Re: Chances the Raiders go 0-16

I think they can win a game, the 2007 Dolphins and the 1980 Saints are examples of teams that won their only victory of the season late on the year.

Re: Have we hit rock bottom with NFL uniforms?

I've never been a fan of the Jaguars uniforms, being old or new. But IMHO the Panthers unis are currently in the top 10, with good fonts and colors.

Re: Hypothetical Coaching Question

George Allen, Bud Grant and Bum Phillips, they got the good players to play great, and the average players to play good.

Re: your favorite absurd football stories

I recall in a Street & Smith magazine interview of Floyd Peters (when he was one of the top Defensive Coordinators in the league) that in training camp in 1958 with the Colts in his rookie year, Weeb Ewbank threatened to fire every player to miss curfew and call every other coach in the league a...
