Re: "Equal"s

May be off-topic, but I see Marino and Peyton Manning as equals and I match Montana and Brady

I see Larry Brown and Floyd Little as a "matching set" if you will. Swann and Drew Pearson. Also a lot of OLbers that seem to go together in my mind

Lydell Mitchell and Chuck Foreman

Re: SB Champions That Should Have Repeated

'78 Cowboys were sooo close. If Jackie just hangs onto that pass it might have changed the momentum. We all remember the '90 49ers were painfully close to registering a three-peat.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise.

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

Exactly. It's tiresome that people who don't understand the rule continue to call the officials wrong. The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise. It meant they were wrong for year...

Re: 1971 NFL season discussion

1971 last year of hashes where they were...1972 they were narrowed and running game took over.

Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II

This team allowed the most points in a season by any team in the 1990s They had a -235 PD and somehow it wasn't even the worst PD for a team that season Know this because of Michael Dean Perry, coming off a conference DPOY (UPI) in 1989 ... on a Bud Carson team... always was wild. Personally had an...
