Re: 2023 Obituaries
Awful. Strangely I was just watching that old NFL films clip where Francis talks about taking some Raider player on a flight in his private plane and then (jokingly) kicking the door open and threatening to boot him out.

Re: 2023 season, Week 1
Okay, I'm done. Zach Wilson should not be allowed to play again for the Jets unless in garbage time. He is still at the embarrassment level. He has to make significant improvements to merely be called "bad." Broadway Joe agrees with you 100%: https://sports.yahoo.com/joe-namath-calls-for-...

Re: Florio bent out of shape for fumble/TB rule but silent on Tush Push
I have a hunch it has to do with trying to give every advantage possible to the offense. Stacked up at the 1...push em in. Same reason they allow those absurd sticky gloves (which I make regular one handed catches with when I put them on) That's probably the reason. Same way they now allow the offe...

Re: Worst RBs/WRs with a 1000 yard season?
Another weird one was former Oilers WR Tim Smith. 3rd round pick, barely plays 1980-1982. Then in 1983 picks up 83 receptions for 1,176 and follows that up with 69 catches for 1,141. Has a 46 catch season after and that's pretty much it for his career. Those were some miserable years for Houston.

Re: 2023 Hall of Very Good Finalists
Similar to the Carroll Dale comment, I was really surprised that Terry Metcalf wasn't in the HOVG yet. Seems like this is the sort of thing that was made for that guy. Only really played 5 NFL seasons. He was an incredible game changing type performer but...just didn't have any kind of longevity. M...

Re: Florio bent out of shape for fumble/TB rule but silent on Tush Push
I think the Tush Push will be legal until a starting QB gets hurt by it. Then there will be a big outcry and pushing the runner will be against the rules again. Reminiscent of the mass momentum plays of the game's early days ... Exactly. The rule against pushing or pulling the runner was one of sev...

Re: 2023 season, Week 1
Well sheajets ... Hackett didnt exactly run his runners yesterday and Wilson succumbed to pressure, with Dallas winning easily. I know the line needs to get better but run blocking would make it easier on them ... It was a massacre. Dallas is great, it was a short week and we have no QB...but I sti...

Re: George Allen (Giants 1978-79)
Wow...that is petty. He was a proven good coach. Who knows how it would've went with the Giants but the man never had a losing season.

Re: Florio bent out of shape for fumble/TB rule but silent on Tush Push
The pushing indeed used to be illegal. On the famous Ice Bowl Bart Starr QB sneak, Mercein stated that he wasn't putting his arms up celebrating touchdown but rather trying to show the official he was not pushing Starr into the endzone I have no idea why they changed it. You should have to make the ...

Re: 2023 season, Week 1
The Jets I believe, will re-sign Flacco. Is Biscuit still available? They'll say they believe in Zach and roll with him until he throws up all over himself...and he will because he's terrible. There could be QB's available in 4 weeks that are not necessarily on the table now depending how other tea...
