Bates' UFL field goal
Jake Bates won Saturday's UFL opener with a 64-yard field goal. It was his first professional place kick, since the UFL does not have conversion kicks after TDs. Can anyone think of another place kicker whose first professional field goal attempt was a successful 64-yarder? Or longer? I can't think ...

Re: Neutral? Hah!
The Rams played their first Super Bowl in the Rose Bowl, losing to the Steelers. It was the first Super Bowl played in the home market for one of the participating teams.

Dick Butkus
I know this should be in a different group of topics, but this is one of the biggest names in the history of the game. Dick Butkus has passed away at 80.

Re: USFL, XFL are merging
https://theathletic.com/4909482/2023/09/28/xfl-usfl-merge-spring-football-league/ What do we make of this? Will the resulting "USXFL" finally play a meaningful role in the professional ecosystem? Will the product finally produce recognizable stars in the way, say, the CFL does? I think on...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
Again, I must emphasize that the Buffalo (or WNY) chapter was set up to be regional, so members from Rochester, Syracuse, Erie, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Cleveland, etc. could join us. We have ALWAYS let it be known that everyone is invited. Short of sending the association chopper to pick people up, it...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
The definition of a chapter in the PFRA is a sub-organization of the PFRA that serves people in a specific geographic area. Where did you get the definition? The only chapters the PFRA has or has had have been chapters that serve people in a specific geographic area. SABR chapters follow the same m...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
If it's going to meet on-line, why is there a need for geographic boundaries? The definition of a chapter in the PFRA is a sub-organization of the PFRA that serves people in a specific geographic area. A virtual chapter that is all-inclusive of PFRA members is simply the PFRA itself but virtually. ...
