Re: Mahomes, going into SBLVIII today, what HOF QBs has he already 'passed'??
I agree the game is different and I am one of the first guys to say things like, "What about Otto Graham/Bart Starr/Johnny Unitas" when people start raving about current quarterbacks. I've been watching since the late 70s. I saw the back half of the Steelers dynasty. I watched Montana's e...

Re: Andy Reid vs Tom Landry vs Don Shula
Reid is being underrated here fairly significantly. I said before the game the Chiefs would win and they would outcoach the 49ers. They outcoached the 49ers the last time, outcoached the Eagles, outcoached the 49ers again. I am very impressed by that. Above Landry, no question about it. Shula in th...

Re: Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2024 talk
Does Art Powell not getting in break a streak? Who was the last Senior Finalist not to get in before this? Thanks. Dick Stanfel in 2012 Stanfel was chosen again by the Senior Committee a few years later, after he died. He made the HOF that time. Paul Tagliabue was the last coach/contributor to not ...

Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail
Thanks Leonard ... yeah, it seemed like once the 49ers handed it to Philly this year, the Eagles lost some swagger as Dallas pounded them next. The defense just couldnt keep any momentum from the 10-1 start and without a better pass rush, left the secondary exposed, which even the Seahawks, with Dr...

Re: Cunningham in top Dozen
Healthy pre-injury Randall Cunningham was one of the top dozen unstoppable players I've seen on pretty much any team. There's a reason why they called him "The Ultimate Weapon." He was great.

Re: The end of dynasties in the NFC?
I've blogged about this a few times - it's more the domination of QBs. Going back to the year 2000 or so, you'd be hard pressed to find an NFC Championship Game without McNabb, Rogers, Manning, Wilson, Brees, Garrapollo, Goff, and now Purdy. There may have been one or two. So that's what - 8 QBs in ...

Re: 2023 Conference Championship Games
From the perspective of this dinosaur, analytics is usurping common sense in sports. That's why Campbell went for it on those two 4th downs instead of attempting the FG. Among other things analytics has given us are entire lineups filled with guys hitting 18 home runs with 156 K. I gave up on baseb...

Re: Football insurance?
The first player I know of that was insured was Davey O'Brien by Bert Bell through Lloyd's of London. That is per Upton Bell, Bert Bell's son. There may have been somebody before that, but Upton has always insisted that was a first.
