After 'N' a w l i n s'' game this last Sunday, Saints QB/WR/TE/RB Taysom Hill has accomplished something that only two other players in the history of the N.F.L.

Re: Jets-VS-Giants history
My favorite game in the rivalry was 1974 Week #9 at the Yale Bowl. Namath scored the game-tying TD on a 3-yard keeper (bad knees and all!) late in the 4th quarter) then won it with a 5-yard toss to Emerson Boozer in OT. I believe it was the first overtime game for both franchises. If I recall corre...

Re: How will Belichick's final chapter be written?
Belichick presided over a true franchise renaissance (and a never-ending nightmare for Jets fans). It's been a nightmare for Browns fans too. What might have been. 1995 was a disaster, BB had the team improving each year at least a little bit before the Armageddon of 1995. I bet Modell wished he ha...

Re: Players who were what their team's nickname was
Lone Star Dietz was their HC back in the early days. He was an Indian (Redskin) I recall hearing the team was named in honor of him. Wonder how that factored into the name change saga, if it did whatsoever? Wouldn't surprise me if no parties involved even knew. My understanding is the team was orig...

Re: Players who were what their team's nickname was
49ers punter Jim McCann was born in 1949, as I imagine a few of his teammates were. The actor Ed O'Neill worked in a steel mill before being signed as a free agent by the Steelers (he never played for them). If any players of native descent played for Washington, I haven't been able to find them. I...

PS - Cali! Throw me that book name! Yes, I'm the King of procrastinating when it comes to getting and/or actually reading books! But throw me the title anyway. Thanks! I will. I looked for it earlier today and think I know which one it was, but I want to make sure that quote I referenced is in it. ...

Re: More struggle-some, Belichick w Browns or he thus far post-Brady?
Talking about being "not too far off" last year, the same can be said in each of his first three seasons with Cleveland. They were, FWIW, in-range but faltered in December each and every time. And he did win a playoff game for the Browns, and vs Parcells to boot! So I guess that would giv...
