No overtime in the regular season. A tie is a tie.

That's bending the truth a little. Plenty of states are "right to work" states and it is very easy to fire someone as long as you have even a small reason.
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".

He tied the record for most picks in a first start in half a game. It's going to be on him forever the only thing he can change is the perception of it.
So who did he tie for the most picks?

I always suspected he left because he didn't want to face the pressure of winning the AFL Championship again and going to the Superbowl.
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.

Lou Saban, who only recently was inducted on the WOF, should be considered for the HOF. 1 win away from the 1st superbowl - and who knows what may have happened.
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.

This might make them feel better.
So he throws an interception on a blue field against an opponent wearing blue. Might have a problem playing the Jets.

Copenhagan, NY, north of Syracuse on the Tug Hill Plateau, which a few years ago was the country's snowiest place, holds the New York state record for most snow in a season: 466.9 inches, in 1976-1977.
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.

I think Packers are an odd choice for a Buddhist since Packers were formed as a team for a meat packing plant and he is a vegetarian.
Maybe he thought packers were people that used pack animals.

So yes, Joe Taxpayer picks up part of the tab. But the other side of the equation is how much return on investment there is.
Governments factor that in. If they spend $100 million in infrastructure but earn $300 million in economic benefits over the life of that investment, then it pretty much is worth doing, no?
The evidence shows that governments have ignored the financial realities.
QuoteIndeed, there is little evidence that stadiums provide even local economic benefits. Decades of academic studies consistently find no discernible positive relationship between sports facilities and local economic development, income growth, or job creation.
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.

Is the new test of competent QB play going to be the Peterman test?
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.

"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.

I love watching a brutal defense just stuff another team's offense all day. Even the announcers cry if the game isn't a high scoring affair. Am I the only one that feels this way?
Nope. This old fan feels the same. I think the rules have amplified the importance of the QB to the detriment of the game.

212/210 TD/INT ratio? 51 completion percentage? Yuck. Wouldn't last 2 years in today's NFL.
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
QuoteThe seminal moment that led to the most recent passing explosion came after the New England Patriots bloodied the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship Game in January 2004. Afterward, Colts players complained that officials didn’t call illegal contact penalties on Patriots’ defensive backs, echoing complaints by other teams.
In the offseason, the competition committee instructed referees to emphasize the 5-yard chuck rule, calling jersey grabs and the like to the letter of the law, whether or not they affect the play.
The next year, penalties for illegal contact more than doubled, from 79 in 2003 to 191 in 2004. Sure enough, scoring rose, from 41.66 points per game in 2003 to 42.97 in 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.
