I am an old school NFL historian who loves providing action-packed, entertaining game footage from the late 1960's through the early 1980's with a modern spin.

@CoolOldSports I'll be nice and say "not good"

[SportsStatsNGab @MarkGar67006386]

@BBGreatMoments Mick the Quick did not get a good jump at all plus he looked back to home plate. It was a bang bang play. If he runs without looking towards home plate and gets an even average jump, he's safe.

@nflpastplayers Only the Super Bowl teams from the previous year (Packers and Raiders) had this horizontal format for the 1968 Topps set.

@nflpastplayers That is Deac behind him from 1969's week 6 tilt in which the Rams defeated the Bears 9 to 7.

@nflpastplayers Is it just me or does that grass appear to be long? If so, that would have slowed down the game some.

Here's why we shouldn't compare receiving statistics from back in the day to today's game:

@nflpastplayers Yes, it's Howie Long. He was in his second year as a Raider when Alzado joined the team.

[SportsStatsNGab @MarkGar67006386]

@nflpastplayers Unfortunately he had an issue that developed in college that he brought to the professional ranks. It kept him from becoming all that he could have been.

@EaglesOrtheYear @ProFootballHOF @NFL_Journal @fashion_nfl @PHLEaglesNation @RetiredNFLers Those uniforms are crisp 'n clean! Look at how all of the linemen are in a three point stance ON the line of scrimmage. I like it!

@nflpastplayers Fears was back as a Head Coach for the WFL's Southern California Sun in 1974, but that didn't last very long either.

[SportsStatsNGab @MarkGar67006386]

@nflpastplayers Reggie had 198 NFL sacks and 23.5 USFL sacks. Bruce Smith is #1 all-time with 200 sacks, so if Reggie had played in the NFL during his entire career, he'd be #1 by a large margin.

Here's an old-fashioned snowstorm game!
