Re: Dumb obscure player trivia

Player #5: I played in the NFL, as did my brother and now my son is playing. I was a tight end in my last year, and is also the position of my son. I also played defensive end, as did my brother. My daughter in law is the second best pal (as player wives) of a famous celebrity, who is dating a teamm...

Re: 1981 Falcons

The loss of Williams but the secondary was worse than before. On offense, Miller and Francis declined as well. The running game wasnt as good as the year before and Bartkowski threw more interceptions. Also the retirement of Rolland Lawrence did hurt them. Rookie Bobby Butler (while a good draft pi...

I think you have to add Devon Witherspoon to the mix.

Re: What happened to Pro Football Archives?

Didn't know it was gone. What a loss. They had things Pro Football Reference didn't. And things Pro Football Database didn't. Hope it is temporary ... it was extremely useful. I agree. It had CFL, WFL, USFL, NFL Europe and even 60's minor league stats. It was one of my favorite research tools. I ho...

Re: Jimmy Graham, 6 catches 4 TDs this year

I would like to know if a similar list can be do for running backs. Off the top of my head I remember when Raiders RB Zack Crockett scored a lot of 1-yard TDs from 2000-2003 with few carries. And of course the 1979 Chargers-Raiders TNF game when Booker Russell scored three 1-yard TDs in his only thr...

Re: Do non-CFP bowls matter?

In 1984 as a junior-high school student, I won a second-place prize in the lottery here in Mexico predicting 13 bowl games (I believe there were back then only 14 or 15). There were three options: Team A won by 7 or more points, Team B won by 7 or more points, and the third option was a difference o...

Re: WRs who could/should have won MVP

In 1984 I thought Roy Green should have gotten consideration if the Cardinals had won their last game at Washington and made the playoffs,

I believe that O'Donoghue missed the shortest FG possible, as the ball was placed at the Giants 1-yard line. That 20-20 tie was considered for many years as the worst FG MNF game ever.
