Tonight (Friday) the NFL Network premieres the "Top 10 Quarterbacks of the 70s" at 10pm ET. It repeats several times Saturday and Sunday. The promo reads: "From 'Snake' Stabler to Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw, a countdown of the best field generals of the 70's"

Former LB Chris Spielman is the subject of tonight's (Wednesday) episode, running the rest of the week. Next week is an all-time favorite: Jimmy Johnson.

On Tuesday night, ESPN showed "Ghosts of Ole Miss" on "30 for 30." It covers the 1962 James Meredith integration riots but also the undefeated (all white) Ole Miss football team. Pretty much the usual White Guilt theme, but several football clips of the 1962 team along with interviews of several...

Thanks for your input. A lot of the posters on this Forum are inclined to wishful thinking.

The 1998 National Championship team had only two white starters, both offensive linemen. Freshman DE Will Overstreet played a fair amount as a reserve and was a starter the next year. Will Overstreet played two years (2002-2003) for the Atlanta Falcons after being a 3rd round draft choice. He...

The Big Orange fans want Jon Gruden to be the next head coach.

Thank you for posting. I've never played, but per my name am a serious student of sports history, especially football which I have observed since 1958. I generally agree with much of what you say. Sometimes the members don't like my posts either as I try to be objective, something some folks...

The Eagles are a team on which QB seems to have been a "black" position for a long time. It will be interesting to see if they draft another one in an early round this year.

The Eddie DeBartolo Jr. episode premieres tonight (Wednesday) at 8pm ET.

And characters like Hill are especially prone to drop passes in crucial situations.

They won. Don't you know?

The subject of next week's episode is Eddie Debartolo Jr.

Jerry Sandusky's Victim Number 1 has identified himself and will be on ABC's 20/20 tonight (Friday).

The 49ers won 13-6. At the end, Harbaugh did some "over-coaching," per the baseball term of over-managing. Whatever his limitations, Wilson has some so-called receivers who would have trouble catching a basketball in a peach basket.

The Steve McNair episode premieres tonight (Wednesday) on the NFL Network and runs the rest of the week.

The DWFs in many places will be GOP voters. In Seattle, the DWFs are probably hard-line Obama-worshippers.

Don, I'm sure you've noticed that a good many posters aren't exactly knowledgable about sports history.

Yes, in recent years Hollywood has been casting rap "singers" in family-friendly films. Ice Tea plays the Noble Black Cop, a long time staple.

Tonight's episode is "Fearsome Foursome": "The life and times of arguably the greatest defensive line in football history." Next week will be: "The life and legacy of the late, great Steve McNair."

Absolutely. It was a black LB who knocked out Griffin.

Don, You're right. Gene Shalit was the NBC film reviewer (not critic). Siskel was on "At the Movies" with Ebert for a long time.

Gene Siskel.

Harrison Smith is from Knoxville, TN and Knoxville Catholic High School. He supposedly had offers from the University of Tennessee, but (probably wisely) went to Notre Dame. I suspect that playing high school football in Knoxville and colege ball at Notre Dame taught him to stand his ground...

The NFL Network's Top 10 Running backs of the 80's: 1. Eric Dickerson 2. Walter Payton 3. Marcus Allen 4. Roger Craig 5. Tony Dorsett 6. Ottis Anderson 7. John Riggins 8. Curt Warner 9. Bo Jackson 10. Billy Sims You have to consider that some of these runners had careers that straddled the...

"Cabrera was just fortunate to have had his good year when the rest of the league didn't perform as well." You could say the same about Frank Robinson's triple crown year in 1966 and Carl Yaszstremski's in 1967.
