Someone that should get an honorable mention is Roger Craig. I always thought that he was the perfect RB for that team/system.

When I played tackle football with my buddies, they had 2 nicknames for me,  one was Riggins for John Riggins and the other was Rathman for Tom Rathman.  I never tried to sidestep a tackle. I always tried to blow up the defender like those two players did so I've always loved #44.

Same here, though I might want Haley in Young's spot. Tough call.

When I think of the 9ers it makes me miss Jim Harbaugh being in the NFL, he's an awesome coach and was so entertaining to watch  :lol I think it's a shame that he's not coaching in the NFL any more. In my opinion he's good enough to turn almost any team in the NFL into a contender, just look at what he did with the 9ers in his first year...

Certainly feel free to keep talking about the great 49ers franchise, but I've got to get today's entry in a bit earlier than usual.

Today's team, The Washington Redskins



5 League Championships (1937, 1942, 1982, 1987, 1991)


My Mount Rushmore... Sammy Baugh, Darrell Green, John Riggins, Art Monk


Uniforms are decent. I do like the white jerseys over the burgundy ones.

Memorable games.... not too many since their SB days.

My neighbors dad was an avid Skins fan and I loved going over there on Sundays to watch him drink beer and cuss Billy Kilmer , lol. After the Colts rolled out I tried to be a Redskins fan but I just could never really get on board ( and they were a decent team ). I remember going to a Capitols game and Charles Mann , Dexter Manley , and Mark Rippon ( spelling sorry I'm not looking this up now ) were there at the game , man those guys are huge you just don't realize till you stand close to them. They have always missed with me , heart or integrity or something like that the Baltimore ( and some other ) teams projected , they are just like " as a matter of fact " kind of attitude still to this day ( Joe Gibbs perhaps ) . Damn they had a hell of an O Line though ( " The Hogs " ).

Now it's time for America's Team (oh boy).

The Dallas Cowboys

5 League Championships (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1995)

My Mount Rushmore would be Emmitt Smith, Roger Staubach, Larry Allen & Tom Landry

Uniforms are a complete mess. The helmets however are incredible.

Memorable games...... recently, Romo vs. Manning in 2013 and Dez Dropping it in Green Bay.

Emmitt, Irvin, Staubach, Randy White. I went with these four because each one of them would take over a game and win it single-handed, and they were dominant at their position at the time they played.

Honorable mentions could fill a book. Obviously Larry Allen. Harvey Martin, Aikman, Dorsett, Everson Walls, Haley, and Bob Lilly are all strong candidates, as well.

I'd swap out Aikman for Irvin, but that's a good list with a soundproof rationale.  (Might add Ed "Too Tall" Jones to the honorable mention, though, and if we ever name coaches, Landry has to be there.)   

Funny story about Bob Lilly.   Three buddies went to a card signing show (one is the real collector, the other two went along for the beer/ride).    They go into the hotel bar after the show, and who walks in but Bob Lilly.   My buddy had gotten a football signed by him (he's a life-long Cowboys fan) and when Lilly sat down next to them Mike showed him the ball, said thanks and offered to buy him a beer.   Lilly ended up sitting with them for about a half an hour, and Mike says "we're going to get some steaks, you're welcome to join us" and Lilly says "I'd love to but I'm committed to go with the promoter of the show and Steve (Carlton, the other big name from the show).  I'll stop in on the way back and if you're here, we can pick up the conversation". 

Anyway, so Carlton walks in about ten, fifteen minutes later and comes up to Lilly and my other friend says "Steve Carlton?  He's my favorite player of all time!" so Mike pulls out a ball and says "well, here you go."  So my friend goes around and says "Mr. Carlton, I wasn't at the show, but I grew up a Phillies fan and you're my favorite player, yadda yadda".  Carlton says "Guy, I'm sorry, I've been signing all day, and I'm supposed to only sign for paying customers and..." and Lilly turns to him and says "Steve, shut up and sign the fucking ball."   "Yes, Bob."   

Really, genuinely seemed to appreciate being recognized and valued by a fan (it was clear that Mike wasn't doing this to put shit on eBay, which is a big problem for these guys).

Irvin was a revolutionary player to some extent. Aikman was a very good quarterback on quite possibly the most talented team ever assembled. He didn't reinvent the position or change the way teams ran their secondary. I gave Staubach the edge because A: he was the ultimate competitor, and B: he was exceptional for his entire career, playing for very different teams.

My old man worked with Staubach on a few occasions (I've sat in his box at Stars games). His take on the man was that he was absolutely, utterly and completely humorless, and that he was still the most competitive guy you'll ever meet. I never met him but he did wave at me once when I stopped and let him walk across the street.

Most of us here are way too young to remember, but the two super bowls against the Steelers were great games. I re-watched the games on NFL network a few years ago.

SBX the Cowboys were up 10-7 going into the 4th quarter. The Steelers scored two touchdowns, and the Cowboys answered back with one and were driving, but Staubach threw an interception in the end zone as time expired.

SBXIII featured 14 hall of fame players between the two teams. The game is also the only time in NFL history to feature two QB's with two SB rings each. The final score was 35-31 in a game where both QB's were very impressive for that era.

Then there was "The Catch" game against the 49ers.

Not sure I can do only four for the Cowboys....

If I go with one QB, one RB, one WR, and one defensive player (which is totally ridiculous because, among other things, it excludes all of the great Cowboys' offensive linemen), I think I have to go with:

Roger Staubach > Troy Aikman
Emmett Smith > Tony Dorsett
Michael Irvin > Drew Pearson and Tony Hill
Randy White > "Too Tall" Jones, Charlie Waters and Sean Lee (and many others)

SB 13 was the second Super Bowl I watched.  After rooting for the Broncos over the Cowboys in 12, I was pulling for the Cowboys in 13.  The game didn't feel as close as the score reflected.  Unfortunately, the game is probably most known for Jackie Smith's drop of what would have been a tying touchdown (assuming the extra point) late in the third quarter.  Instead of tying the game, the Cowboys settled for a field goal.  The Steelers then scored 14 unanswered pointsto take a 35-17 lead more than half way through the 4th quarter.  The Cowboys narrowed the gap to the final score with two touchdowns in a span of about two minutes, but they couldn't recover a second onside kick to give themselves a chance at a game winning Hail Mary pass.

Super Bowls 16 and 23 came the closest to measuring up to this game until my Broncos won Super Bowl 32.

I remember it for the bullshit interference call. Lynn Swann misses that catch and they punt. Dallas had all the momentum at that point. Handing Pittsburgh the ball inside the Dallas red zone turns the tide back and that's that.

Fun fact: that 35-31 Steelers/Cowboys Super Bowl was apparently one of the worst days for Vegas ever.

Pittsburgh started off as a 3 1/2-pt favorite, but it moved to 5 at some point, and a lot of people who had taken Pittsburgh -3 1/2 then took Dallas + 5 hoping it would fall in the middle and the Steelers would win by 4...which they did.  :lol :lol

There were two controversial calls on that drive. The other had something to do with a false start. I'd have to look it up to know for sure, but I've heard that one of the calls was made by the same ump that made the immaculate reception call a few years earlier.

Deflate gate and spy gate have nothing on how that probably made people's heads spin at the time.

Today's team is one that probably needs this the least, as it is far an away the most talked about team in this forum's history.....

The New England Patriots

5 League Championships (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016)

Mount Rushmore -  Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, John Hannah, Andre Tippett

Didn't care for their original uniforms/helmets. Loved the ones from the mid-90s. The current ones are okay.

Memorable games..... too many to count. All of the B&B era Super Bowls were close, tight games.

John Hannah is and always will be my favorite Patriot.  The meanest streak I have ever seen in a player but the cleanest player.

Which to me is the hallmark of the truly greats.    The guy that no one wants to take their chances against.

This is so hard, for a couple reasons; first, they are a situational and role-playing team.  They have a number of interchangeable parts.   They have so many players that have stepped up.    I'm going to go out on a limb, though, and forsake the "individual accomplishment" and go for the more "systemic accomplishment".  So no Randy Moss, but:

Tom Brady, John Hannah, Rodney Harrison, Troy Brown.   

Honorable mention to Steve Grogan, Kevin Faulk, Tedy Bruschi, Gino Cappalletti, Stanley Morgan, Russ Francis, Gronk, Vince Wilfork...  and a shout out to Daryl Stingley, just because.

Tom Brady, John Hannah, Stanley Morgan & Andre Tippet

Adam Vinatieri and Gronk deserve mentions.

Mo Lewis. :lol

I remember being at that game and Brady went down and never got up.  I saw Brady come in and we were like, "Who the hell is this kid"?  "Isn't he the 4th string QB"?

Who knew then?
