Re: Negro League stats
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 Lea...

Re: 1991-92 World League
Hey Bob! I do have the official stats out of the 1992 and 1995 Record and Fact Books. What I am attempting to do is figure out the stuff from 1992 that wasn't included in the 1995 book. OK, looking at what I have now, the information on both seasons comes from consecutive pages. I guess that means ...

I am attempting to correct the record on certain things, mostly incorrect stats, in-season transactions and ...

Re: Something dumb that you remember about watching the NFL
The issue for me isn't that. It's that I'd seen a lot of football and never hed seen it called before ... maybe you did, but it was something that was a surprise. It meant they were wrong for years and years and that was when they started enforcing it. Right! That's my objection exactly. That was t...

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. Still on the short list of the worst calls I'...

Re: 1971 NFL season discussion
George Allen's first season in Washington. NFL Films did a really good overview of their season that used to be on YouTube. Not sure if it still is. Basically knocked the Rams out of the playoffs on a late Monday Night Football win. I was going to mention Allen too. Besides his arrival, the two thi...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
Coaching? Yeah right Dallas won in spite of Jimmy not because of him Washington players basically coached themselves Parcells played not to lose But they got away with it because this was when basically you just drafted offensive lines by size rather than actual ability This is becoming more and mo...

Re: Most impressive/interesting achievement
In 2006, the Titans were outgained 396-98 but still won thanks to 3 defensive touchdowns (83 and 61 yard interception returns, 92 yard fumble return score) A similar game took place in the American Association in 1940. The Jersey City Giants outgained the Paterson Panthers 293 to 77 and made 17 fir...

Re: 1984 49ers = Overrated
The 1984 49ers IMHO are the most overrated team in NFL history ... But worst of all was their attitude- they seemed emotionless, played with no joy, came off as robots. They somehow made an 18-1 season seem as exciting as a tax return. There’s a reason why the 85 Bears had the same record and becam...
