HoVG since 2010. My 'dream backfield' would be Billy Sims and Chuck Foreman in their primes. That'd be a ...

Re: Top 10 linebackers, 1950 thru 1969?

Well, according to the NFL's Team of the Decades:
1950's:
Joe Fortunato
Bill George
Sam Huff
Joe Schmidt

1960's:
Dick Butkus
Larry Morris
Ray Nitschke
Tommy Nobis
Dave Robinson

That excludes my favorite, Chuck Bednarik... so I guess he'd be in my top ten.
