In this age of Brady and Mahomes, it feels like Joe Montana is somehow now historically "underrated." #FTTB

@5thDownCFB Fair point on the turf. I was, of course, speaking from a fan's perspective. There wasn't a bad seat in the house, including the upper deck. And it was LOUD.

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

@steelers1288 Great response! Thank you.

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

From 1981 through the 1993 season, these 4 head coaches won 10 out of 13 Super Bowls. If you extend it through 1995 and include Walsh's and Johnson's successors (Seifert and Switzer), it comes to 13 out of 15. (The others: Tom Flores in '83, Mike Ditka in '85)
An incredible era.

[TD Nash @td_nash]

Who do you think was the better head coach?🧐

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

@5thDownCFB Giants Stadium was built exclusively for football, and it was PERFECT. John Madden called it the best home stadium in the NFL. MetLife Stadium is a dull, uninspired monolith. The upper deck is 45 feet higher than the old stadium because corporate suites fill the mezzanine. Awful.

@threeinningfan @Yankees I'm sorry I couldn't make them score more tonight! We had fun anyway. 🌭

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

Tuesday night at the ballpark. ⚾️

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

@RyanHyattMedia I refused to sharpen my Giants pencil. Didn't want to waste it. But I had no problem shredding the Cardinals and Buccaneers down to the nub.

My first favorite NFL running back. #RamsHouse

Happy 76th Birthday, Lawrence McCutcheon!

A scrimmage yards monster for the #Rams — earning five consecutive Pro Bowl nods from 1973 to 1977

The first Ram with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons and one of only six non-quarterbacks to throw a touchdown pass in a Super Bowl

@steelers1288 @KurtSchlichter @stylishsatirist @BobChoate54 @evan7257 @uclamike11 @randycrossFB @rshields37 @beckynot @Theoldp @OilalwaysRises There's a nice supplement feature on the Blu-ray that discusses the filming locations in and around L.A., including Huntley House.

Johnny Unitas and Raymond Berry. Always in synch. Two Legends that set the QB-WR standard. #ForTheShoe

@NFLMAVERICK #RaiderNation

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

The great Raymond Berry has passed away at the age of 93. 🙏

Voted one of the ten greatest WRs of the NFL's first 100 years, Berry and Johnny Unitas set the standard for QB-WR duos with the Colts of the 1950s and '60s. Berry also led the Patriots to Super Bowl XX as head coach.

[Ken Gelman @kengfunk]

@steelers1288 @Ol_TimeFootball @riggo44 @CharlesArbuckle Started out as a WR, quickly moved to TE. I saw him score a TD at Shea Stadium in 1980, playing for the Oilers vs. his old team. Great player.

Claude Lemieux carried torch into the Bell Centre just a few days ago. Absolutely gutting. Thinking of his family, friends, and former teammates 💔
