Re: NFL's Most Influential Teams

I think the logic behind including the '85 Bears is they serve as a prime and early example of how the NFL was really starting to seep into pop culture---the whole "Da Bears," the Fridge, Jim McMahon with his headband and shades, Ditka, Sweetness Payton, et all popping up on Saturday Nigh...

Re: Modern Candidates HOF Preliminary List

Each player only has to be nominated once to have a chance, right? If so, how do I make sure I don't waste nominations on players that someone else already nominated? Just put in my email "if someone else nominated any of these players, give me back those selections"? You'll get a reply.....

Re: St. Louis Cardinals under Jim Hanifan, 1980-thru-'85

Those Cardinals teams were always intriguing to me. A respectable team in the leagues toughest division. I picked up a Neil Lomax autobiography at last year's western NY PFRA chapter meeting book exchange.

Re: 2023 - 24 season first round playoff schedule

I know. It's bullshit. And like you, I am surprised this hasn't happened sooner. In a few years they'll be selling games by the quarter and placing Burger King ads on jerseys. https://www.yahoo.com/news/one-person-power-stop-nfl-175829943.html I'll just head to my upstairs office and tune the game ...
