Off the top of my head, I would guess 1978 or 1979.

I don't use the word "stereotype" because a stereotype is based on reality, whereas the reality is a white RB can be successful. Hopefully, Gerhart will be a starter somewhere next year.

Here (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/don_banks/12/22/longest.game.ever/index.html) is an article on the game and upcoming special.

Yes, this is how Kersey sees it. I've exchanged several emails with him and assisted Kersey with research. He's only 27 years old, but knows sports before his time very well.

On Christmas Day, the NFL Network is showing a special on the 1971 Dolphins-Chiefs AFC Divisional Playoff game at 6pm ET. This is the 40th anniversary of the game, which went two overtime periods. It was the longest pro football game ever played. The Chiefs had 13 black starters, 9 on defense...

They probably can't afford the Klitschkos. A TV fight usually has a good fighter matched against an "opponent" who is expected to lose. Sometimes, an upset happens. A good TV matchmaker has competetive fights.

This site (http://losangelesrams.org) is called "Bring Back The Los Angeles Rams." It has been keeping up with developments in St. Louis, which increasingly don't look good. It appears the NFL now wants a team in Los Angeles again. In recent years teams have been blackmailing their cities in...

The Patriots have a suspect defense and this is always a problem in the playoffs. The chances are probably 50% NE will be knocked off by somebody. All it takes is for Brady and his receivers to have an off day, which is what happened last year.

It's worth noting how often you see unheralded white QBs come in and do an excellent job.

In this game, the correct move was to stay in bounds so Barber ran out of bounds. Other times when you want a black RB or WR to go out of bounds to stop the clock, they will stay in bounds.

The MSM types consider Griffin's highlight film plays to be Heisman moments.

When Bayless said he was voting for Griffin, it meant it was going in that direction. The general concensus in the MSM was Luck didn't have a "Heisman Moment."

Skip Bayless said Griffin has his vote.

I've seen media types state that Pujols was the same kind of man as Stan Musial.

I think I've posted this before but back in the 60s it was said that an Auburn fan arrived at a bowl game on the day of the game in a pickup truck and brought his lunch.

Jared Allen has sometimes been described as a present-day Jack Youngblood.

Excellent post. Ron Santo was a very good player who fell short of what a hall of famer was supposed to be as originally intended. Santo was an announcer for the Cubs for a long time and ex-players who hang around with that job have a way of ending up in the hall of fame.

Ed Podolak started out as a QB at Iowa who was shifted to running back and was drafted by the Chiefs in 1969 at that position. Podolak became a starter in 1970 and played several years. His best game probably was the famous playoff game with Miami in 1971 which the Chiefs lost in overtime. Ed...

I saw Maynard and Sauer play on TV many times. Their QB was Joe Namath. In the 1968 AFL Championship game, Maynard made a great over the shoulder catch on a long pass to put the ball on the Raider 6 yard line. On the next play Maynard kept moving in the back of the end zone until Namath threw a...

It happened sometimes in the 1970s when runners like Csonka, Hubbard, Riggins, and Bulaich played against each other.
