When Lilly confronted Gil Brandt about it he told Lilly that those guys (Olsen and Deacon Jones) were teasing him about how much they made -- as in they were not getting what they said they were. Good stuff of Gil Brandt (of all people) calling Merlin Olsen a liar. Father Murphy would never lie! At...

I would have done a fake punt with Tom Tupa throwing a pass to Van Waiters for the game-clinching 42-yard TD.

You are both correct and got all 4.

What four PFHOF members played in the WFL?

Lemar Parrish in 1970 ... how is he not in the HOF? I think it would be interesting to find cases of "wrong teammate" in the PFHOF. Like how did Ken Riley get in before Parrish? I thought the same about Emmitt Thomas/Johnny Robinson but then Robinson got in recently. Other possible cases ...

its hard to find the kick six stats. I am just going through players that I remembered having returned a FG for a TD at some point. One oddity is Al Nelson, who returned two FGs for TDs. But I haven't found anyone else who meets the criteria other than Hester at this point.

Bradshaw was still pretty bad in 1973. Although his 49% completion percentage was the best of the three quarterbacks his 8.3% interception percentage was worse than Hanrattys bad 7.2%. His 13.3 YPC was good but the lowest of the three. And his 11.8% sack percentage trailed the other two by a mile, ...

No, it's not. I am saying that both teams didn't really play anyone in the playoffs. That 84 Super Bowl had a Clash of the Titans buildup. It was viewed as a coin toss between Marino and Montana. The 89 Super Bowl was a joke. The Broncos had already been blown out twice in the Super Bowl, and here ...
