Ouch. Well played, sir. Well played.
It says right on his page, film buff and future screenwriter, and his wallpaper photo is of the poster for Yojimbo, a Toshiro Mifune movie. He's talking about the movies.
I don't know that it's necessary to single out any of the Football Outsiders writers. I always understood the contempt between PFRA and FO to be well-acknowledged.

Considering his ill-informed opinion, it's a worthy assessment.

Let us not forget that pro football did not exist before the first Super Bowl. There was a BIG BANG and suddenly, a team of green clad men from Wisconsin were playing a bunch of white-and-red dudes from Kansas City in a very strange new game ... The FO guys are more about being hip and provocative than they are about being right ... why bother?

Scott Kacsmar is one of those guys who will not budge. So good luck arguing with him on the AAFC.
With some people, you can convince them or prove to them that they were looking at something wrong. There will be no convincing with Kacsmar. The AAFC sucked and that is it.

So the Pack only won two titles during the 1960's?
That doesn't sound like a dynasty to me...

Several years ago I tried to convince a young co-worker that the Cleveland Browns had a proud football tradition.
He laughed and laughed.
"They've never even been to a Super Bowl!!"
