Re: 2024 Obituaries
I do not believe this gentleman played professional football in the United States, but it was not for lack of trying. It seems like he tried out for many teams in different leagues multiple times during the 1960's. He must have really enjoyed playing but met with better success as an actor. Anyone w...

Re: 1991 Giants had Parcells and all staff had returned at least one more year?
[quote1. Is there anything in particular about the Redskins in that stretch that didn’t match up well against the Giants?][/quote] I think I read somewhere the Giants picked up on Redskins WR Ricky Sanders would put his mouthpiece in on a running play. The Giants also had a lot of tough customers on...

Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100
Looks like the final ten are: 10. Andy Robustelli 9. Sam Huff 8. Eli Manning 7. Harry Carson 6. Emlen Tunnell 5. Michael Strahan 4. Frank Gifford 3. Mel Hein 2. Roosevelt Brown 1. Lawrence Taylor Just my opinion, Eli Manning seems a little too high, should maybe be 11-12. Emlen Tunnell seems a tick ...

New Orleans Saints and NASA 1972-76
I was listening to a quality podcast Michael MacCambridge was on where he noted Saints owner John Mecom, Jr. hired an astronaut with zero football experience to run the Saints football operation from 1972 to 1976. I looked it up and yep, Richard Gordon was the astronaut. I think John Mecom, Jr. is 8...

Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100
I am curious - where do folks think John Cannady should be ranked? I never saw him play and do not know much about him.
Thank you.
Nick

Re: Giants doing top 100 players ... have released 91-100
Your lists are terrific, well done.
Side note: living twenty miles from Met Life Stadium, I think rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers is like 7 or 8. The summer hype is plainly ridiculous, probably because it's looking like a 6-11 season for the Giants in 2024.

Re: Ray Brown (OL)
.I interpret this as the voters saying "yeah, you were always a great player....sorry for continually overlooking you....here is your All Pro vote now". JMO
I think you're correct.
Thank you all for your insights.
