Woods will probably be making commercials for years to come even if he isn't winning any tournaments. By the way, Johnny Miller made a lot of money from TV ads after he stopped winning.

Hilis, by his own account, willingly sat out the game. I agree with you that it was, as you say, a lame excuse.

You write: "We clearly don't know exactly what happened, and those involved appear to be covering things up." No, you don't know exactly what happened. What are they covering up? By your scenario, Hillis is in on the conspiracy. Are you going back to the argument that white players go along...

People involved in a conspiracy conceal what they are doing. That isn't happening here. The new management in Cleveland is not committed to Hillis as the Brown's number one runner. Nobody has to "conspire."

It doesn't require a conspiracy to change a player's role on a team.

Yes, there are more white receivers and white RBs were nonexistant for decades. Matt Stafford is still another young QB who is playing well.

I don't recall a pro football player missing a game because of strep throat, either. Hillis' luck is changing, at least so far this season.

George Gipp died of strep throat, but that was in 1920.

Yes, we've seen this before. A white WR becomes a free agent and signs with the worst possible team or resigns with a team that will not use him.

An account from a Dallas paper said that Line was playing with a shoulder separation.

"Stuff Black People Don't Like" (sbpdl.com) has an article on Zach Line.

Your comments have nothing to do with the original subject of the thread.

Aside from long, repetitive, and uninformative posts, what is your point? Taylor has been getting more credit from researchers in recent years. In The Pro Football Abstract, he's rated ahead of Lenny Moore, Tony Dorsett, Earl Campbell, Franco Harris, John Riggins, Larry Csonka, and even Gale...

How many 30 yard plus TD's did Taylor get in a season? What else do you get wrong? If you want to argue with someone, why don't you contradict the poster at the pro football reference blog who doesn't think a white RB can gain a thousand yards in a season anymore?

Yes, you never saw either Brown or Taylor live on TV. Presumably, the game highlights you refer to are the 1957 and 1965 NFL championship games. The latter was not one of Brown's best. Late in the third quarter, he missed a catchable pass that would have cut the Packer lead to 20-19. Green Bay...

How many times did you see Brown and Taylor play on live TV? I saw them both on TV dozens of times during the 1960's. Highlight films only show a player at his best. I've seen both of them having sub-par games as well as great games. They were never 1a and 1b, but 1 and 2 is a fair estimate...

Reggie Bush still seems to be in demand as a corporate endorser, if at a low level. He's now doing a pizza commercial.

Well, is there some trickery involved in Newton's passing yardage the first two games? If so, why is his team 0-2?

It's no disgrace to be second to Brown. Overall, Brown's average per carry was higher than Taylor's.

Hillis did have adequate yardage for the number of carries and most important, the Browns won.

The list was: 1. Don Hutson 2. Brett Favre 3. Bart Starr 4. Reggie White 5. Ray Nitschke 6. Paul Hornung 7. Herb Adderly 8. James Lofton 9. Jerry Kramer 10. Jim Taylor Jerry Kramer, who isn't in the HOF was picked over two Lombardi-era OL, Gregg and Ringo, who are. Hornung is surprisingly high...

Tonight (Saturday) at 10pm ET, the NFL Network has a new Top 10 program, the Top 10 all-time Green Bay Packers. The Packers have 21 hall of famers to choose from. The program will be repeated several times the next few days.
