Speak of the devils......

Today's team, The Denver Broncos



3 League Championships (1997, 1998, 2015)

Mount Rushmore..... for me... John Elway, Terrell Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Von Miller (Completely torn between him and Gradishar).

Honorable Mentions.... plenty to choose from. Randy Gradishar, Pat Bowlen, Rod Smith, Tom Jackson

Uniforms..... wow.....really like their 1997-Current looks... but wow.... their Pre-1997s are amazing, with one of my most favorite helmets in NFL history.

Memorable games.... too many to count really. The Super Bowl win over the Packers. Tebow and Thomas beating the Steelers in OT in the Wild Card Round in 2011,  The 2012 playoff game against the Ravens, The regular season game (2013 or 2014?) against the Cowboys.... to name a few.

Class act franchise from the owner on down.  Never cared for Elways' choice to refuse to play for the Baltimore Colts... but it certainly worked out in his favor, and there's no denying his greatness.

John Elway, Terrell Davis, Von Miller, Tom Jackson.

There's a lot of good players in Broncos history, but the top four wasn't really that hard for me.

Easy picks for my Broncos: Elway, T.D, Sharpe and V. Miller.

Honorable mentions go to Peyton, Tom Jackson, Atwater, Champ Bailey and Rod Smith.  And my homer pick of Ed McCaffrey.

He can go in the next tier.

Very good coach, but there is no doubt that his conservative style prevented Elway from being as great as he could have been (and he was still one of the greatest).  And the fact that his teams got shellacked in all four Super Bowls he made (3 with the Broncos, 1 with the Falcons) does not reflect well on him.

Gotta agree with this one word-for-word (other than the homer reason for Easy Ed).

Two of my favorite memories - one is giving it your all



The other ... not so much.

Today's team.... the Cleveland -> L.A. -> St. Louis -> L.A. Rams



3 League Championships (1945, 1951, 1999)

My Mount Rushmore would be Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones, Kurt Warner & Eric Dickerson  with apologies to Marshall Faulk, Orlando Pace and Isaac Bruce.  Aaron Donald is trending towards all-time too..... dude is a freak.

Love love love their Blue and yellow uniforms/helmets. Hate hate hate all other versions.

Memorable games for me...... Many of their playoff games from 99-03... particularly the two Super Bowls. More recently, the Fisher era upsets of Seattle and that wild game against Philly last year.








Couldn't think of a particular funny picture for this team. Ah well!

Most memorable games has to be all three of their SB's.

Jack Youngblood playing with a broken leg against the Steelers. The Rams were up at halftime then Bradshaw and Stallworth started lighting it up in the 2nd half.

The Titans coming up one yard shy.

The Pats pummeling their speedsters, and then winning it with a kick.

Marshall Faulk is a pouter.  That is who he is.  I worked with a gal many years ago who hooked up with him and she said he was definitely a pouter.  He threw a fit once when they met up at a bar (both in groups) and she didn't give him her undivided attention. 

Still one of the best RBs ever, regardless.

Destinty's Mt. Rushmore works.   I might put Jack Youngblood in for Merlin Olsen.  We've got to mention Fred Dryer in here at some point too.

Today's team, The Detroit Lions



4 League Championships (1935, 1952, 1953, 1957)

My Mount Rushmore would be Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Dick "Night Train' Lane & Bobby Layne

I like the uniforms and helmets. Not great, not bad.


Memorable games for me, loved watching Barry Sanders play football... also that Thanksgiving Game coin toss with the Steelers. Some decent regular season games along the way. Nothing too crazy.

Yes.....one of the funniest moments in NFL history. This angle shows the ref signaling safety why Orvloski (s/p) is still scanning the field. Jared Allen's reaction is priceless.

Orlovsky.   UConn guy!   Never would have called his longevity in the NFL.  I met him a couple times around the state when he was here, and always seemed a nice enough guy.  He went to the same high school as my dad (Shelton).  That part of the state ("The Valley") is HUGE for high school football (Shelton, Ansonia, Derby, Naugatuck...).  My uncle is 86 and he's been going to high school games for the better part of 50 years, maybe more. 


I like Destiny's Mt. Rushmore here, too.  Stealin' my thunder!   Honorable mention for Alex Karras, but only for his excellent acting skills  (Trivia:  what's his connection to this forum?  Or at least to a band that is likely the favorite band of the forum besides DT?)

No clue on that trivia.


Today's team, the most recent winners of the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles





4 League Championships (1948, 1949, 1960, 2017)


My Mount Rushmore would be Steve Van Buren, Reggie White, Chuck Bednarik & Brian Dawkins.  Carson Wentz certainly has potential to crack the top 4 in a decade or so... but let's be real... he has a chance to be the GOAT. Time will tell.


Love the uniforms. Love the Kelly green throwbacks as well. Helmet is one of the coolest in the league.


Memorable games....too many to count. The 4 NFC Championship games in a row... both of the SBs against New England... the nail biter against Atlanta and the destruction of Minnesota en route to the SB.  The MNF game where Desean Jackson dropped the football in celebration prior to crossing the goalline. The game I went to against the Ravens in 2016 where a then rookie Carson Wentz had a gutsy performance and the team elected to go for 2 instead of playing for OT.

Something else that could be fun to do after the team a day thing winds down.

DTF ranks the NFL QBs.

Send me a PM with your list of NFL QBs as you would rank them based on how good you think they are as of right now (assuming the injured ones are recovered by the regular season). You can list 10, 20 or how ever many you want. I'll give each QB points based on how they rank on your list and I'll rank them up and  we'll count them down. If fun feel free to send me a list. If lame, no biggie.
