If there are such things as make-up calls, the Cousins one was to compensate Chicago for the earlier reversal of the fumble/backward pass recovery.

49ers punter Jim McCann was born in 1949, as I imagine a few of his teammates were. The actor Ed O'Neill worked in a steel mill before being signed as a free agent by the Steelers (he never played for them). If any players of native descent played for Washington, I haven't been able to find them. I ...

The Giants, at 14-18 the two years after 1990, might belong in the discussion.

Does anyone have all these? You might know that this was the last Topps football set (for a while, anyway) that wasn't released all at once. The third series was sent out to just a handful of stores, with the cards available to everyone else via mail order. With winter sports coming up, as with most...

The most memorable game in what has been a pretty drab rivalry was probably in week 2/1989, when Green Bay overcame a 21-0 deficit to win, 35-34.

You're right, 1969. He took a swing at Dale Hackbart.

Green Bay's Doug Evans was ejected from a game in Kansas City in 1996 for bumping an official. Buffalo's Steve Tasker was ejected from his last-ever game, in 1997. Same reason. More Packers ejections: Ray Nitschke, vs. New Orleans, 1968, for fighting. Forrest Gregg, at Minnesota, 1968, for fighting....
