Re: Willie Galimore
Galimore was the senior finalist in 1992 but was not elected. Very tough case because of his early death along with splitting time with Rick Casares. But Casares only played one more year with the Bears after 1963, and Galimore's touches would have gone up. We might not have drafted Sayers in '65 i...

Re: McCaffrey vs. McElhenny
After 14 games this season, Christian McCaffrey's stat line is:
Rushing: 244 carries, 1292 yards, 5.3 yards per carry, 13 TDs.
Receiving: 57 receptions, 509 yards, 7 TDs.
This would have been sensational in the 14-game era.

Re: The N.F.L. now embracing Xmas. . .
Wow, I have very fond memories of that 1971 KC-Miami/Podolak Variety Show. I was in high school, just spent my first Christmas with my girlfriend (now my wife of 47 years), and came home to my toasty warm Detroit home where the whole fam-dam-ily was already deep into the lime vodka, kielbasa, and P...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
Speaking of one year, rushing wonders, Derrick Ward, who had a 1000 yard season for the Giants in 2008, mentioned by Gary, has been arrested in California for robbing different businesses, including gas stations. Since it was in LA County, and he supposedly wasn't carrying a gun, Ward will probably...

Re: Random trivia #2
Tommy Prothro, Bill Peterson, John Ralston, Dan Devine. Prothro with the Rams was the first, big news at the time, Chuck Fairbanks at New England and Don Coryell with the Cardinals came in 1973. The Patriots made a big money offer to Joe Paterno, who considered it, but stayed at Penn State. Dan Jenk...

Re: The Stupidity Of Thursday Night Football
As I've written before: American businessmen and politicians will make any decision, or not make a decision, on whether it will make more money. Even a relatively small amount. Al Davis was often called, and claimed to be, something of a "rebel" or "against the establishment." Bu...

Re: Upcoming Book from PFRA member Joe Zagorski
Is there any news about this book on O.J. Simpson's 2003 yard season?

Re: Wade Galimore
His name wasn't Wade Galimore, it was Willie Galimore. In the 80s NFL Films did a highlight film (one of those I referenced in another thread) of Willie Galimore. I read that Steve Sabol enjoyed it so much that he got Galimore before the PFHOF Old-Timers committee. Obviously nothing came of it. Gali...

Re: Dick Gordon, 1970 Bears season
In 1971 Sport Magazine did story on Dick Gordon titled something like, "Dick Gordon: The Way He is."
In it Gordon referred to his relationship with Concannon, "We are coordinated."

Re: Underrated "A Football Life" opportunities
Years ago ESPN would show a lot of NFL Films material on the 50s 60s, 70s, 80s. It filled up time effectively. You could record it for your personal library.
