I don't really see Parker's case as being that complicated. I understand that a number of voters aren't familiar with him, but he wasn't competing with anyone else for a spot.

Re: Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2024 talk

Does Art Powell not getting in break a streak? Who was the last Senior Finalist not to get in before this? Thanks. Dick Stanfel in 2012 Stanfel was chosen again by the Senior Committee a few years later, after he died. He made the HOF that time. Paul Tagliabue was the last coach/contributor to not ...

Re: Quarterbacks that were hideous in bad weather???

I think Montana proved that he could play in less-than-ideal conditions in his final college game, the 1979 Cotton Bowl. It was the day after a surprise ice storm hit Dallas, and the wind chill was below zero. Montana missed the start of the 2nd half, as his body temperature fell to 96 degrees. He m...

Re: Three titans gone

Bill Belichick - 9 S.B. appearances (as H.C.), 6 Lombardis. Pete Carroll - a national championship at the college level and two S.B. appearances and 1 Lombardi Trophy. Nick Saban - 7 national championships at the collegiate level. All three out of a job within the span of (approximately) 24 hours. ...

Re: Random trivia "dumb team"

I looked this 1983 Seahawks-Raiders game up and noticed something. Jim Plunkett, Marc Wilson, and Marcus Allen all threw TD passes for Los Angeles. I wonder now how many times has that happened since 1950 - three different teammates throw a TD pass in one game. I found a couple, both involving Detr...

Re: WR with most career 90+ yard TD receptions

Took a quick look at PFR list of longest receptions in history. Mike Wallace and Terrell Owens also had two 90-yard+ receptions in their careers. Aside from them and JuJu and Taylor, nobody else has done it more than once. PFR must only go back so far. Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley had a 97 yard ...

The 1962 Bears might be the only team to appear on both sides of the coin on this list.

As noted elsewhere, the Packers beat them by a cumulative 87-7 margin

Re: Players who were what their team's nickname was

I'm sure several Bills have played for the Bills. Jim Brown played for the Browns, and probably more. When Colt McCoy inevitably (hopefully) gets to the Colts... that'll be a special one. Any saints play for the Saints? Anyone with "St." in their name? Anyone who could be defined as a rai...
