Re: Belichick, Brady and the New England Patriots
Of course, as Matt pointed out elsewhere, they also have an advantage in that they've almost never faced any kind of challenge to keep them from winning their own shrunken division and sailing into the playoffs Despite that, they went almost ten years without winning a Super Bowl after having won t...

Re: Your Unpopular Football Opinions
The Miami Dolphins, from November 15th 1970 through November 9th 1975 to went 68--12-1 (counting postseason) and were the single greatest team in NFL history during that period.

Re: The San Diego Chargers to LA and the Raiders situation
If the Chargers are not good it will feel like a small time minor league environment, and NFL regular season games there will begin to feel like sleepy preseason Hall of Fame games in front of Minor League Baseball type crowds. Not the image the NFL wants to project. Even in front of sparse crowds t...

The San Diego Chargers to LA and the Raiders situation
Absolutely disheartening and perplexing. You have the Chargers muscling into a city that has absolutely no affinity or desire to have them. They will be playing in a rinky dink communist kickball stadium t'boot for several years furthering cementing themselves as small fries. Thus far everything PR ...

Matt Forte
Bound to be some differences of opinion regarding this guy, but despite playing in Chicago (and now NY) he is about as under the radar as you can get being under those bright lights. To me he's sort of like a modern day Curtis Martin. Astonishingly efficient and reliable(and an even better receiver ...

Re: 75 seasons
I remember watching it when it premiered on TNT...just a wonderful documentary. Very well presented. I loved Joe Namath in it, just how expressive and passionate he was. Describing his contract negotiations...when he gave his salary demand and asked for a new car and the two Cardinals representative...

Re: fun facts
That's hilarious! Another hilarious story (for the record, the referee of that game was Tom Dooley (#6)). http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000715157/article/steve-young-had-weird-encounter-with-cupid-referee Steve Young might be the only player in football history to get a call because a refere...

Re: HOF Finalists named
The Hall of Fame is just that...a Hall of Fame. Not a Hall of Great football players, coaches and executives. Terrell Davis is absurd. Peak level dominance of just 3 seasons just doesn't cut it for me. He's a luckier William Andrews. And nobody is putting Andrews in the Hall. However Davis star shon...

Re: Belichick, Brady and the New England Patriots
One of the things I've read about Johnny U is how he could manage the game. If the Colts had to come back, he would call the next two plays in the huddle. If they had a lead, he would milk the clock. Why does it seem like Brady and Belichick are the only ones who can do these things? Aaron Rodgers ...
