I'm sorry, you were saying?

I agree as well Bob ... the Rams suspiciously had the "home" game the next season. Its in the books though. I get the feeling the Dolphins will visit Arrowhead in the wild card game ... How was it suspicious when the site for Super Bowl LVI was chosen six years before the actual game? Jef...

Former official here: It is, strictly speaking, impossible to get a spot accurate from 20-25 yards away in a mass of bodies. Any time someone gets or misses a first down by inches, it's within the margin of error and you just hope they even out over time. Because, try as you might, unless a series s...

- Tony Adams was away from football for years, then came back at age 37 for the Vikings. The Tony Adams one was REALLY weird. Like, there were NO more recent quarterbacks on the street? After his tri-MVP year in the WFL, he was just fair-to-middling (1-6 as a starter) with Kansas City, and hadn't p...

A true "sabbatical" is time off you intend to come back from at some point. Believing you are done playing and then being enticed back by financial reality or missing the game/teammates or having few other options is something different. Feels like most of the guys you mention fell into th...

Definitely whatever the opposite of an homage is.

On another site I namechecked Jerry Golsteyn in my handle. We can laugh about these things now.

I'd like to see all the boxes for the 1960 & 1961 CFL playoff seasons. Actually, the regular seasons too for those years. Welp, here's a start. East semifinal (one game) between Montreal and Ottawa, followed by the two game, aggregate West semifinal between Edmonton and Calgary. Canadian newspa...

I have a copy of Halas: An Autobiography , by Halas with Gwen Morgan and Arthur Veysey, apparently released as a paperback in 1986 with Mike McCaskey's foreward after the Super Bowl XX win. There is a book called Halas By Halas , also by Halas, Morgan and Veysey, which came out in 1979, which I have...

I com plete ly agree with you but I e-mailed a local sportswriter about that very topic a few years ago and though I don't remember ex act ly what his response was the gist of it was that there are too many perks and favors involved in teams being invited to bowl games for the situation to ever go ...

The Booker Reese saga cost the Bucs a shot at Dan Marino a year later. What a terrible episode (but it was par for the course in Tampa at the time). While true, TBF, I'd say the Bucs would not have been smart enough to take Marino in 1983, but lots of other folks weren't, either. But Reese is reall...
