Re: Predictions for "Team of the Decade"
It will probably be a team nobody is currently considering, like Denver.

Re: The best immobile(?) quarterbacks
Namath the most famous but also Norm Van Brocklin, who coach George Halas thought ran like a girl ... haha Halas would have probably won a few more titles if he had Van Brocklin at the helm. Other than Luckman and Billy Wade for a few seasons, he did not exactly produce a string of very good quarte...

Re: Randall Cunningham, HOVG
Randall Cunningham was, and still is, my favorite player. He was fifteen years ahead of his time and certainly deserves to be in the HOVG. During his Philadelphia years, he played behind horrible offensive lines, had a non-existent running game and a receiving corp that was hampered by injuries (Mik...

Re: Disappointing title defenses
1991 Giants- With the over his head Ray Handley succeeding the retired Parcells, the Giants tumbled to an 8-8 mark. The Giants Week 1 win over the 49ers was their high point. 1981 Raiders- Perhaps it was the inevitable move to LA, but the Raiders never got untracked following their Super Bowl XV vic...

Re: Best post-'79 Chuck Noll Steeler squad?
The 1989 Steelers weren't the most talented, but it was Noll's best coaching job. After those first two losses to Cleveland and Cincy, most teams would have folded. Instead, Noll got them to overachieve to a 9-7 record, where they defeated Houston in the WC and only lost by a point to Denver in the ...

Re: strange Super Bowl stadium selections
Jack Murphy Stadium seemed out of place to me for some reason. I'm surprised the Astrodome and the Kingdome, before it started to fall apart, never hosted a Super Bowl. I think the issue with the Astrodome was that it had a relatively small capacity. I liked it when Jerry Jones' new stadium hosted ...

Re: I didn't know he played for them.....
After missing a flight to a game, San Diego dealt the troubled Chuck Muncie to Miami in 1984. Before Muncie could suit up for the Dolphins, he failed a drug test and was returned to San Diego. After a stint in rehab, the NFL suspended Muncie indefinitely. In 1985, Rozelle lifted Muncie's suspension ...

Re: Impact on NFL/players with a spring college season
Besides warmer weather, what is the benefit of moving college games to the spring? It doesn't make sense to go up against March Madness, the beginning of baseball season and the NHL. College players playing a spring schedule who are drafted will be more prone to injuries since their bodies will have...
