Re: "Deacon" on back of Deacon Jones's jersey

I found the video. Frank Gifford has called him "Dave Jones" four times by the end of the first drive. You can actually hear the stadium announcer saying "tackle made by Deacon Jones," after he tackled Larry Brown. Othe next drive, Deacon jumped offsides, and Gifford again called...

Re: Radical draft picks/trades in retrospect...thoughts on who "won"?

Nobody really won that Ricky Williams deal, especially since he would be off to Miami in a few years. As for Janikowski, it's not surprising that Al Davis did that, but there were rumors at the time that he could have been deported, so it was a risk. Washington wound up with Champ Bailey (after usi...

Re: Worst draft classes for a team

Though he contributed to championship teams and made the HOF, Bobby Beathard had some horrible drafts for the Chargers, before he left in 2000. Gil Brandt made the HOF for Dallas but had bad drafts during the 80s. If these guys can make it, why not Jack Vainisi or Don Klosterman? First Round Recap ...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated

Plus they had an incredible list of names on that coaching staff. Green Bay just flat out couldn't beat the Cowboys. Period. Especially at Dallas. Once free agency/age/injury hit the Cowboys, then the Packers took over for their back-to-back NFC titles. Those Packers weren't as good as the Cowboys ...

Re: 1994 Steelers vs. 1997 Steelers

The 94 Steelers were better. The 1997 team shouldn't have even made the playoffs. They had a few games they should have lost, like Washington, @Baltimore, @Arizona, and @NE. Den and KC were the two best teams in the AFC that year, and that was the defacto AFC Title Game. Oh please. 97 KC was a frau...

Re: Obscure trivia

I am eagerly anticipating a book to be published about this team later this year. ;) correct 1964 Bills for those not in the know. The same team that led their league on points scored, yards gained, and turnovers lost. The only other offense (that I've found) to lead their league in all three categ...

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 ...
