Re: Worst draft classes for a team
1967 Falcons, coming off an expansion year, had NO ONE from their draft make the team. Shortly before the draft the Falcons traded their #1 pick (number 3 overall) to the 49ers for three players. The best of these players was WR Bernie Casey. I am guessing that Casey made it clear he wouldn't repor...

Re: Best Teams To Miss The Playoffs
Oh, and if we're just talking about teams from after the merger in 1970, I might vote for the 1979 Redskins. I think they would have been the NFC's top seed for the playoffs if not for that one-point to Dallas in the final game. I thought that also until a few years ago when I really dug in and res...

Re: PFRA members invited: Bronko Nagurski Museum presentation
Is this date correct? That would have been last month.

Re: What's the biggest football moment you witnessed in person?
I remember Don Majkowski wore #5 (Paul Hornung's number) in that game. He was usually #7, but he wore 5 that day. Was kind of neat to see. I don't know if he or the team was honoring Hornung that day, but he wore #5. That's the number he was issued. It was changed after one season. Hornung's number...

Re: Roger Craig
I recently watched an interview with Montana who said "None of us can believe that Roger Craig isn't in the HOF. We just don't understand it." That's likely not an exact quote, but that's pretty much what he said in very clear terms. He's another one of those guys - if you were watching fo...

Re: What's the biggest football moment you witnessed in person?
I've only gotten to go to a few NFL games in person. Of those, the most historical was a Broncos/Packers tie game in Milwaukee in 1987. Players strike started the next day - after the Monday night game. For some reason, I remember Don Majkowski wore #5 (Paul Hornung's number) in that game. He was us...

Re: Michael Strahan- Did he only make the HOF because of his storybook ending?
Strahan, IMHO, looked like a HOF caliber player throughout his career. While I think a few inductees have been bolstered by being in the media, I think Strahan would have likely made the HOF even if he had done something else after football.

Re: 1968 NFL/AFL radio summary
This is fantastic - thank you for posting this difficult to find information. The $55 million total for both college and pro rights equates to about $400 million in today's economy (according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics). Each individual NFL team makes about that amount in media deals now: htt...

Re: Seniors
I could see why having your prime years split between three different teams hurts; especially before free agency. You mention retired numbers, well in Jackson's case in particular, he played some prime years for the Rams, and wore number 29. A number that has since been retired for Eric Dickerson. ...
