Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?
Apparently Hadl hurt his arm halfway through and the passing really fell off, * True, he hurt his back ... and it affected his throwing I read that John Hadl and some other Rams were pushing a car when Hadl hurt his back causing his performance to fall off considerably the second half of the 1973 s...

Re: Seniors
As for Meador and Cromwell, I see what you mean when you imply that Meador would look like a better career on paper as he has two more pro bowls. But Cromwell's accolades (which include three first team all pros in addition to four pro bowls) might be a tad more impressive because he played his ent...

Re: '58 Browns, and hypo they-vs-Colts NFLCG
A hypothetical Colts-Browns 1958 NFLCG is one I've often thought about. I think the Colts would have won, probably a close game but Unitas would give them the edge. The Browns could have won. The next year they played in Baltimore with the Browns winning 38-31. The Browns led 31-17 at the end of the...

Re: 1973 Raiders
In the 1974 Sports Illustrated Pro Football Preview, the Letter from the Publisher told readers Tex Maule was leaving his job as main pro football writer and being succeeded by Dan Jenkins who left his spot as college football writer. Both made predictions for the 1974 season. Dan Jenkins called the...

Re: Freezer Bowl
2) That game was one of the very few where the same team kicked off to start both halves. Instead of electing to kick or receive the opening kickoff, Sam Wyche elected to have the wind with him to start the game. San Diego then elected to get the ball for the second half kickoff, with the same wind...

Re: JOE NAMATH vs LEN DAWSON
I remember around 1969 reading that Joe Namath referred to Len Dawson as an "NFL Style Quarterback." This supposedly meant throwing a lot of short passes to the backs and other receivers resulting in a high completion percentage. Namath threw downfield and claimed not to care about his per...
