Re: Big Ben-era Steelers HOF
Ward I think will get in within 3-5 years. Even though he didn't quite have the stats of Chad 85, Moss or Owens, he also didn't bring the emotional baggage those guys brought to their teams, and he was a solid team leader. Also, he was a Super Bowl MVP, and has two more rings than the three of them ...

Re: player knocking out same player two years in a row
Although it didn't end his season, the Raiders put Lynn Swann out of the game with concussions in consecutive meetings - the 1975 AFC Title Game and the 1976 Week 1 meeting between Pittsburgh and Oakland.

Re: 2014 NFC South: New Worst Division Ever?
I wouldn't like that either. The sole problem is the size of the divisions, 4-teams is too small. The answer is never more WC teams though, I cannot stand wild cards in any sport at any level, especially football. It's illogical that a team can be "World Champion" after finishing 2nd (or ...

Re: '78 SI NFL preview, Bud Goode's computer predictions
Goode was one of the pioneers of NFL statistical analysis, along with other guys like Jim Barnes. Don't know that he was ever employed by SI, but he was all over the newspapers in the late 1970s. I think some teams might have employed him as a consultant. He looked at a number of stats, but was kno...

Re: NFLgames postponed or moved due to weather
2010 Vikings at Eagles game was postponed due to a snowstorm, moved from a Sunday to a Tuesday night. Notable because it was the first Tuesday NFL game since 1946. I think the Chargers game that was relocated in Arizona, it was a MNF game, was from 2004. They gave free tickets if you brought canned...
