Re: Pottstown Firebirds
Yes, you're right. If you watch until the very end of the Pottstown Revisited clip, YouTube automatically sends you elsewhere to watch the original. Just to give you a print version of King Corcoran's story, here's an article that ran in the Washington Post after he died (2009?): http://www.washingt...

PS -- Be sure to scroll back to the beginning if you pull it up. For some reason the link I posted starts in the middle of the program.

Pottstown Firebirds
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Pottstown Firebirds, who were immortalized in an NFL Films documentary that ran before Super Bowl V. They did another documentary about that team 30 years later known as "Pottstown Revisited," and I thought you'd like to see it: https://www.youtub...

Re: ’83 Lynn Dickey VS ’89 Don Majkowski
Nobody cares. What's the next comparison going to be, 1963 Ed Brown vs. 1967 Kent Nix?

Re: Thoughts on Super Bowl XII (Dal 27 Den 10)
Denver was lucky to even be there thanks to a terrible call when Rob Lytle clearly lost the ball on a fumble before crossing the goal line for a pivotal touchdown in the AFC championship. The Raiders were hosed on that one.

15th Anniversary of the Death of Johnny Unitas
Today is the 15th anniversary of the death of Johnny Unitas on 9/11/15. Here's a poignant passage about it from "Johnny U." "He died on an exercise machine at Kernan. Bill Neill heard his gasp and went to him. A while later, the phone rang at Gino Marchetti's home in West Chester, Pen...

Re: How does London Fletcher look in film study?
By the end of his seven or so years with the Redskins, he looked like he was playing on roller skates, but the first four or five years he performed at a high level and provided leadership in the locker room. He was one of those rare Redskins free-agent pick-ups who actually worked out overall. They...

Re: Bobby Beathard is contributer nominee
While Beathard was great at finding hidden treasure (e.g. signing Joe Jacoby as a free agent), he also whiffed on a fair number of draft picks, most notably trading a bunch of picks and players for the rights to move up and draft Ryan Leaf.

Re: All-time John Fox starting lineup
As a Redskin fan, I'm hoping to see an all-time Norv Turner starting line-up, or better still, one for Jim Zorn!
