  1. So, Cigarette Smoking man died -- or did he? The Truth is out there!
  2. If he's that good some NFL team will sign him. In the meantime he needs to file the appropriate forms with the federal department of "Is this where I go to get my reputation back?"
  3. It's a "football" helmet; that is, a helmet made from a football.
  4. I am old but not that old. I have only seen Motley on film, not in person. I do remember seeing the Colts' HB Buddy Young beat a race horse in a 50 yard dash! I think it was a Colts' preseason game in the 1950s. Here's an interesting question: Who broke the color barrier in professional sports? Not Jackie Robinson. Several black players played in the NFL (including Motley and Woody Strode who played the black gladiator in Spartacus (1960) before Robinson broke the color barrier in professional baseball. Then there is Fritz Pollard who beoke the NFL color barrier before there was a color barrier. He was one of the first black RBs and the first black head coach, both in 1921.
  5. Sanders was a delight to watch. He could cut on a dime and leave you 9 cents. Marion Motley was Jim Brown before Jim Brown was Jim Brown. OJ, Cookie, Thurman -- all excellent in their different ways.
  6. Traditional is a no-brainer for Buffalo. It's a blue-collar Joe Six-pack town. Can you see the Bills in Seattle neon green?
  7. It's pretty shrewd. Denying the Jets an OT, makes them easier for the Patriots to play.
  8. Now, now, simmer down young wippersnapper. Imagine: imaginary numbers. I do remember Jim Otto, the Raiders' center
  9. The linemen will have alot of Henry's cleat marks up their backs.
  10. He was a significant reason that Hank's team was able to matriculate the ball down the field.
  11. Oliver os a three technique DT. Daquan Jones is a one technique DT. They are not interchangeable. These links give an overview of their different roles. https://www.pff.com/news/defensive-prototypes-1-technique https://www.pff.com/news/defensive-prototypes-3-technique Keep in mind that Oliver played hurt for much of this year.
  12. King Henry: Great back. We can't afford him. End of discussion.
  13. If you listen to the podcast, the caster gives a well reasoned and nuanced evaluation of Dorsey's season. In other words, he's out of touch with this board. Seriously, the stats he quotes show that Dorsey did as well as Daboll the previous year and Dorsey had to deal with a wounded Josh.
  14. Don't forget the Bisons' Luke Easter and his Easter Eggs over the scoreboard at Offermann Stadium Some of his homeruns still haven't come down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Easter_(baseball)
  15. Dan Marino played for 17 years. He went to the Superbowl in his 2d year and lost. He never returned.
  16. It's a bad case of disappointed expectations. During the drought people expected the team to lose so when they did, expectations were fulfilled. This year, people expected the Superbowl. When that didn't happen people were left disappointed and angry. This, too, shall pass.
