The latest installment is on tonight (Thursday) at 9pm ET. It will have players #70-61. The previous episode of # 80-71 will precede it at 8pm.

So the 17th and 18th Century American pioneers, including my ancestors, were nothing but murderers?

I'll make a prediction. When an NFL team starts 22 black players, several sportswriters will write a column celebrating the event. They will write that it "shows the NFL is at long last colorblind" and praise the coach and GM for "not caring about color."

Dickie Post led the AFL in rushing in 1969, the AFL's last year before the merger. This would qualify as significant.

"The NFL hasn't had a white scatback getting significant carries since...when, the 1960s or 70s?" Off the top of my head, I would say Dickie Post, who was with San Diego from 1967-70. Post was listed at 5-9, 190. He led the AFL in rushing in 1969, but his knees soon gave out. The NFL Network...

Thanks, Westside. You know your stuff. Most all boxing promoters and media types (Howard Cosell includued) wanted Cooney to beat Holmes because it would have increased interest in boxing. For example, more boxing magazines would have been sold and more TV fights. Gerry Cooney as champion...

If buffoonery of this type, rather than serious discussion, is going to be the norm, it may be time for me to leave. This time, permanently.

Losers always make tactical mistakes. That's why they lose. By the way, didn't Wladimir Klitschko get stopped a few times after Eastern Europe opened up? Was he making "tactical mistakes" when he was KO'd?

Quarry, Bugner, Cooney, etc weren't good enough to win. What proof is there to the contrary?

Yep. In 50 years of observing football, I can't recall ever seeing an individual lineman credited by name for blocking on a TD run.

Why are the Klitschkos being allowed to win?

Cooney seemed to be "holding back" because Holmes wouldn't let himself be trapped in a corner as Lyle and Norton did in Cooney's one round KO's before the title fight. What did Cooney have to gain by taking a dive compared to the fortune he would have made as heavyweight champion of the world...

Can you name the "they" who told Cooney to take a dive?

Good analysis.

This weekend the Eagles are honoring the 50th anniversary of their last championship team. They are playing the Packers whom they defeated 17-13 to win the 1960 title game, the only playoff game Vince Lombardi ever lost. The Eagles will wear the 1960 style uniforms on Sunday. I saw the 1960...

The first NFL Network Top 100 players show had an ad for it, but the second program Tuesday night did not.

On the NFL Network, I just saw Ed Reed named one of the 100 best pro football players of all time. he was Number 88.

The players in the next group were: 81. Steve Young 82. Ted Hendricks 83. Norm Van Brocklin 84. Joe Schmidt 85. Marcus Allen 86. Willie Davis 87. Crazy Legs Hirsch 88. Ed Reed 89. Ernie Nevers 90. Kurt Warner

I read that Ernie Nevers, Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch, and Joe Schmidt will be in the next group.

I have seen white athletes sometimes mocked if they did have a "boy scout" image.

The players in the first episode were: 100 Joe Namath 99 Michael Strahan 98 Lee Roy Selmon 97 Derrick Brooks 96 Mel Hein 95 Larry Allen 94 Lenny Moore 93 Sam Huff 92 Michael Irvin 91 Fran Tarkenton I found an item quoting Steve Sabol of NFL Films. Sabol said that 8...

McGuffie can't live on the youtube highlights any longer. He has to do it NOW, starting in the next game.

On Friday night, September 3, the NFL Network is starting a 10-part series naming the top 100 pro football players of all time. The premiere is at 10 pm ET. The first program will list players 100-91.
