Keith Byars on Pepper Johnson, 1989 (?)
Warren Sapp on Chad Clifton, 2002. Dirty and malicious, but certainly memorable.

Re: Packers are 96 years old today.
The most interesting aspect of that 1919 season was the Packers' 6-0 loss in the final game to the Beloit Professionals (aka Fairies) -- partly because it came after the Packers had dispatched their first 10 opponents by an average of 56-1, and partly because the officiating of the game almost led t...

Thoughts on Brett Favre
On the eve of his induction into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and the ceremony to retire his number, a few random thoughts about #4. Feel free to add your own. * I would call him the most important player in Packers history and maybe the third-most important figure of any kind in the team’s hi...

Re: 1970 postgame 'incident' w/Shula & Ewbank
Leading 13-10, Shula had Garo Yepremian kick a chip-shot field goal with 41 seconds left instead of running out the clock. Maybe that was the problem.

Re: Football games that were closed to the public
I don't have links handy, but there have been numerous examples of high school games being played before empty stands to discourage gang conflicts.

Re: 1972 Packers in the Playoffs
George Allen wrote the book on stopping that Packers team by employing a five-man defensive front, hence John Brockington's 9 yards in 13 carries. It's hard to imagine Tom Landry not swallowing his antipathy toward George Allen and adopting a similar strategy to neutralize Green Bay's lone offensive...

Re: Your nominations for best football card ever
I don't know about card, but the 1967 Philadelphia set is the most visually appealing I've ever seen. The photography, the layout, the typography, the use of color, the logo cards -- it all works. http://www.footballcardgallery.com/1967_Philadelphia/23/John_Unitas/ http://www.footballcardgallery.com...

Re: Your nominations for worst football card ever
John Hadl 1975 card with the Packers is awful. I always like the "Patriots" no. 5 (maybe an official or chain guy, but not a player). http://www.footballcardgallery.com/1975_Topps/443/John_Hadl.jpg Especially since Hadl never faced the Patriots during his season-and-a-half with the Packer...
