Thank you for stabbing, but Williams/Stewart is incorrect.

Walt Garrison Lawrence McCutcheon Jeff Otah Ron Rivera One hint will be provided if this goes a few days with everybody stumped. :D HINT: Each of these players has a unique link between t...

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?

No need to apologize. Out of curiosity though: How was Strahan at run defense? I always thought of Strahan as being the best run/pass combo DE of his generation. You had guys like Justin Smith and Grant Wistrom who didn't put up big sack totals but were very effective....you had guys like Freeney &...

Re: 1950s Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles had a set-back at home vs Pittsburgh, 9-7, between both those triumphs, but they were 6-2 coming down the stretch and looking - I'd imagine to most at the time - like a team that could maybe put any truth to any theory, mostly by Neale himself, that Cleveland wasn't "real" football...

Re: Giants/Rams history

Our local sports radio kingpin Mike Francesa has always called that 1989 Divisional Playoff "Da Flippah Andissin Game". Francesa had a very cozy relationship with Parcells and has always claimed that that was the single worst game he's seen him coach. That's kind of a strange sentiment. T...

Re: Super Bowl XVI on NFL Network

San Fran fumbled the opening kickoff and it looked like Cinci was going to get some kind of points right off the bat. His interception near the endzone quickly got San Fran back on track. Who knows how that game develops if it's 7-0 or 3-0 Bengals. I thought that was the key sequence of the game. T...

Re: Wayne Walker

I've thought the same thing. The Lions brought in Garo Yepremian, who had a good rookie season, then fell off his second year and the Lions probably gave up on Yepremian too quickly. At this same time, the Lions also had Lem Barney performing the punting duties, and Barney was about as good as a pun...

Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations

Ahmad Rashad, WR Rashad --- the 'nearly perfect receiver" ... maybe not that but skill set and eye test to me have him worth a nomination When I collected Topps cards as a kid, it seemed like every year I got a Rashad card and every year he had "All Pro" or "Pro Bowl" liste...

Super Bowl XVI on NFL Network

I've never been able to find a complete broadcast of SB XVI, and I see that Wednesday, 6/11 at 9:30am CST the NFL Network will be showing SB XVI as a Super Bowl Classic. I am recording it. Just an FYI.
