Re: Your starting team of Super Bowl-era players who never played in one

Surprised Barry Sanders didn't make the cut. 4 Vikings on that list... you could probably put most players from the 1998 team together and have a pretty good team.

Re: NFL broadcast preservation status

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but from the 1977 season onward is when we start to see the majority of NFL games have a full broadcast available in some archive? And for playoff games in the rounds before the Super Bowl, would that be more like the mid 70’s? Of the games I’ve only read about...

Pre-1966 NFL Championship Game MVPs

I was reading about Jim Taylor being chosen as the 1965 NFL Championship Game, and I'm wondering, has anyone ever gone back and tried to figure out who MVPs would have been had there been an award for the games? There's an excellent book - Pro Football Championships Before the Super Bowl - that goes...

Re: Super Bowl XVI on NFL Network

I've never been able to find a complete broadcast of SB XVI, and I see that Wednesday, 6/11 at 9:30am CST the NFL Network will be showing SB XVI as a Super Bowl Classic. I am recording it. Just an FYI. There's a "Greatest Games" DVD for the 49ers that's super expensive... at least $100 on...

PFHOF myth

I'm sure most of you here know this already, but I wanted to put this out there, since this myth comes up every February. The myth is: "A player is going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a <insert team here>." No player goes into the Hall of Fame as a member of a single team. All team...

PFHOF busts

Weird question but I figure this is the place to ask. For those inducted into the PFHOF in the sixties, are those the same busts in the Hall today? Or have new ones been made over the years because of aging? I seem to remember much more recently Brett Favre's bust being changed, but I can't be sure....

Re: Super Bowl champions by the percent of the time they passed the football

Only one pre-1990s team over 50 percent. Not surprised to see both recent Packers teams being pass heavy.

Re: Sandwich year teams

2003 Steelers. The Steelers went 9-7 in 2000, then won their division in 2001 and 2002. In 2003, it all came apart, but it worked out when they got to draft Ben in 2004. Then, they went 15-1 in 2004 and won the Super Bowl in 2005.

Re: What's the biggest football moment you witnessed in person?

Sadly, I haven't been to enough NFL games to have ever seen anything of significance. The most meaningful football result I ever saw was the 2017 Rose Bowl which finished 52-49. But as for the NFL, practically the only thing of note was either the Packers keeping the Browns winless (in 2017) or Clay...

Re: E.J. Holub

I would bet there are more players than E.J. who started Super Bowls at more than one position. Ronnie Lott comes to mind (CB 81&84; S 88&89). However, I don't know if there was anyone who started on offense on one occasion and defense on another... anyone? Yeah, what I meant was starting o...
