Re: 1945 Championship
You dog. I am SO gullible... No wonder I'd never heard that before... *Hangs head in shame* Now I'm trashing your trivia book because I don't know if I can trust the answers. Well, there might be a wrong answer in there somewhere, but if so, it's not intentional. I guess I needed to use one of thos...

Re: Super Wild Card Weekend
Wouldn't a swathe of hundred dollar bills be more appropriate for todays quarterbacks?RichardBak wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 2:17 pm Forget the slide. I think all QBs should have a lace-trimmed hanky tucked into their pants, and treat them like it's flag football.

Re: Modern Candidates HOF Preliminary List
Another question (I'm new here): At what point in the year would you say it would be appropriate to mention someone as a nominee for the Hall of Very Good class of 2024. I've thought of a few people who deserve a look. Welcome, Fever. It is always good to see a new face around here; it means intere...

Re: 1945 Championship
Wow, Bob. I didn't know that. One "doink" different and it's a whole other outcome... That WAS just a joke ... You dog. I am SO gullible... No wonder I'd never heard that before... *Hangs head in shame* Now I'm trashing your trivia book because I don't know if I can trust the answers.

Re: 1945 Championship
(And considering the game was won by a one point margin you have to consider that that decision may've cost Washington the Championship.) On top of that, a day before the game the Rams suggested moving the goal posts back to the end line. But the Redskins said it would be too much trouble, and besi...

Re: 1945 Championship
...The Redskins had sneakers but the Rams did not. The Redskins coach made an agreement with the Rams to not use theirs so the game would be played on equal terms... Can you imagine anyone doing that nowadays? Equal terms? Fairness? Saps. Losers... they'd be drummed out of the league. What a wonder...

Re: Has there ever been a team like the Dallas Cowboys of the 21st century?
The Packers aren't as talented as the Cowboys and they're not as talented as the 49ers either. But every now and again in sports you get teams that somehow get in the playoffs, they have nothing to lose, there aren't any expectations on them, and they go a lot further and play a lot better than any...

Re: Freezer Bowl
Both of the Eagles back-to-back Championships (1948&49) were played under atrocious conditions. 1948 Championship in Philly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_NFL_Championship_Game Due to heavy snowfall, the grounds crew needed the help of players from both teams to remove the tarp from the fie...

Re: 2023 - 24 season first round playoff schedule
I know. It's bullshit. And like you, I am surprised this hasn't happened sooner. In a few years they'll be selling games by the quarter and placing Burger King ads on jerseys. https://www.yahoo.com/news/one-person-power-stop-nfl-175829943.html I'm doing my part. I'm watching the Warriors on free tv.

Re: Modern Candidates HOF Preliminary List
O'Neil wasn't in the preliminary ballot for 2024. Given that he played his last game in 1999, isn't he eligible for the Hall of Very Good? One needs to be out of football for 25 years. They are not eligible in their 25th year. This upcoming year (if I am not mistaken) will have players who last pla...
