Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
I know this is a football forum, but that was a great show. Too bad there wasn't a season 2. Indeed. I was a high school senior in a small midwestern city during the school year that show takes place in, and I'm telling you, they nailed it. The characters, the clothes, the music, the teachers, all ...

Was traded, then his next game was against his old team
You hear about this in baseball once in a while: A guy is traded, then he immediately faces his former club. This has even happened between games of doubleheaders. Because of the relative rarity of in-season trades, and the fear of letting any team intelligence escape to your next opponent, this has...

Re: 1998 Eagles Season
The 1998 Eagles also had the ripple effect of cementing Mike Holmgren's move from Green Bay to Seattle. As 18-point underdogs, they lost to the Packers by a closer-than-it-looks 24-16 score, and Holmgren was so incensed by the catcalls he was receiving from Packer fans that any doubts he had about l...

Re: Duane Thomas question
In midseason 1978 when Packers had injury a RB, Thomas wrote an open letter to Bart Starr saying he wanted to try out and be Middleton's backup. Apparently it came close to happening -- he was in the facility, reporters saw him and reported it -- Starr was furious ... no decision had been made, it ...

Re: Best-ever KICKOFF kickers?
I know even in the early 1970s Marcol and Stenerud, in their prime, didn't do a few of the kickoffs. Dave Pureifory and Marvin Upshaw subbed in. Some sort of minor injury, play it safe? Pureifory filled in for Marcol in 1975 after the latter tore a thigh muscle. He did the placekicking for parts of...

Re: The most 'boring' Super Bowl ever, IYO?
Broncos-Seahawks for me. Literally from the first snap, it was clear that one team came to play and one absolutely did not. Dumb mistakes throughout, not a single minute of drama or suspense...an unfortunate throwback to when lopsided Super Bowls were the rule, rather than the exception they've been...

Re: NFL Defenses of 1977
Eller looked super light that year. Also some defensive tackles playing a bit skinner, too (Page, Brooks, Sherk maybe Chambers). I never thought about it, but you're right. Compared to the behemoths who would come along, linemen from that era look downright emaciated. In fact, I believe Alan Page a...
