That's as good a moon walk route as I've seen run. The downside of running the route is that the receiver may wear only one glove.

Why would the Panthers trade to jump ahead of the Bills? Presumably they were afraid the Bills would take their guy Legette.

Going for quantity (picks) over quality?

Can't blame him. What could possibly go wrong.

Nothing could be worse than the Broncos' infamous "Milk Duds" uniforms of the early '60s. Plus dig the vertical striped socks

I voted Front Office but I'd really liked to have been a player but then I don't want to be a physical wreck by age 40. Those guys really do sacrifice their bodies. Remember Eral Campbell, the Oilers' monster running back? He ran over not around people. I don't think he was ever seriously injured in his playing days but by age 45 he was a physical wreck. He uses a wheelchair now.

Thanks for the Year of the Rams video. It brings back memories. I was a Colts fan (Baltimore, that is) and those Colts-Rams games were titanic. The Rams had the best D line in the league: The "Fearsome Foursome": Roger Brown, Lamar Lundy, Merlin Olsen (HOF), and Deacon Jones (HOF).

This makes it even more puzzling as to why the Bills would make him a first round draft pick. I admit that I'm a McDermott homie but I'll bet Beane would not have drafted him in the 1st without strong McD support.

A hell of a running back but a deeply flawed human being. He's number 8 on the list of most rushing yards in a season but all the guys above him did it in 16 games. He ran for 2003 yards in 14 games. For comparison, Eric Dickerson holds the rushing title at 2105 yards in 16 games. That's an average of about 130 yards per game. Very good but OJ's average was 143 yards per game. And he did it on a mediocre team when the D knew they'd hand the ball to him. Props to his O line -- the Electric Company -- because they would turn on the Juice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Company_(football)

The guy does well in straight man coverage but he screws up in zone and when he has to make adjustments. Maybe he'll eventually learn but at this point he'd only have value to a team that plays straight man as a base D. This is the NFL so I doubt there are any teams that do that. He wasn't a first round pick. What mystifies me is why his shortcomings weren't apparent from film or scouting. Any thoughts?

In other news the Washington Redskins announced today that they are changing their name to the Washington Commanders.

and it must be in the 4th quarter and tried by the trailing team.

But it's only greed when the other guy does it.
