Layne/Rote was good, for as long as it lasted (which wasn't long).

Re: 1959 Packers

Thanks for the tip. Somebody put out a book years back that contained contemporaneous scouting reports of current and prospective Packers from that era. Nitschke was such a handful that they were just dying for an excuse to get rid of him. It's fun to read how little scouts sugar-coated their repor...

Re: Pittsburgh convention photo

I dunno. That ain't so bad. You oughta see my driver's license photo. Got a bad case of pillow hair, one eye's half-closed, and overall looks like I've just been shocked with a cattle prod.

Re: Bates' UFL field goal

I once saw my dad kick my brother in the ass after he came home with a dent in his brand new Dodge. I swear he sailed at least 60 yards.

However, with four knucklehead sons, it wasn't my dad's first kick.

Re: '58 Browns, and hypo they-vs-Colts NFLCG

I haven't got time to look it up, but in the real 1958 title game, the Colts had a chance to blow it wide open, 21-3, but I think they ran Ameche on a fourth down from the 1-yd line and he got smothered on what was supposed to be an option pass. Why anybody thought that was a good idea is beyond me,...

Re: '58 Browns, and hypo they-vs-Colts NFLCG

A hypothetical Colts-Browns 1958 NFLCG is one I've often thought about. I think the Colts would have won, probably a close game but Unitas would give them the edge. The Browns could have won. The next year they played in Baltimore with the Browns winning 38-31. The Browns led 31-17 at the end of th...

Re: '58 Browns, and hypo they-vs-Colts NFLCG

Well, with the immortal Milt Plum at the helm vs. Johnny U & Co. in their prime, I figure the final score would be something like Colts 35-7. Here's Milt's composite postseason numbers from 1957 (lost 59-14 to Detroit) and '58 (lost to NYG 10-0): 12-24, 134 yards, 4 picks, 0 TD, 27.4 QB rating. ...
