Purdy's draft position
OK, Purdy was the last player drafted; that seems clear. But on the game last night I believe they said he was the 262nd player taken, and I can't figure out how that would work. I thought the draft was seven rounds, for 32 teams, so that's 224 players in a given year. Or if it's eight rounds, that ...

Re: Semi-Pros in the Super Bowl
I would find it interesting to know, of the stated players and coaches, who went in what direction. Who played Semi-Pro or Minor League ball before making it to the Super Bowl and who did so later. I would imagine older ex-NFL players "going down" to the Minors might be more common than a...

Re: Semi-Pros in the Super Bowl
Yes! I should've said that myself.

Re: Semi-Pros in the Super Bowl
Brad Johnson played in the World League of American Football -- or maybe it was called NFL Europe by then. Whichever.

Re: 1991 Eagles in Detail
Odd pairing, all things considered. For a minute I thought you had shifted gears and were talking about the Chiefs for some reason.Brian wolf wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 3:01 pm Swift could be leaving along with Kelce. Would Moore try to bring in Elliot from NE as another red zone option?

Re: NFL's Most Influential Teams
So Friedman's prowess with the forward pass, wasnt attracting attention, or was then --but not documented properly, or remembered? He he even wrote a book ... Yeah, it's too bad for his legacy that they didn't keep stats in those days. If they had, he would've been chosen for the Hall of Fame in th...

Re: NFL's Most Influential Teams
Wouldnt the 1929 NY Giants be highly influential with Benny Friedman throwing for 20 TDs, or was it done before, without any official records being printed? No stats in those days. I don't think anybody knew how many touchdown passes Friedman threw until the late 1970s when David Neft compiled what...

Re: Bronko Nagurski statistics in 1930 and 1931
Sorry, Bob, missed this last month. Yes, it was from the Tribune if I recall correctly. They seemed to show stats for the Bears every now and then, but unfortunately I never saw a further update after their final game of the season Neft didn't find one either. His stats show one "incomplete&qu...

Re: 1945 Championship
There used to be a B/W video of the play on YouTube but it's apparently taken down. Here's a link to a 17-minute video of the game which might have it - I haven't watched it yet. Yes, the pass that hits the post is there, and it's shown twice -- actually three times, but the third is a black-and-wh...
