That's just it ... there difference is an agreed merger rather than teams being absorbed. I don't particularly care one way or another -- not up to me -- but with HOF using them all these years and NFL doing something else ... always found it inconsistent.

Re: Seniors

Emlen Tunnell is listed as a SS by PFR - his pick numbers are off the charts for a SS and I'm not sure if he really played SS or FS or simply covered half the field. Perhaps someone else knows? Tunnell left safety, generally, though played some CB (called defensive HB at the time, as you know). Gia...

AAFC

I think it's a good time to see if NFL would ever reconsider adding in AAFC stats ... of course, these days it does not matter ... Pro Football References uses them and that is the "encyclopedia" these days ... for good or for bad. The HOF always used them ... Cleveland connection, I suppo...

Re: Seniors

If you count up big plays ... INTS, FRs, and so on, Scott made more per 16 games ... Anderson though was the DPOY. With Ken Easley getting in, that opens possibilities. But I don't think we'll see either this Sep-Oct in the seniors' finals. I think Meador will prob. remain, though -- he will be one ...

Re: Seniors

To move onto a different player One player who looks like he could belong in the Hall of Fame based solely off of his resume (and is already in the Hall of Very Good here) is the Dolphins free safety Jake Scott. When I look at his resume, I see five pro bowls, four all pro teams (1972 and 1975 bein...

If anyone has game films, press releases and/or game books from those seasons, please reach out! I am attempting to correct the record on certain things, mostly incorrect stats, in-...

Re: "Equal"s

May be off-topic, but I see Marino and Peyton Manning as equals and I match Montana and Brady

I see Larry Brown and Floyd Little as a "matching set" if you will. Swann and Drew Pearson. Also a lot of OLbers that seem to go together in my mind

Lydell Mitchell and Chuck Foreman

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. yeah, Dallas had a shot. They gave Pittsburgh's defense a run for their mone...
