Good call on McCarthy, RC ... Meanwhile, Atlanta has had an interesting off-season, turning down Belichick for Morris, giving a bunch of money to Cousins, who now has to win games while mentoring the #8th overall pick in the draft in QB Penix ... I dunno Yup, there was something about McCarthy's &q...

Here's another... Two of the HCs who I played for in my career are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The very first HC whom I played for would go on to muster a career total W-L %age at just above-300. The first 2 TDs that I'd throw in my second-last season would be in a game against the team that'...

Oh, I'm not advocating for some kind of best-of series for the NFL. For one thing, the playoffs would go on until Easter. I don't think there'd be anybody standing at the end.

200th overall

Purdy was drafted later than Starr
