I think the compensation had to be decided on before the player could join his new team. This happened in the Dick Gordon case, where Gordon signed with the Rams in 1972. Gordon couldn't join the Rams until October 12th because Halas disputed the compensation. Halas wanted players, the Rams wanted t...

Web sites take time and money to operate and we can't take them for granted. That being said, I hate to see original work disappear. Of most use was the minor league information, exhibition games, and draftee information that helped me separate players with similar names. Perhaps some alternative so...

I'd pick the Eagles. Not a fan of teams with bad pass defense in that era, which is why the Falcons lost to the Cowboys in the first place

I would like to know if a similar list can be do for running backs. Off the top of my head I remember when Raiders RB Zack Crockett scored a lot of 1-yard TDs from 2000-2003 with few carries. And of course the 1979 Chargers-Raiders TNF game when Booker Russell scored three 1-yard TDs in his only th...

Whats funny, is when running backs get over 20 TDs in a season, everyone yawns; when a wide receiver does it, its like "Great Scott! MVP! Of the 11 receivers in NFL/AFL/AAFC history with 17 TDs or more in a season, Moss has the most with 3, with Rice having 2. They are the only ones with over ...

Looking at the differences in the vote between AP Offensive Player of the year and MVP can be screwy. I'd vote the same for both, but apparently a lot of people don't. Usually QBs do better in MVP but not always. Sometimes one QB will leap over another in the MVP voting as well. Jerry Rice in 1987 w...

Wes Chandler over Mark Moseley 1982

The other candidate for worst MNF game at that point would have been 1975 Jets at Chargers. Namath is benched for JJ Jones for partying too much and the 1-11 Chargers beat the 3-9 Jets 24-16. I humbly submit last night's Bears-Vikings game for consideration as worst MNF game ever. https://www.pro-f...

Neil O'Donoghue did it in that very year, 1983, in a Monday Night Football game, Cardinals vs. Giants. I believe that O'Donoghue missed the shortest FG possible, as the ball was placed at the Giants 1-yard line. That 20-20 tie was considered for many years as the worst FG MNF game ever. The other c...

He was explosive but not very durable. Not a consistent receiving threat. Don't really see enough to separate at all from players like Jon Arnett and Tom Tracy. Just good.
