A couple of weeks ago there was a good thread on the end of Super Bowl X. On the opening kickoff of that game Dallas did a successful reverse with Thomas Henderson taking the ball from Preston Pearson. I think the only other time I have seen this executed is with Stump Mitchell handing off to Roy Gr...

Great material on Charle Young - a great player on John McKay's USC teams. I feel like Russ Francis is being overlooked a little, but maybe I am wrong? Can someone who saw Francis play give their opinion? Thanks a lot.

Jon Morris had a very long career in professional football with a lot of accolades. Is he being overlooked for the Hall of the Very Good?

Thanks.

Barkum and Caster were both premium NY draft selections from Jackson State in the early 1970's and both played for over a decade. I think Caster's last game was in the Rose Bowl - victory in Super Bowl 17 with the Redskins. Both very good receivers.

Joel Collier coached with the Boston Patriots in 1960 and stopped coaching after the 1992 season (also with the Patriots). Can anyone think of an AFL coach in 1960 who had a longer run?

Thank you.

Many know Carroll Hardy as the only man to pinch hit for Ted Williams, but it seems like his work as Head of College Scouting with the Denver Broncos beginning in 1970 is overlooked? It seems like he found a lot of members of the Orange Crush defense et al. Is it accurate to say he found a lot of Br...

This is not really a football question. There is an indication in Les Richter's biography that he was valedictorian of the Class of 1952 University of California at Berkeley. I think this means he graduated first in that class? He must have been very intelligent to do this as he had football, it's a...

I am curious what people think about the Hall of the Very Good candidacy for former Packer linebacker John Anderson. Although he did not earn any All-Pro honors, he was second team all Decade linebacker for the 1980's and played at a very high level for a very long time. Wondering what people think....

Brad Henke, a defensive lineman with the 1989 Denver Broncos who found success as an actor, passed away on November 29, 2022 at 56.

Agreed on Calvin Hill. He carried the ball in three decades, no small feat. I think a pretty good running back.
