Those Cardinals teams were always intriguing to me. A respectable team in the leagues toughest division. I picked up a Neil Lomax autobiography at last year's western NY PFRA chapter meeting book exchange.

I wonder if the Patriots will pursue Mike Vrabel.

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'll just head to my upstairs office and tune the game ...

1. Ravens 2. 49ers 3. Bills 4. Cowboys 5. Browns 6. Rams 7. Lions 8. Chiefs 9. Dolphins 10. Texans 11. Buccaneers 12. Packers 13. Eagles 14. Saints I think I could have put my #4 through #7 in almost any order but settled on this. I can't ignore the Eagles first 11 games body of work but their late ...

Too lazy to look it up right now but I'm willing to bet the Panthers are near last in the league in punt/kickoff ret...

I saw that play too and was amazed at the non call. Sure, the Vikings player may have began the "process" of the tackle but had an ample second or so to let up after the fair catch signal. Also it's entirely possible that he didn't see the fair catch signal because his head was sort of dow...

Correct!

Ohhhh! Tricky! I was racking my brain on this one thinking of non championship 13-1 and 15-1 teams that this question would apply to and didn't even think of 1982.

I was just talking with my father in law about the history of NFL free agency and the Rozelle rule came up. Many of us know that, in that era, should a team sign a free agent, the teams involved would need to negotiate fair compensation and, if they couldn't, the commissioner would decide for them. ...
