I recall reading during the 1970s that Ram GM Don Klosterman had long coveted Dan Pastorini.

Allie Sherman was fired after losing badly the first Jet-Giant game ever in the 1969 preseason. This game was long awaited by Jet players. The Giants lost the rest of the exhibition games that year but it has always been said Sherman lost his job by losing to Joe Namath's Jets. I've read and heard t...

RIP Walt Garrison A big fan of his hard running style. A true complimentary back that every great team needs. He played well in both SB games. Just a pinch between yer cheek and gums ... After Super Bowl VI, Walt Garrison walked up to Jim Brown, who was there "advising" Duane Thomas. Garr...

North Dallas 40 was really good. Exposed the Cowboys due to Pete Gent's experiences. I want to see Number One with Charleton Heston. TCM is showing Number One (1969) on Thursday Morning, October 19, at 6:30 am ET, set your DVR. Charlton Heston is TCM's Star of the Month for October. Heston plays a ...

I'm sure several Bills have played for the Bills. Jim Brown played for the Browns, and probably more. When Colt McCoy inevitably (hopefully) gets to the Colts... that'll be a special one. Any saints play for the Saints? Anyone with "St." in their name? Anyone who could be defined as a rai...

Without Pat Summerall's 49-yard FG to beat the Browns in the last game of the 1958 season, the 1958 NFL Championship game would have been the Colts against the Browns in Cleveland.

I saw McElhenny play on TV for the Giants in 1963. In the Week 7 game against the Browns he played a lot, and scored on a screen pass faking several Giants out. In other games you would occasionally see flashes of his old form. In the 1963 championship game against the Bears, McElhenny played almos...

Awful. Strangely I was just watching that old NFL films clip where Francis talks about taking some Raider player on a flight in his private plane and then (jokingly) kicking the door open and threatening to boot him out. Yes, that was in reference to the infamous 1976 Pats-Raiders AFC Playoff game ...

Something else R.C. Owens did in football that is noteworthy... A famous picture of him was shot at the goal post crossbar with Owens using his amazing leaping ability to block a long field goal that would have just cleared the bar had Owens not leapt up and got it at the last second. I believe thi...
