I hope Josh doesn’t break the fingers of the competition.

Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard was the first African-American NFL player/coach. During his pro football career the two-time Brown University All-America played and sometimes coached for four different NFL teams, the Pros/Indians (1920-21/1925-26), the Milwaukee Badgers (1922), the Hammond Pros (1923, 1925), and the Providence Steam Roller (1925).

When I was a kid I knew the rosters of all 26 teams, but I have not lost interest in the NFL. The negatives (racism, corporate socialism, etc.) have always been there and the players are now financially treated much better. Bread and circuses.

Loose lips sink ships.

Expect to see Brown (a former 8 man All-State tight end) report in as eligible as did Doyle on Saturday. The former power forward can post up or run away from a DB.

Which is our bigger home field advantage, our weather or our strategic crowd noise? I’m resigned to an OA in OP, but imagine the Bills Mafia jamming communications under an echoing dome! The best stadium I’ve ever been in is in Minneapolis.

He could get a State Farm commercial for any or all players.

Yet, except for the Indy game, we haven’t had a true blizzard on a football Sunday afternoon in recent memory. Even when the Jets game was moved to Detroit, the blizzard had already ended by game time.

The corrolary to that rule for the serious fan is to abstain or take contraceptive action as necessary in order to avoid delivery during the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Butch Byrd: "Jim Brown was the great back during that era, but I have often said that I thought Cookie was every bit as good as Jim Brown. The Buffalo Bills weren’t the team that the Cleveland Browns were at that time, but taking nothing away from Jim Brown, man for man, talent for talent, Cookie was right there.” To which Gilchrist once wholeheartedly agreed. “I told Jim Brown to his face that if I had stayed with the Browns nobody would have heard of him,” he said.

If they’ll bring the Buffalo pies, we’ll have the tables.

Marino’s one dimensional Dolphins were good - but not good enough to win a Super Bowl. We need to run the ball more. We need to let the O line push forward instead of getting pushed back all the time in pass protection.

About 20% of predictions on the HuskerMax message board favor the Bulls.

I’m old enough to remember charcoal grills inside the Rockpile.

If Fitz had stayed we wouldn’t have had to watch Orton.
