Re: Unfairness in the replay rule?

In Pats-Giants game, that was a catch, he took two steps and it wasn't simultaneous. Does anyone recall a 1960s play when Redskins had a TD against Giants where the receiver had the ball in endzone for a half second and dropped it. Times do change. How in the world did that Giant not intercept that ...

Re: The First Barefoot Placekicker

Are you saying that Hunter Hahnemann of Newport Knights in Bellevue, kicks dropkicks? He has field goals, one from 41 yards. Are these by dropkick?

Re: Has This Ever Happened?

I vaguely remember reading somewhere where Sid Luckman had to cover Hutson as a safety and he ran him into the goal post. One reason the CFL and other Canadian football doesn't move the goal posts back to the back might have various reasons. The end zone is 25 yards long, front to back. Also, if bal...

Re: Has This Ever Happened?

<Don Hutson modernized all sorts of common receiving routes — he was the first to run a slant in a straight line while others did it in rounded fashion — but perhaps his most famous was inventing the post route. At that time, the field goal posts were within the field of play in the end zone, and in...

Re: Boston Bears.

If the Vikings were concentrating on winning a Super Bowl not long after 1961, no wonder they couldn't win one when they finally began Super Bowls just under a decade later! No one has nicknames ending in "s" because it is fashionable to use a "z" instead? Bayonne Vikings should ...

Re: Where did the nicknames come from?

It's funny how those who actually have hatred for "PC" are similar ones who want to change "french fries" to "freedom fries" when they get all upside the head about one of their own burrs up their asses. I always wonder whether they'd like to change Atlanta Braves to At...
