Johnny Robinson, Don Coryell, Tony Gonzalez, Ed Reed, Steve Hutchinson, and Richard Seymour are my predictions.

Football Card sequencing

Started collecting football cards in 1974 when I was 7 years old. No idea of how Topps sequenced things, bit numbers ending in 0 or 5 were always stars or semi-stars.

Top-4 All-Time RBs...

This is a tough one. Walter Payton and Barry Sanders for sure. Then you have guys like Nagurski, Clarke Hinkle, Steve Van Buren, Marion Motley, Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson. This is a tough one fellas.

Hope this doesn't sound like a rant ...

Totally agree. This is NOT the same game I grew up and fell in love with in the early 1970's. The game is so pussyfied- pardon my French, it's really sad, in my opinion. The way they protect QB's today is sickening. Nothing but greed and the all mighty dollar. The way defenses are so limited now is ...

new books for 2018

Recently picked up Hollywood's Team: Grit, Glamour, and the 1950's Los Angeles Rams by Jim Hock with Michael Downs. Haven't read it yet, but it looks great.

Joe Thomas "honors"

To me, Joe Thomas is a first ballot hall of famer, and one of the best Tackles I've seen in a long time.

HOF Class of 2018 Named

I am so glad that Jerry Kramer and Robert Brazille got in. Terrell Owens,to me anyway, is not a Hall of Fame player. HoVG to me is Owens. No problem with Moss going in, but I think Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, and Calvin Johnson are all way superior to what Owens was. That's my two cents...

NFL in 2022

I do agree that one thing I liked about football is that it was one refuge from the divisiveness and politicization that we have increasingly seen in America over the past 15 or so years. It has so permeated everything in this country that I have lost friends because I voted for this person, or bec...

NFL in 2022

I shudder to think what the NFL will be like in 2022. The game has become so pussyfied today. I mean, hell, if you lat a pinkie and barley touch the QB, 15 yard penalty and don't get me started about a WR going over the middle. It is so not the game I grew up with and fell in love with as a kid in ...
