Re: Was 1977 the most referee-affected season ever?
I actually recently researched the 77 season and how it affected officiating for a chapter of Red, White, and Columbia Blue, which is about the 79 Oilers.

Re: Obscure things remembered about somewhat obscure players
I remember Phillip Epps hopping down the sidelines for several yards for the Packers against the Lions. They used the footage in the Dire Straits Walk of Life video.

Re: If you could enshrine one player into the Hall of Fame..
So many. But here are a few that would be top priority for me. Lionel Taylor -- We all know that he was first to 100 catches in a season but not so many know he had a big impact on the careers of two HOF receivers (Swann and Stallworth), was a key part of that 70s Steelers coaching staff AND was off...
