Re: HOF Class of 2016

Owens should have made it this season (along WITH Harrison)....the overall career value/cumulative numbers, the five 1st team All-Pro selections, and the eyeball test present an overwhelming case....the guy is clearly, at worst, one of the top 8 wide receivers of the Super Bowl era....most of the ar...

Re: All-Super Bowl Era Team

I love this. Kudos. I agree with many of Bachs suggestions. I think Randy White is the No 5 DT of all time and shouldn't make this team. I like Olsen more than Page, but if you consider just the period from you 966 onward, I give the edge to Page. If you're using 1966 onward, Unitas wouldn't come c...

All-Super Bowl Era Team

Here are my selections for the all-NFL team for the last 50 years, or the Super Bowl era. I patterned it after the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team in terms of numbers of players at each position (with the addition of a fullback and a special teams player). Your take? OFFENSE QB Joe Montana San ...

Re: 15 Finalists + 3

Quarterbacks (1) Brett Favre is the only guarantee this year. Frankly, I’d rather have Warner than Favre for one game, but the latter’s accomplishments are inarguable. I feel Warner should be a Hall of Famer, but he may have to wait until he is once again the leading QB candidate on the ballot. (2) ...

Re: Suddenly... It's Gambling!

The amount of commercials for Draft Kings (which spent more money on advertising this past weekend than any other entity) and FanDuel made me want to punch through every television I was watching . . . while I don't advocate outlawing these daily leagues, I hope there is enough backlash that SOMETHI...
