    A Football Life-Season Four

    The Roger Staubach and the Butkus & Sayers shows premiere on the NFL Network tonight. Last month Staubach said Johnny Manziel is a lot like him, a QB who runs well. Roger Staubach is one of many examples of the "athletic quarterback" who has long existed. Staubach learned to operate from the...

    I repeat, did Decker bother to consider who would be throwing to him when he signed with the Jets? Did he have the notion the New York Press Corp would love him unconditionally?

    A Football Life-Season Four

    On Friday night, December 5, the NFL Network will premiere an episode on Roger Staubach, followed by a single show on Butkus and Sayers. I don't know if they will make the point, but Staubach was The Man on the Cowboys, more so than a QB usually is. The Cowboy veterans always said the Cowboys...

    I wonder if Decker considered who his QB would be when he signed with the Jets.

    If Brown had been white or Wilson black, nobody would have heard of the incident outside St. Louis County, where it would have been a one-day story.

    Ferguson

    Don, A cop is always fighting one-handed due to having to protect his gun. Especially a 300-pounder reaching into his car. Street thugs know or are taught this.

    Ferguson

    I once tried to explain to a group of blacks why scientific DNA evidence proved O.J. Simpson's guilt beyond all doubt. It didn't exactly convince them. However, Marcia Clark wrote in her book that when the prosecution put on the DNA evidence, the black jurors seemed to get angrier and angrier...

    A nickleback can be classified as a safety. He's in there for extra coverage. In 1979, the Rams frequently had Eddie Brown in for extra coverage. Cromwell was the starting free safety.

    So what is your point? I said Cromwell never played CB. BTW, I just checked the 1978 and 1979 Complete Handbook of Pro Football and Nolan Cromwell is listed at safety on the Ram rosters. In Cromwell's first two seasons, 1977-78, he was an extra DB on passing downs and backed up Bill Simpson at...

    Nolan Cromwell was also a world class hurdler at Kansas in the 400 meter hurdles.

    Nolan Cromwell never played CB for the Rams. He was a wishbone QB at Kansas and was a reserve safety his first two years in LA, 1977-78. He became a starting FS in 1979.

    Tom Brady is married to super model Giselle Bundchen and has two children with her. This didn't keep a poster from declaring "I've seen Tom Brady throw games" after a Patriot playoff loss.

    Guess who this well-known white athlete is: "He is an articulate and magnanimous ambassador for his sport. He holds liberal political views, regards the lack of women in politics as scandalous and shames racists and homophobes all over the world." The above comes from an internet sport site.

    Par for the course. A few years ago, a poster declaimed "I've seen Tom Brady throw games."

    Larry Csonka was always a media favorite. He is an articulate interview subject. Next week's show features Lyle Alzado, who is now forgotten, except for his steroid use. Medical opinion is the brain cancer that killed him may not have been due to steroids. In 1979, Alzado announced he would...

    Collinsworth has been playing variations on this theme since his rookie year with the Bengals in 1981. I made a post on this several years ago. He loved to joke about being a rare white wide receiver. In a 1981 Sports Illustrated article, Collinsworth joked about being "the lone honkey" in a...
