The Best of Times (1986, Robin Williams, Kurt Russel) is a football movie but I'm giving it a mention because it is not well known/remembered. If you ever get the chance to see it I would highly recommend you do. Highlights ("favorite scenes") include a viewing of MNF and Kurt Russel... s...

Depends whether or not you classify "The Last Boy Scout" as a "football movie" or not, but the opening was great. Had a whole "Friday Night Football" theme/intro and of course the game action in the rain. The theme/intro was funny because it showed clips from BYU-Texas ...

"When did the CFL last send a player to the NFL that became a star?". One could argue Doug Flutie (he of course was already famous nationwide as a college superstar, lackluster 1st stint in NFL, superstar in the CFL, and much more effective ("star-like") in his return to the NFL...

Opposite of your experience, I see this called frequently and 9/10 times it's laughable. Such as week 2 of preseason this year when "Illegal Blindside Block" was called on a Quarterback. Made me think of the scene in "Remember the Titans" when the coach is yelling for unnecessary...

Gordie Lockbaum of Holy Cross, starred at RB and CB. Was drafted by the Steelers in the 9th round of the 1988 NFL Draft, but I believe he didn't play in the regular season. He did play a few games of Arena Football, though. I believe it wasn't until his Jr. year that he became a two-way player. So ...

Chris Gamble was like Champ Bailey (and Woodson, who played less on offense) but always seems like he's forgotten, despite that they won the national championship. Presumably because Woodson and Champ were both more popular in college and obviously had better NFL careers. But in college, Gamble did ...

PIT wins tonight and keeps CLE from starting a season 2 - 0 for the first time in 30 years (!). They kept that Browns streak alive and also kept their own streak alive of MNF home wins in a row. Also the streak of the Browns not winning in Pittsburgh. A long streak they broke was teams losing the g...

I think it started with the USC-ND game and the Bush Push. Leave it to the NCAA to have a blatant rules violation committed in plain sight, on a play that determines the outcome of the game and eventually the national championship....and nothing happens. Even now, that play is remembered more as a ...
