I used to ponder the same thing about John Madden who was 1-6 in AFL/AFC Championship games. It seemed like he and Hank Stram had to wait a ridiculously long time before getting their call to Canton.

David ray was a receiver as well. Never caught a pass. But ran drills with WRs when he wasn't kicking. He got into at least one game, opening day 1971. WR coach sent him in. Prothro says it and yells, "What's Ray doing in there" and he got yanked. Never saw him again, though if could have...

This is an interesting interview with George Allen from 1980. Among topics, he mentions having interest in the CFL: https://youtu.be/3zk1y9c2oj0 Allen, in his brief stint as the Rams head coach, wanted Gabriel in 1978 but he failed a physical because of his knee. I always found it odd that Gabriel m...

Make it 4. I think Maher is the first to miss 4 extra points in a game ever.
