The Raiders of the late 60's and 70's had an offense that gave the most carries to the fullback. O.J. Simpson noted this when he played in the 1974 Pro Bowl. John Madden and the Raider staff coached the AFC team, using the Raider offense. Yes, winning teams of the 60's and 70's often...

There was a man also named Jim Taylor who played for the Chicago Cardinals in the late 50's. It is his picture shown above, an error by the card company. The only white RB's to gain 1000 yards for the Houston Oilers were Charlie Tolar in 1962, andHoyle Granger in 1967. Billy Cannon's best as...

I would like to quote further from the piece by Don Stradley. Leading in to the above quote, Stradley wrote, "When Larry Homes insulted Marciano after failing to beat his undefeated streak, there was a sudden bloc of support for the dead champion. But even this episode was used against Marciano...

Sorry, I failed to proofread. The actual quote was, "the cynical responses generated by modern white fighters seemed to reach back to infect Marciano. None of this was fair."

On the newstands there is a special expanded Ring Magazine with a 62-page tribute to Rocky Marciano. Hopkins-Taylor are on the cover. The Marciano section has actual Ring articles by Nat Fleischer and others covering Rocky's big fights. A writer named Don Stradley has a piece on how Marciano...

Southern Knight, Ken Stabler did the exact same thing as the Georgia Tech QB against Tennessee in 1965. The game was tied 7-7 with under a minuter to play with then soph QB Stabler leading a drive. Alabama was inside the Vol 10 with less than a minute to play. the Snake threw the ball away on...

As I said when starting this thread, Some Vol fans were complaining in the early 80's about the team's makeup. In 1981, the Vols lost their first two games against Georgia and USC by a combined score of 87-7.Fans would sometimes say that the team didn't play with the "pride and dedication" the...

I looked at the story on the Notre Dame QB in the current SI. It featured his performance in the Irish victory over Tennessee, my long-time team. It seems that some ND students were wearing shirts that read, "The Catholics vs the Clampetts." Well, somebody wrote on this Forum that Notre Dame...

I remember once reading a piece by David Halberstam in which Halberstam wrote something like, "Ali's criticisms of the Vietnam War were among the most intelligent ever made." On a more serious note, Mark Kram wrote a book a few years ago pretty critical of Ali, especially his personal attacks on...

Don is right in his comments about Peyton Manning. The important thing is to WIN, not roll up stats. I remember seeing O.J. Simpson run up meaningless rushing yardage while his team was losing by two touchdowns. Buffalo would be way behind in the 2nd half and would call running plays for...

I'm not a fan of Frank Rich, but this column is interesting. Tillman had joined the Army to fight those who carried out the 9-11 attacks. Below is the thread: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10895.htm

I have an audio tape of the 1965 Green Bay-Cleveland NFL Title Game. I bought it from Danrick Enterprises. During the pre-game show, the announcer said, "This game features two great fullbacks." This would shock fans today, that Taylor was considered in Brown's league. The Packers won 23-12...

Out of curiosity, am I the only one on this Forum who remembers seeing Jim Taylor play on TV from 1960-64? To know how good a player was, you have to watch him during the course of a game, not just highlights from NFL Films decades later.

Condredge Holloway became the Tennessee QB in 1972. There has been a black QB in the SEC most years since then. I have never researched this subject, but it is certain that all SEC QB's were white in 1971.

The late Samuel Francis wrote something in one of his last Chronicles essays that could apply here. He wrote that the Hard Right needs to produce a change in the culture first, then political success could follow.

How did Archie Manning turn his back on Mississippi?

Mike Schmidt had an amazing record, but he sometimes underrated himself. I remember seeing an interview were Schmidt discussed his speed. "I'm pretty fast for a big white guy," he said.

Last Sunday, ESPN Classic showed the 1977 TV movie, Something For Joey. I had seen it several times before. After the film, they showed John Cappelletti's actual speech at the Heisman ceremony. He was better in real life than the actor (who did a very good job) who played him. One of the...

I should have proofread my comment. I meant to write: "Joe, how many World Series did the Astros play in when you were on the team?"

Someone could ask Joe Morgan; "Joe, how many World Series did they Astros play in when you were on the team?"

In today's Nashville Tennessean, I read that Billy Volek will start for the Titans this Sunday.

I forgot to mention something in my post above. Steve Sailer writes that sportswriters tend to be slavish followers of the liberal party line in matters of race, with no chance that they would write about discrimination against white athletes. This is my own observation over many decades...

Steve Sailer has apiece on the Caste System as Vdare's main article. This willcause more people to have a look at this site.

An interesting angle to me is that this would be the first time a Texas franchise has made the World Series. The Astros have been in the NL since 1962 and this will be their first Series if they beat the Cardinals. The Texas Rangers have never made the Series since the old Washington Senators...

If you haven't read the book, Pros & Cons, I referred to above, you should find it. Warning: It is rather gruesome at times.
