That's No Moon

That's clearly Rosemary Clooney

Agreed. To account for the different number of teams now I suggest using players selected after pick #96 (32 teams x 3 rounds excluding comp picks which are different every year) For example, Johnny Unitas was a 9th round pick but he was pick 102 which is a 3rd round compensatory pick this year but it should be a 4th rounder. In my scenario, Unitas is draftable. Andre Reed was pick #86, which is solidly in the 3rd round now, and is not. QB - Warren Moon (UFA) RB - Terrell Davis (#196) RB - Marion Motley (UFA) WR - Rod Smith (UFA) WR - Harold Carmichael (#161) TE - Antonio Gates (UFA) T - Jason Peters (UFA) T - Joe Jacoby (UFA) C - Mike Webster (#125) G - Brian Waters (UFA) G - Larry Little (UFA) DE - Jared Allen (#126) DE - Clyde Simmons (#233) DT - John Randle (UFA) DT - Pat Williams (UFA) OLB - James Harrison (UFA) MLB - London Fletcher (UFA) OLB - Kevin Greene (#115) CB - Night Train Lane (UFA) CB - Richard Sherman (#154) S - Willie Wood (UFA) S - Donnie Shell (UFA) K - Adam Vinatieri (UFA) P - Shane Lechler (#142)

I get why things like this are fun but they are inherently unfair to the older players. Guys in the 20's didn't even have stats kept. Tackle wasn't the end of the line either, that's what the End was for. There were no wide receivers as we know them so having an End from 1920 in the same column as Randy Moss is inherently unfair. They were asked to do completely different things and, in the modern game, the 1920's end has the job of the modern TE, not the modern WR. I also get why they combined FB and TE (so the number of decades would match up neatly) but it makes you cram players who don't belong together in the same pile and then only letting you pick one. Kellen Winslow and Bronko Nagurski did vastly different things on the football field so it's not even like picking the flavor of TE you want. Nagurski wouldn't be a FB in the modern sense of the word either, he would be a feature back that you happily hand the ball to, not a blocking back who occasionally catches a swing pass. So yeah, in 1930 his position was fullback, but again, that term means a completely different thing now than it did then. On the flip side, if you made the modern linemen play with their hands in and not let them use their hands to block then speed and mobility becomes more paramount. If you did defense there would be similar problems. The top CBs from the 70s and earlier would be flagged every play for holding and interference because that's what the rules allowed. I'm going to work on the assumption that QBs and WRs who were really good in that sort of environment would be much better in the modern game because there would be so much more room to operate. I dunno, have fun with it.

QB - Sammy Baugh - 1940s B - Johnny Blood -1920's FB/TE - Bronko Nagurski - 1930's WR - Raymond Berry - 1950's WR - Paul Warfield - 1960's FL - Calvin Johnson - 2010's T - Johnathan Ogden - 2000's T - Art Shell -1970's G - Larry Allen - 1990's G - Bruce Matthews - 1980's C - Jim Otto - AFL I mean, if you're not going to follow the rules of the exercise, sure why not?

It's really hard to take old linemen because they were just so darned small in comparison. The All-Time defense you would choose would just devour them. For example Walt Keisling was 250lbs as a Guard. George Trafton was 230lbs as a center. Bruiser Kinard was 216(!) as a tackle. I dare anybody to put a 216lb tackle up against Reggie White who was 290lbs and could throw 300+lb men with relative ease.

After poor fan behavior we played a couple games in an empty gym. It was refreshing in the short term. It put the focus on the game rather than the show. After a couple games it got old though and you missed the environment.

I'm well aware of that which is why he will be available on a dirt cheap no commitment deal. If he comes in and plays well he earns more money somewhere else, if he comes in and is done he doesn't make the roster and we lose nothing.

I think they still might but none of those guys will get signed before the draft. I'd love some cheap Lamar Miller action.

Swab the receiver and buttons on that thing and see what grows in a petri dish. You'll have organisms fighting each other for supremacy.

My dad had one that wasn't this fancy for awhile. It was more like the one below. The hospital finally upgraded him to one of these and none of us were allowed to use it. How about this? We went to the one at Summit Park Mall which isn't really a thing anymore either

Is it just me or is he like Bizzaro John Gruden?

Not to mention there are plenty of guys who became good position coaches or coordinators if not necessarily head coaches. Pepper Johnson, Jim Haslett, Herman Edwards, Tony Dungy, Leslie Frazier, Ron Rivera, Mike Munchak, Mike Mularkey, Dan Reeves, Jack Del Rio, Dick Jauron, Jason Garrett, Tom Landry, Art Shell, Jeff Fisher, Todd Bowles, Tom Flores, Doug Pederson, Bill Cowher, Don Shula. I'm sure there are more.

You beat me to it. Duuuuuval Tarp Inc.

Could be worse, there are plenty of kids in here that have no idea what we are talking about.

I was at both as well though I was too young for beer. ? Those were definitely the coldest games I've been to but the worst weather game was a Phoenix Cardinals game a couple years early where it sleeted in sheets that you could see move across the stadium. You got wet right away so you got cold right away and it never got warmer. I remember watching half the game covering the right side of my face the shield it from the wind-driven sleet. Other than falling through ice up to my nipples, that was the coldest I have ever been.

That's the modern equivalent of 122M. Still dirt cheap in comparison.

I'd rather have him than Barkley

He was 4-4 in regular season starts as a Bill. He was also 2-0 in the playoffs. One game was the Houston comeback game, the other was the following week @Three Rivers Stadium where he completed almost 70% of his passes and threw 2TDs in beating the Steelers 24-3 He was a 58.9% passer as a Bill with 18TDs and 12INTs in the regular season. He was a 62.9% passer in the playoffs with 7TDs and 3INTs. He is EXACTLY the kind of guy I am talking about. Someone who can come in and win a game in a pinch and keep a season on track if needed. Barkley hasn't shown himself to be that.

With the way Allen plays and that he's gotten knocked out of games in each of the last two seasons I think who the backup QB is is a pretty important question for a team that fancies itself a contender. Need to have a guy that can come in off the bench and win a game and go .500 or better in a couple starts if needed. I'm not sure Barkley can do either of those things. Quite frankly, the perfect backup QB for this team right now is Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Alex Smith is lucky to have a leg right now. He's not the starter in Washington IF he comes back and nobody else in the league is going to hand him the keys until they see if he can play. Couple that with the fact that the Redskins would have to eat a 32M cap hit if they moved him this year and that next year, when they can get away from him for only an 11M hit, Smith will be 37 years old with a horrendous injury history I think it's likely that he will either be a backup or not in the NFL in 2021.

The Patriots would take him before that.

When the company then asks for a public bailout because they wasted their money? No Sir, I'm a capitalist. Capitalism says they should go out of business.

And when they piss away billions of dollars on stock buybacks to make sure that upper mgt hits their bonus triggering performance targets...

Dr. Girlfriend, Brock Samson, and Dr. Henry Killinger (Venture Brothers). Honestly there are so many secondary characters from that show that are great even though you hardly see them. Shore Leave for example. Also Hunter Gathers and Colonel Gentleman.
