Re: 1992 Chargers discussion

I am not sure, but maybe Bobby Ross is the only coach to come from college and have a winning record in his first year in the NFL? I know Ross handled Special Teams for Marv Levy in Kansas City for a few years. Yep, Dan Henning did not have any winning seasons as an NFL head coach.

The Packers selecting Rich Campbell from Cal over Ronnie Lott set them back many years.

Re: How will Belichick's final chapter be written?

At 73 years old and worth $70 million, BB is just the latest in a long line of rich old farts made a fool of by some sweet young thing tickling his ego and his prostate. Kinda pathetic. He'll never finish his contract at UNC. There have to be a host of administrators at Chapel Hill hoping he quits....

Re: Five QBs from one school in the NFL at the same time

Regarding the University of Maryland during that stretch, their one starting quarterback who did not play professional football was Dan Henning, whose father coached the Falcons and Chargers.

Re: 1986 Vikings vs 1986 Seahawks

Not meaning to hijack this good thread but Bill Parcells is right when he said the Giants' defense would have been declared illegal if they had had Reggie White opposite Lawrence Taylor.

Giants' sale

If my math is correct, the Tisch family paid $356 million (2025 adjusted) in 1991 for half of the Giant franchise. A member of the Koch family paid $1 billion for ten percent of the franchise last week. Whew.

Re: "Missing piece"

Maybe not a missing piece, but Preston Pearson was a key addition when he left the Steelers for the Cowboys in 1975.

Good topic

1950 Rams Record(s)

I think this season marks seventy five years since the Los Angeles Rams' prolific offense set records. I think their biggest one is average points per game with 38.8 points. Are there any others out there that have lasted 3/4 of a century?

Thank you.
