American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

^^ That run game for the Jets was not great but served it's purpose keeping Manning off the field, :sweat: that 2nd TD drive of theirs took almost 10 minutes. Manning even said that they scored with too much time left, had they converted that 3rd down play Jets would have never gotten the ball back. :shakehead: No 'goats' in the game but if there was one Wayne would take the award, 1 catch for 1 yard! :doh:

You can't really say Wayne was a goat: Revis just shut him down.

That said, the Colts need to really need to take a good hard look at their running game and run defense for next season... :sweat:

Sure do need to shore up that run defense, but a quality RB should be #1 on their list of needs, Manning set a record this year for most pass attempts. :sweat: They don't need a star, just a quality back like the Pats found in Ellis-Green, someone to keep the defense a bit honest, right now they have have 3 who play a revolvoing door with going on the IR. :muack:

Saw this on another forum, obviously this guy is not a Colts' fan:

The good news is that we don't have to watch Peyton Manning anymore this season.

The bad news is that Peyton Manning now has extra time to tape more commercials.

Actually that brings up something that could be interesting, perhaps PM nad FB will do some sort of commercial together, there's been odder pairs then them. :naughty:

You mention the qbs currently on the Niners roster.

That would be David Carr.

As of the end of the regular season, Alex Smith, Troy Smith, and Nate Davis are no longer under contract with the Niners.

The cupboard is, as they say, bare.

There's only one NFL team that plays in NY, but the way they've been going the last few years seems like none play in the state. :shamefulcry: Actually, upstate NY really only root for the Yanks as far as teams from NYC go, Steelers after the Bills are probably the most popular team in the area. :bleh:

So ka.

My immediate manager was born in NY and he roots for all the NY teams... But he lived in Boston for a number of years, so he's a Boston fan as well... He has both Yankee and BoSox logos on his Jeep. :beaten:

Former AFL star Cookie Gilchrist dies at 75

By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Former AFL star fullback Cookie Gilchrist has died of cancer at 75.

Nephew Thomas Gilchrist says his uncle died Monday at an assisted living facility near Pittsburgh.

Gilchrist was a 251-pound bruising runner in the 1960s in the American Football League. He spent six years in the Canadian Football League before joining the Buffalo Bills of the AFL in 1962.

He spent three seasons in Buffalo, two in Denver and one in Miami. He was the league's player of the year in 1962 with 1,096 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns.

Carlton Chester "Cookie" Gilchrist was born in Brackenridge, Pa.

^^ Bills were a powerhouse during that mid 60's era with him as the RB and Kemp as the QB, won 2 straight AFL championships and lost going for a 3 in a row to the Chiefs who went on to play in the first SB.

Cookie was one of the few players that under "college" in the program it said "none" but that doesn't mean he was stupid. When Buffalo, a perennial contender traded him to Denver, at that time the laughingstock of the AFL, Cookie said, "If I have to play for Denver, I quit!!" Once they sweetened the pot a little, Cookie had a change of heart. I don't know if he was the first player to extort more money out of a team to complete a trade, but he was certainly a pioneer.

Cookie Gilchrist was the best of the big powerful FBs that were common in the AFL in its early years. And at 251 pounds he was bigger than a lot of the offensive linemen during that era.
