There used to be a B/W video of the play on YouTube but it's apparently taken down. Here's a link to a 17-minute video of the game which might have it - I haven't watched it yet. Yes, the pass that hits the post is there, and it's shown twice -- actually three times, but the third is a black-and-wh...

You dog. I am SO gullible... No wonder I'd never heard that before... *Hangs head in shame* Now I'm trashing your trivia book because I don't know if I can trust the answers. Well, there might be a wrong answer in there somewhere, but if so, it's not intentional. I guess I needed to use one of thos...

I didn't know that.

One "doink" different and it's a whole other outcome...

That WAS just a joke ...

True, but on the plus side it did have the extra point that hit the crossbar and bounced over, which I'd never seen.

(And considering the game was won by a one point margin you have to consider that that decision may've cost Washington the Championship.) On top of that, a day before the game the Rams suggested moving the goal posts back to the end line. But the Redskins said it would be too much trouble, and besi...

Similar to the collapse of the 1986 Jets, though the Eagles were a defending conference champion Off the top of my head, I'd say the best comparison here is with the 1981 Eagles, as was recently mentioned on this forum (by 74_75_78..., I believe). That team was also coming off a Super Bowl loss; th...

I would argue that Pigskin: The Early Years of Pro Football by Robert W. Peterson might be a good replacement for Christl's team-specific Packers book. Also, I have run into multiple errors related to the Minneapolis Marines and the Rock Island Independents in a couple of chapters in The Sunday Gam...

During the Chiefs' game the other day, the announcers brought up something we've probably all seen by now: that Mahomes has never played a road game in the playoffs. They did admit that his three Super Bowl appearances were not HOME games; but since they were played at neutral sites, they still were...

Howzabout Mike Vrabel? Sure, he was a LB, but look at his stats: Regular Season----10 receptions, 10 TDs Playoffs------------ 2 receptions, 2 TDs The guy had a dozen catches and each and every one of them was for six points . Good one! Here's another good one, this time in a minor league -- but a v...

I remember one case specifically: In 1977 Christmas came on a Sunday, and the first round of playoffs took place that weekend. Two games were played on Saturday, the 24th, and two more on Monday, the 26th. None on the 25th.
