Re: Who is on your NFL broadcast “dream team?”

My make them stop team includes John Madden, Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. Madden was a completely insufferable self-parody by the end. He played himself rather than being himself.

Re: Good Position Groups on Bad Teams

Buffalo Bills' 1968 secondary, holdovers from their championship teams -- Butch Byrd, Booker Edgerson, George Saimes and Tom Janik. Had three pick sixes off Joe Namath in their only win of the season.

Two examples to start the discussion, the receiving corps of the late 60s Redskins (Bobby Mitchell, Charley Taylor and Jerry Smith) and Eagles (Ben Hawkins, Harold Carmichael, Harold Jackson).

Tempts me to star...
