I don't think Curtis was a better MLB than Lambert. In some respects, I think Lambert is underrated. His best years were after the heydey of the Steel Curtain, yet one perception is that Lambert was a product of Joe Greene's and Ernie Holmes' greatness. Watching Lambert play, his best quality IMO wa...

If we eliminate the Lions, I think a 1952 title game between the Browns and Rams would have been interesting. Third consecutive title game matchup, with the previous two games being very good in quality. 4th consecutive title game for the Rams and 8th consecutive title game for the Browns. The Brown...

Correct!

I thought Alvin Reed or Willie Frazier. Kocourek was pretty consistent and had a monster year in the early part of the decade. I was surprised at how good his numbers looked, as well as the length of his career.

I get your point, but I think there is a difference between talking about a good HS team and one of the best HS teams in history. I would expect the best HS teams to have the best players. Here's De La Salle's roster from 2003 when they were once again 'National Champions' (counting all 'selectors'...

From everyone's favorite site: Wikipedia An interesting number is his percentage of catches for a Touchdown: more than 17% Jerry Rice, for example, is just a tad over 13% So, given all this data, it seems Fred Arbanas was pretty darn good. Mike Vrabel's percentage of catches for a Touchdown is 100%...

I wouldn't say those teams were overrated, football is a team sport, you can see good HS teams have no players get offers from D1(FBS) schools while an average HS team can have 2-3 guys. Same then with college to NFL, it doesn't make the college players/teams less talented (for that level of footba...

Don't really know how to post videos on this new forum. Hadn't seen this one yet...footage of Herber, Hutson, and McNally.

The NFL doesn't know what to do about Extra Points and Kickoffs. My thought on this draws a bit from rugby...the scoring team can elect to kick the Extra Point from anywhere on the field, and the spot of the Extra Point kick will also be the spot used for the ensuing kickoff to the other team. So a ...

I have an old Sporting News book from the late 80's which lists the alleged 25 greatest college football teams of all-time. Its an interesting book with a ton of information, even if the rankings are kind of weird (Jimmy Johnson's 1986-1987 Miami Hurricanes teams are ranked behind the 1976 Tony Dors...

The Rams were a good team from 1949 through 1955 (some call them a dynasty), but did not have as good a defense as Detroit, even though they had great pass rushers Larry Brink and Andy Robustelli. The Rams could score points with their great offense (Waterfield, Van Brocklin, Hirsch, Fears, Boyd, T...
