Re: COFFIN CORNER VOLUME 46 NUMBER 3

Jumping Fences: A Brief Story of the Colts To everyone’s misfortune, temporary editor Lee Elder had a page to fill. His brief history of the Colts franchises compares the team to the legendary Triple Crown winning horse Whirlaway and commits other acts of literary heresy. I remember having an NFL R...

Re: Random Inane Trivia

Reviving this old thread. This one's really inane....

What do these seemingly unrelated players have in common?

Walt Garrison
Lawrence McCutcheon
Jeff Otah
Ron Rivera

One hint will be provided if this goes a few days with everybody stumped. :D

Re: Overtime margin of victory

When I read the intro paragraph of this post, my immediate thought was "no way that's all possible.". But sure enough. Very interesting!

Re: PFHOF busts

Great question. I don't THINK so. (But I don't know for sure) I only say that because the times I've visited the Hall over the years I've noticed it seems like the older busts seem a little more worn. Probably after years of people touching them and patting them on the head. Also the newer ones seem...

Re: 1991-92 World League

Get an Ireland franchise in there! I believe the Rooneys are trying to drum-up even-more NFL-interest there! The Dublin Brewers! Guinness Stadium, perhaps! Their colours could be whatever the exact shade-of-black the Guinness Beer is and whatever the exact colour of its...Head! A capital 'D' on the...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

I never like rules that involve mind reading. Speaking of which... Well, not necessarily mind reading but an official having to determine what WOULD have happened instead of what actually happened.... The whole receiver would have landed in bounds if he wasn't pushed so we'll call it a catch. I alw...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

The Tuck Rule game ... damn the ruling and interpretation of the "incomplete pass" ... Brady clearly brought the ball down from a passing motion making him a RUNNER who fumbled the ball into the Raiders hands. No way that was an intended pass. It was a correct interpretation of a dumb rul...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

Speaking of the above post about Cowboys throwback uniforms. I think the first year we saw any sort of throwbacks was in 1994 for the 75th anniversary. Here's the dumb thing I remember though... In team's feeble attempts to create retro helmets, they just peeled current logos off and slapped on old ...
