Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?

I'm too lazy to do a Top 10 list. I'll do a Top 1 list:

Best: 1962 Packers
Worst: 1966 Giants

But man, I just looked up the Bucs' first 2 seasons. Forgot how truly terrible they were. They were shut out in 11 of their first 26 games. Brutal.

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: '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,...
