Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
Exactly. It's tiresome that people who don't understand the rule continue to call the officials wrong. The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise. It meant they were wrong for year...

Re: 1971 NFL season discussion
1971 last year of hashes where they were...1972 they were narrowed and running game took over.
The less extreme of the wide side vs narrow side allowed runs either way ... teams no longer ran sweeps to the wide side majority of the side.

Re: "Name the Team" trivia part II
This team allowed the most points in a season by any team in the 1990s They had a -235 PD and somehow it wasn't even the worst PD for a team that season Know this because of Michael Dean Perry, coming off a conference DPOY (UPI) in 1989 ... on a Bud Carson team... always was wild. Personally had an...

Re: 1971 NFL season discussion
New Orleans made their wins count (Rams, 49ers, Cowboys- plus the Oakland tie that felt like a win) Yes, Archie Manning pulled up some good quality wins. Going back to magazines in 1972 (previews) they mention that was one of reasons they thought Saints would be a good team in 1972-73-74 ... Didn't...

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
Strahan also is credited with the most tackles for a loss in 2001, 2003, and 2005 according to pro football reference. TFLs are dubious in a lot of ways because of how they keep them. They only count solo tackles, lead tackles -- that's one. Two, if you force a fumble you don't get credit for a TFL...

Re: 1983 Chargers
The defense was atrocious. They played a 3-4 The Chargers usually played a base zone, Classic Tom Bass. I think there were the things you mentioned plus the philosophical differences between players and Bass, and also fit. Bass wanted to run a Tampa-like defense and in 2nd year got to do it full ti...

Thank you
Interesting artifact from the Aug. 12, 1968 edition of Broadcasting magazine. It includes a team-by-team rundown of flagship stations, announcers, and sponsors, as well as information about what networks paid to broadcast pro and college football. The article starts on page 23. https://www.worldrad...
