Re: SB Champions That Should Have Repeated

'78 Cowboys were sooo close. If Jackie just hangs onto that pass it might have changed the momentum.
We all remember the '90 49ers were painfully close to registering a three-peat. All they had to do was run out the clock.

Re: Pittsburgh convention photo

Nobody's coming forward. Interesting. He's got a name tag so it's not just a random dude photobombing the PFRA.

Pittsburgh convention photo

OK, I have to know. Who is wearing the Joe Greene jersey in the middle of the group photo? That pose, that expression. Too funny.

Re: Frankie Albert-The First South Paw Quarterback

In 1935 in Canadian pro football, the Winnipeg team's main passing back was a guy named Bob Fritz. He was the coach and captain and he was ambidextrous.

Did he coach with his right and captain with his left? Or vice versa?

Re: Some Odds, Ends, and History

The Sabols did film GOTW shows in '64 but they were called "Play By Play Report". The few I've seen were all silent which suggests they might have had the narration added later by a regional broadcaster. Did Ed Conway do the play-by-play? Was it in color? (All the '64 shows were shot in co...

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Games

Good thing the NFCC was last Sunday instead of today. Atmospheric river hitting bay area has scary wind gusts that would have wreaked havoc with the passing game. Miserable fan experience as well.

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Games

The half time score in 1957 was Niners 24 Lions 7. At halftime today it was 24-7 Lions. The 49ers just tied it up. Just an interesting coincidence.

Re: Chiefs at Raiders-Detail on 1969 Title

In my view, I think Madden started to lose some confidence in Lamonica after that loss in Baltimore. The next year, the Raiders failed to make the playoffs, with Blanda talking up Stabler, who started the opener in 1972. Madden didnt make the switch permanent till 1973, when Davis finally relented....

Re: Super Wild Card Weekend

Heck of a note for Flacco to end his career on. It was fun while it lasted.
