Was reading Pudge Heffelfinger's book last night and came across this: Dartmouth's strongest lineman? Gus Sonnenberg of the 1919 edition. He later became professional wrestling champion. Gus cost the Dartmouth Athletic Association plenty of money by ripping out hotel room radiators from the floor - ...

I have read that the game-winning FG by Lou Groza in the 1950 championship was hotly disputed by the Rams as not going through the uprights, but I have not been able to find any footage of the kick. There's a recording available online called "1950 NFL Championship The Way it Was" where a...

I remember a lot of talk of getting a running back to compliment Marino, but it never really happened. I haven't paid much attention in recent years, so when I saw Ryan...

I think the 75th Anniversary Team was pretty well done. This team looks like it was generated by AI.

I'd say no on Watters and I think there's a better methodology here than who showed up on the most ballots. What if you weighted it so a 1st place vote was worth 5 points, a 2nd 3 points, and a 3rd 1 point? Or you could do something fancier like a Borda count. Also, I couldn't get the numbers to add...
