Re: HOF Finalists named

So happy for Warner. The only reason the voting pundits made him wait was to prove they were right for being so wrong about him.

Re: Coffin Corner Volume 39 Number 1

There's an old expression: never tell the truth to someone who doesn't deserve it.

If you're going to falsely insinuate pointspreads are predictions and then slough it off with "readers can judge for themselves" when challenged on it, there's no point in continuing.

Have a good day, sir.

Re: Coffin Corner Volume 39 Number 1

Super Bowl pointspreads can be found at any one of six hundred websites, particularly this time of year. Why are they being presented in this journal as some sort of product of research? It's not about current point spreads, nor about this Sunday's game, nor about promoting or discouraging gambling...

Re: "This Was the XFL" on ESPN's 30 on 30 tonight

Quality of play was a huge problem with the XFL, Of course, this is exactly what football purists (known today as historians) and snooty media said about the pro grid leagues back in the mid to late 1940s, when it started to encroach on college football, calling it gimmicky, too unpredictable, and ...

Re: Matt Millen part 2? John Lynch new 49ers GM

The crowning achievement of Matt Millen's career took place as the teams were leaving the field and funneling into the tunnel leading to the locker rooms. Millen swung his helmet and tried to "crown" Patriots' GM Pat Sullivan. The clip was iconicized by the fact that none of the Patriots a...

Re: CFL statistics online

Thank you for taking a look! I found a small coding issue that was keeping the Renegades, Concordes and a handful of other teams, most of them pre-CFL, off the front page. We've made the correction. In addition, our system allows for the display of historic logos on a year-by-year basis. We've inco...

Outstanding body of work. Hope it continues.
