Cris Collinsworth, everybody's favorite analyst, was this week's subject. Actually, Collinsworth is criticized from all sides, for being "critical." Philadelphia's DWFs went into a tirade over Collinsworth's supposed anti-Eagle stance before and during the last Super Bowl. In giving Cris...

At the Pro Football Researchers Association Forum, they're always perplexed by the stupid things current players do. For example, a poster just wondered why with the concern over head injuries, players are always head-butting each other after insignificant plays. They (some are published...

Yawn, nobody gave a flying you know what about his books. He wrote one while in captivity that was published in 1955. Who cared? Nobody.

It was said Rosenberg's book was one of the two most sold and most unread books in the Third Reich. The other was Mein Kampf.

Heller's book was intended to be a satire. Irwin Shaw's "The Young Lions" and Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead" were supposed to be The Great American War Novel. ((Shaw)) and ((Mailer)) painted the WW II US Army as filled with fascists, Shaw in the lower ranks, Mailer higher up. Shaw had...

Rosenberg and his book weren't taken seriously. "They" couldn't care less if someone wasted their time reading anything he wrote.

FWIW white free agents (receivers especially) have displayed a tendency for signing with a team that won't use them very well. Signing for the most money is more important to them than anything.

Brady is 41 this year and age always catches up eventually.

In Prescott's rookie year, there was much exultation over the symbolism of a black QB for "America's Team."

One of the biggest fraudulent terms in contemporary society is "Liberal Compassion."

In 2005, he called himself "Brutal." He seemed to be around my age with some historical knowledge. He was fixated on speed, which while important, is not everything. How about having sure hands? Why do all the players need form-fitting gloves? Or intelligence motivation, attitude, etc? Why...

It used to be the Sport Magazine World Series MVP award. The winner received a new car. In the late 50's, Sport started giving one to the MVP of the NFL Championship game. Sport has long since gone out of business but the award continued. In 2017 it was renamed the Willie Mays Award, supposedly...

I remember Charley Hennigan of the early 60's Houston Oilers, George Blanda's favorite receiver. Hennigan never has been a strong HOF candidate because of the AFL's "weak defenses."

Offhand, the "Sissi Collection," three movies which are available on Blu-Ray. This is a trilogy about a Bavarian princess who married the young Franz Joseph, Emperor of the Hapsburg Empire. Romy Schneider starred in the three West German film in the mid-1950's. They are in German with English...

Jim Taylor was my favorite player of Lombardi's Packers. I saw him play on TV. He had tremendous athleticism. Taylor played in a national high school all star basketball game. At LSU, he placekicked and played defense as well as being an All American RB in 1957. Jim Taylor's NFL rushing...

The Americans, British, and French were willing to release Hess decades before his death, obviously weren't worried about what he would say.The Soviets insisted on keeping Hess at Spandau, due to their typical paranoia. They thought (or pretended to think) Hess was sent in 1941 to ask the...

A few weeks ago it was "There are no films with German good guys." Actually, there are many. Now, Donitz and Hess "were executed at Nuremberg." Donitz was out in 10 years. wrote a self-justifying book, and could say anything he wanted to. Albert Speer was production minister. After his release...

No, they weren't "fabricated." Rosenberg had an administrative post in the East (Generalplan Ost), and a paper trail. He wasn't executed for the book, which was considered a joke.
