Drew Brees ended up 44 yards short of breaking Norm Van Brocklin's record for yards passing in a single game. A few years ago, Brees broke Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a TD pass.

And "fixed" games would require enormous payoffs, which means it wouldn't be profitable.

Why didn't the NFL "script" last year's Super Bowl for a Seattle victory? Since posters are always harping on how bad NFL defenders are, why should it be surprising they would give up a Hail Mary TD?

The NFL Network came up with their Top 10 Dynasties. Some idiot talking heads on the show. 1. Lombardi's Packers 2. 70's Steelers 3. Walsh's 49ers 4. 21st Century Patriots 5. 90's Cowboys 6. 50's Browns (some complaints about a 50's team being listed) 7. 70's Dolphins 8. 90's Bills 9. 70's...

Why didn't the Fixers make sure the Seahawks won last year's Super Bowl?

If Aaron Rodgers said publicly that he reads the Caste Football Site and is in basic (or even partial) agreement with it, he would be cut the next day and no one would sign him. And as some of us have pointed out over the years, white athletes who do well and make big money believe things are...

In childhood, I used to see Yogi Berra play on TV every weekend on what was then the Game of The Week in addition to the Yankees being in the World Series almost every year. And in those days the World Series was THE sports event of the year. I still remember Yogi Berra's three run homer...

Well said. By the way, my ancestors were from Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England, 17th and 18th Century American pioneers.

Black folks and their white enablers have no sense of irony.

Remember how most of the "experts" were confident Griffin was better than Luck?

In the late 1970's, the NBA was plagued by low ratings on network TV. It wasn't unusual for black players at the time to say they were glad to see Larry Bird come in the league.

Not exactly the same type incident, but Clint Longley sucker punched Roger Staubach during Cowboy training camp in 1976. Longley was Staubach's backup QB and the two argued over a play and Staubach gave Longley a beating. The next day Longley sucker punched Staubach in the locker room, injuring...

Yes, that's how it was during Frank Gifford's peak years as a player.

Frank Gifford died today, age 84.

In the 1960's you would always hear, "Jack Nicklaus is a greater golfer than Arnold Palmer ever was, but he doesn't have Arnie's charisma." And Arnold Palmer supposedly "transcended golf" and made it more popular. Jack Nicklaus was disliked by some for displacing Arnold Palmer as golf's best...

Don, Thanks for mentioning Ken Stabler. Most of the posters probably know little about him. Regarding the HOF, Paul Zimmerman (Doctor Z) swore Stabler would go in the Hall over his dead body. Zimmerman had a stroke a few years ago and is out of it now. I was looking over the internet and...

Yes, Jack Nicklaus changed his appearance (but not his demeanor) well before he was 40.

This thread is 10 years old, but Bryce Harper's hitting has reminded me of Mickey Mantle. As Don wrote above, Mantle was "the last All-American white sports star superhero." Tom Brady (even before the "deflate" affair) and Peyton Manning were roundly disliked by many if not most "fans."...

Media types were asking Favre "When are you going to retire," when he was 35.

At Cold Hard Football Facts, they have been dismissive of the whole thing. Strangely, CHFF just put out an article starting off with "Brady should be punished," but went on the say the Wells report indicated the Colts were also playing with deflated footballs. CHFF finished by saying the...

And tomorrow (Wednesday) they are playing in the afternoon with no fans admitted. The black-run city can't (won't) give protection. This weekend's series has been moved to Tampa Bay for the same reason.

Well, Bruce Jenner has shown how a (former) famous white athlete can become a "hero."

There already was a thread on this subject.

For over 40 years the way for a white athlete to be popular with the press was to be a "free spirit" or as in this case a "fun-loving lovable goofball" or something in that vein. Tonight the Duke basketball team may have fans they never had before. Why? The makeup of their opponent along with...

Tonight the NFL Network begins a new season of Caught In The Draft with 1965. It details the war for players between the leagues, Butkus and Sayers along with Joe Namath are featured. Hopefully more.
