Re: Interesting Photo (Easy Quiz)

I'm surprised Hanratty and Kunz were allowed to take part in the photo shoot, given that they played for Notre Dame. One pre-draft summary said this about the Falcons, who picking right after Buffalo: "While their need is for offensive linemen, the Falcons are hesitant to pass up Purdue's versa...

Re: That Catch

But did Clark do it on no sleep the night before, lipstick still smeared on his cheek and possibly still a bit drunk? No, first quarter ... good chance Max was still "relaxed." Print the legend. Wasn't the reason that he went out the night before because he didn't expect to play? Yes. He ...

Re: That Catch

And therein lies the rub. You would have to " guess " but no one will ever know for sure - nor do we need to know. You mentioned that McGee's catch was made in a far more stressful circumstance than Clark's...I think a 3rd down TD catch while down 27-21 with under 1 minute left is more st...

Re: NFLgames postponed or moved due to weather

The 2010 Vikings-Eagles game was postponed because the worst of the storm was going to hit during what would be late in the game, which would have meant that fans were trying to get home in whiteout weather, with some no doubt having their cars die on the way home. Thus, it became a public safety is...

Re: Mike Curtis vs. Jack Lambert

Both Curtis and Lambert had their "body slam" moments: Curtis with the fan trying to pick up the ball in 1971, and Lambert with Cliff Harris in Super Bowl X

Re: SB Champs opening on the road

The '88 Browns-Redskins game would have gotten much more hype than when they ended up playing in late November. Before the start of that game, both had pretty ho-hum records: Cleveland at 7-5 was two games out of first place; Washington was 6-6, in fourth place one game behind THREE teams at 7-5: NY...

Re: Mike Curtis vs. Jack Lambert

The Raiders of that era are notorious for their hatred of the Steelers, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Tatum would make a comment like that.
