Re: Tom Miner 1958
Miner left Canada after he messed up his right knee and Calgary cut him. Pittsburgh signed him with the understanding that they'd take care of the medical expenses. I believe he was the last player cut by Buddy Parker just before the '59 season started. Miner had just reinjured his knee in an exhibi...

Re: A question about evaluating quarterbacks
Reading this thread has me thinking fondly back to my old APBA playing days. Nobody rated higher than a 5 on those cards, and beery arguments with my buddy Gary over some QB (Brodie? Morrall? Hadl?) being rated a 3 one season. Played a few games while eating Cheetos. Orange thumb prints all over the...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
Oh, I'm not advocating for some kind of best-of series for the NFL. For one thing, the playoffs would go on until Easter. I don't think there'd be anybody standing at the end. That said, if would be interesting to imagine the '68 Jets and Colts playing a 7-game series. I wonder how that would turn o...

Re: 2023/24 Super Bowl
I long ago came to the conclusion that, more often than not, the best team doesn't win the championship. Too many variables--weather, bad calls, lucky bounce, playoff seeding, injuries, etc.---that are out of a team's control and cancel out the opponent's superior talent. I don't think some of the N...

Re: Obscure trivia
My guess would be George Taliaferro. He moved around a lot in the 1950s (at least 3-4 teams) but was always a standout. This is correct! 3 pro bowls, 3 teams, 3 years. 51 Yanks, 52 Texans, 53 Colts I eagerly await my case of Labatts and double ring of kielbasa (fresh, not smoked) from the prize com...

Re: JOE NAMATH vs LEN DAWSON
Of course it's not Joe WIllie.
It's Zeke Bratkowski. He's wearing Packer green. Side note: Like what you've done with your hair, Zeke!

Re: JOE NAMATH vs LEN DAWSON
...and he wore white shoes! The horror of it! (Now that I think about it, so did my dad, with a powder blue leisure suit and white belt, straight off the rack at Montgomery Wards. Ahhh, dem were da days.) At least my leisure suit was nave blue. I think mine was J.C. Penny but same difference. (And ...
