  1. With the exception of Montana you don't even have to have a reason. The rest of the states you are an "at-will employee".
  2. Don't think that was it at all. It wasn't any secret that Wilson meddled with the football side which didn't sit well with Saban. Didn't help that Saban had a short fuse when it came to control of the team. Wilson mellowed over the years but that tendency to want to control things never went away entirely. Can you say RJ - Flutie? I think Marv Levy's success was in part due to his ability to assure Wilson and keep him at bay.
  3. Actually he was one season away from the Superbowl. Joe Collier took over as head coach in 66 after Saban resigned. The difference in the team without Saban was rather obvious. Had Saban stayed I think that 1st Superbowl would not have been as one sided as it was.
  4. "The coach told me you're to go work out with the receivers ... Oh ... and take off that red jersey. "
  5. So he throws an interception on a blue field against an opponent wearing blue. Might have a problem playing the Jets.
  6. Lake effect off of lake Ontario compounded by increasing elevation going into the Adirondacks. Lake Ontario is deeper than Erie so it doesn't freeze over making for a longer lake effect season.
  7. Clearly the guy at the top has no future in pizza commercials.
  8. The evidence shows that governments have ignored the financial realities. The economic benefits the the politicians crow about simply don't exist. As far as the politician is concerned that doesn't matter as long as the voters believe it is true. It appeals to emotion which makes it an easy sell.
  9. I am going with the Geno test. Peterman was a rookie in his first start. Geno, on his 24th start, threw 3 picks on 8 attempts with 2 completions in the first 10 minutes (before he was pulled). In contrast, it took Peterman 13 minutes and 40 seconds to throw 3 picks. Guess Peterman needs to work on that. Like Geno, Peterman had 8 attempts and managed to completed 4 of them. To his own players! Oh, and Geno got a whopping 5 yards on his 2 completed passes while Peterman managed 39 yards on his 4 completions. That being said I think both of them will have fine careers in the new XFL.
  10. "The duel threat QB is the wave of the future in the NFL". Been hearing this one since the 60's. Still waiting for it to come true.
  11. Nope. This old fan feels the same. I think the rules have amplified the importance of the QB to the detriment of the game.
  12. You do realize there was no chuck rule until 1977 which allowed the defender to chuck the receiver once. Anywhere. A defensive player could level a receiver anyplace anytime as long as the ball wasn't in the air. It wasn't till 1978 when the chuck rule limited the defender to the first five yards. The rule was only loosely enforced until 2004. Until 1978 offensive linemen were not allowed to extend their arms. That is why you see old pictures of linemen with their elbows out and fists up against their chest. Passing and blocking in the 70's
  13. Is there a rule saying you can't have an 8 year bridge QB?
