Re: Out with a whimper

Doug Atkins and Ken Stabler - also with the Saints.

It should be noted that in a number of these cases the team sought the player hoping there was something left in the tank or,

Re: Another "changed the NFL" claim

How is a leading article on the most popular (in terms of web traffic) sports website today a good find? I didn't know Sports Illustrated was still producing content. I thought they were usurped by The Athletic. Ha, that's a fair point. :D And it remains to be seen how long The Athletic will last. ...

Re: Another "changed the NFL" claim

All that is likely true, but my point is that this "changing the game" thing has jumped the shark as a phrase. It's been used to much it's not really meaningful anymore. I can be wrong but I cannot think of how Revis "changed the NFL". I really can't. Good find on the article, t...

Re: 2018 Obituaries

It was hardly Billy Cannon who put LSU football "on the map." If anything, it was Coach Paul Dietzel, the 1958 undefeated season, and the catchy nickname "Chinese Bandits" shock troop second string defense. The 1958 Tigers were a three-platoon team with a "White" unit t...

Re: Owners Approve Raiders Move to Vega$

Las Vegas is the city of sin. You never get out the way you went in. For those who like wearing blinders, the Raiders in Vegas will be just another move.
