MLB is now incorporating Negro League stats into its record book. This is also the league that has Barry Bonds not in its HOF but Harold Baines is in. I am going to voice the politically-incorrect opinion that I find this to be absolute lunacy. There were seven different overlapping "Negro Leag...

Re-ripped from the PFRA headlines! I think Anderson and Scott were arguably the greatest safety tandem in NFL history, but I wouldn't put either guy in the HOF because they simply didn't have HOF careers. I'm not sure what actual player on those No-Name defenses is being overlooked by Canton. Those ...

. But Swann - I mean he truly might have been the difference in the Dallas/Pittsburgh Super Bowls. If the Steelers don't pick him in 74 and Dallas takes him with the next pick, I think we may very likely be talking Swann and Pearson and Dallas' SB wins rather than the Steelers. BUT - the Steelers d...

There's one set of data I want to share briefly now that we are talking about the NFC's streak of consecutive Super Bowl titles. The StatMuse search I did a number of posts ago for the records of the NFC vs the AFC since the merger found the following records for the NFC vs the AFC in the years of ...

I remember reading an article that claimed Pierce Holt and Kevin Fagan were actually the same person.

After the Rams won the Super Bowl in 1999, they changed their uniforms and had more of a muted gold than their previous yellow color. I didn't like the new uniforms, in part because I loved their traditional uniforms, but the person who probably hated them the most was Pat Summerall. Isaac Bruce was...

Good thread with SB teams that could, or should have three-peated. What about SB Champions that could, or should have went back-to-back as champions? A look back ... 1969 Chiefs -- In hindsight, I felt this team should have repeated as champions for 1970, following GB before the Dolphins. They dest...

For what it's worth, the team I had in mind was the 1969 Broncos. Weird that is was the same year and the same league. Here's another team: *had two WRs that led the NFL in receiving yards earlier in their careers *had another WR that would go on to win SB titles with two different teams *had two p...

I was thinking of a different team but the 1969 Bengals would also qualify! Now I wonder how many other teams would qualify other than the one I was thinking of. There is actually sort of an interesting link between the 1969 Bengals and the team I was thinking of. :) I guess the thread should be re...
