Re: 2024 Hall of Very Good Nominations

I remember being on a new forum maybe 20 years ago and the most controversial topic was how the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a joke until Damon Allen gets inducted. After making a dozen or so posts about why Allen does not belong in the PFHOF, I bowed out of being an active member of that forum. Peo...

A lot of the "official" record is frankly bullshit.
Although the NFL and some people in this forum pretend otherwise, the 1946-1995 Browns and Ravens are the same franchise. The 1999 to current Browns is a different franchise. That is reality.

Re: Negro League stats

I agree. I find this strange for a number of reasons. I don't have time now to get into my larger concern but I do have time for a lesser concern. I thought this was done already. The Negro League stats were added to Baseball Reference two years ago I thought or maybe it was last year. Also, MLB doe...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL

The Oilers changing their name to the Titans. I get Bud Adams trying to create a new image and identity for the fans in Nashville and TN, but ... a) You don't get rid of a name with a history, including the first two AFL champions and b) You damn sure don't adapt another AFL team name from a team t...

Re: Most impressive/interesting achievement

Joe Namaths overall statline vs the Colts over 2 games in 1972 20 completions on 44 attempts...724 yards 8 touchdowns I would have posted this same thing which I suppose I am doing right now. 20 completions for 724 yards. That seems impossible outside of playing a football video game. Also, the Jet...

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?

Good call on McCarthy, RC ... Meanwhile, Atlanta has had an interesting off-season, turning down Belichick for Morris, giving a bunch of money to Cousins, who now has to win games while mentoring the #8th overall pick in the draft in QB Penix ...

Re: Obscure trivia

Here's another... Two of the HCs who I played for in my career are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The very first HC whom I played for would go on to muster a career total W-L %age at just above-300. The first 2 TDs that I'd throw in my second-last season would be in a game against the team that'...
