Saleh and DeMeco Ryans were the hot commodities coming from SF, but while Ryans is having an outstanding coaching season, which should get COTY ... Saleh is struggling. Both inherited talented young QBs but the Jets face more scrutiny and distractions than the Texans. How long before Saleh is back ...

My oldest son is a very successful engineer/project manager. He and I have discussed how head coaching failures may often be failures in project management of the sort he has often seen on the job. Someone who is very good at managing a smaller group may not do as well when put in charge of a larger...

Johnny Blood told me the ideal backfield would be 4 Bill Dudleys. I don't know ... A team like that would have a very weak passing attack. Maybe three Dudleys and Sammy Baugh or Sid Luckman. Now THAT would be a backfield. Well, John also said that if he had to choose one player to build a team arou...

Then I thought Dudley 1947, but missed the KO TD. Although he had a 78 yarder but nothing significant the next year After thinking about it I remembered that there was another league. That's where he is and he checks all the boxes. Speaking of Dudley as a versatile player, he's the best ever at fil...

I don't understand the fuss about it. I called Toney offside before the officials did.

The Lions suffered a tough loss yesterday but it will better help their team and season. This team doesnt need to win this division too easily anyway.

CBS seemed intent on sanctifying John Madden yesterday, which made me wonder: Did Madden ever say anything that improved anybody's knowledge or understanding of pro football? Frankly, I thought he was a buffoon as a commentator. He said "Boom" a lot and, when he wasn't saying "Boom,&q...

Don't forget that Landry started with an expansion team. As a result, he began his career with five losing seasons and went 18-46-4 over that span. Reid and Shula didn't have that handicap.

Despite Purdy's decidedly mediocre play today the 49ers had that game in hand until the refs made a particularly egregious call on a third and long for "unsportsmanlike conduct" on a impossible-to-avoid hit on a receiver running a crossing pattern (who ran at the defender). I don't want t...

Do you think the NFL should list separate records for 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14- 15-, 16-, and 17-game seasons? Should there also be records for those who played in only 5 or 6 games because of injury? I would go with 12, 14, 16 (& now 17) since they had been in existence for a significant amount ...
