Re: Modern Candidates HOF Preliminary List
O'Neil wasn't in the preliminary ballot for 2024. Given that he played his last game in 1999, isn't he eligible for the Hall of Very Good? One needs to be out of football for 25 years. They are not eligible in their 25th year. This upcoming year (if I am not mistaken) will have players who last pla...

Re: Teams that didn't play on MNF the entire season but "should" have
1983 Patriots: had a winning record in 1982 and made the playoffs, yet some teams with losing records (Lions, Saints, Giants) played on MNF in 1983 and they didn’t. Of course the 1981 49ers and Bengals didn’t play on MNF, but they had losing records in 1980 and no one thought of them as Super Bowl c...

Re: Sabbatical concept in NFL
A true "sabbatical" is time off you intend to come back from at some point. Believing you are done playing and then being enticed back by financial reality or missing the game/teammates or having few other options is something different. Feels like most of the guys you mention fell into t...

Re: Dumb obscure player trivia
Player #5: I played in the NFL, as did my brother and now my son is playing. I was a tight end in my last year, and is also the position of my son. I also played defensive end, as did my brother. My daughter in law is the second best pal (as player wives) of a famous celebrity, who is dating a teamm...

Re: 1981 Falcons
The loss of Williams but the secondary was worse than before. On offense, Miller and Francis declined as well. The running game wasnt as good as the year before and Bartkowski threw more interceptions. Also the retirement of Rolland Lawrence did hurt them. Rookie Bobby Butler (while a good draft pi...

Re: What happened to Pro Football Archives?
Didn't know it was gone. What a loss. They had things Pro Football Reference didn't. And things Pro Football Database didn't. Hope it is temporary ... it was extremely useful. I agree. It had CFL, WFL, USFL, NFL Europe and even 60's minor league stats. It was one of my favorite research tools. I ho...

Re: Jimmy Graham, 6 catches 4 TDs this year
I would like to know if a similar list can be do for running backs. Off the top of my head I remember when Raiders RB Zack Crockett scored a lot of 1-yard TDs from 2000-2003 with few carries. And of course the 1979 Chargers-Raiders TNF game when Booker Russell scored three 1-yard TDs in his only thr...
