Re: A Signature Play in History for each team
For the post-Namath and Gastineau's Jets, I would chose Jumbo Elliott's diving TD catch in the Monday Night against Miami in 2000. When you talk about great comebacks, that's the play they usually show. As a fan of the Namath era Jets, I would pick Namath's 52 yard pass completion to Don Maynard ag...

Re: Best Year of the 1960s
For me it's 1969, though I didn't start watching the NFL until 1970. With the era of afros & astroturf right around the corner, the '69 season bridged us into the "Super '70's" and provided some memorable events, games and personalities: - 50th Anniversary year for the NFl/10th and fin...

Re: Most courageous performance by a QB?
My vote (for games that I've seen) would be Craig Morton's performance in the 1977 AFC Championship game. Morton spent several days in the hospital the week prior to the AFC Championship game against Oakland suffering from an injured hip (torn muscle) which had to be drained of blood and other fluid...

Re: Warren Sapp arrested
If you haven't seen it, I suggest you seek out the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Broke, which features interviews with athletes who made millions upon millions of dollars and wound up broke. Perhaps the worst case was that of Vince Young, who burned thru a 30 million dollars after taxes from his Titan...

Re: Fred Cox
As the Vikings became the very last team to adopt a soccer-style kicker (I think it was Benny Ricardo being their first), I seem to recall a reporter pressing Grant on his loyalty to straight-on kickers, I think his response had to do with the one-step, straight-on motion was less likely to slip in...

Re: Kicking is just too easy
[quote="luckyshow"]Somewhere above someone posited the idea of a 1-0 game where the defense runs a point after (XP) back and the original TD was nullified by the league for some violation. No, not really. 1) There is no such animal in the NFL, run the PAT back the other way and all you get...

Re: Post your favorite historic NFL photos
Not an NFL photo, but a rare 1952 Crown Brand Western Canadian league photo featuring form Los Angeles Ram Dick Huffman. Huffman is only one of three people to have been named NFL Player of the Year/MVP and earn induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame (Joe Kapp and Warren Moon are the othe...
