Anyone looking for McDermott to get fired will have to hold their breath. He will get another season after this year. Whether you like it or not making the playoffs 5 of 6, likely now 7, earns you that.
It was a completely different league. Should they recognize USFL and XFL as well?
I think the NFL does a good job of recognizing the history of the AFL and its impact on the development of what the NFL is now, but there is no reason to recognize the championships.
At the very least it would have kept me from having to watch Ty Johnson try to prove kick returns are still part of football. I cant take watching the guy take the ball out from the endzone anymore.
