Re: NFL stadium quirks

RFK tidbit because of the stadium's design and the proximity of the fans to the field when configured for football, the stadium was extremely loud when the usual sell-out Redskins crowds became vocal. Legend has it that Redskins head coach George Allen would order a large rolling door in the side o...

Re: 49ers 80s Championship Era: Most Underrated

I'm going to mention two guys who played on the 1st four 49ers Super Bowl teams. Both were defensive players. My #1 choice: Keena Turner OLB. Did not get a lot of post season honors, mainly I think because he wasn't a big pass rusher. Very consistent player though IMO. My #2. Eric Wright CB who famo...

Re: Patriots 1973

A talented Patriot roster ... Leon Gray is deserving of the HOF in my opinion. Hard to believe he is not in the HOVG ? I was looking at an old Street and Smith 1973 Football magazine recently and read up on the Miami Dolphins. Imagine my surprise when I read that Gray was drafted by them in the 3rd...

Re: Least Likely Super Bowl QB

Kerry Collins nearly drank himself out of the NFL but was resurrected by Giants Coach Jim Fassel. He won a satisfying NFC Championship but had in my opinion, probably the worst SB performance ever, against the Ravens. RIP Coach Fassel I was thinking about Kerry Collins last week and was debating ab...
