I don't know, but if he stays for a decade or two, and doesn't hire GM Frank Lane, I wonder if the Indians don't wander in the wilderness as long.

What happened is that it turned out to be a rumor (actually, the rumor was that the Falcons and Colts were moving with the Skins or Vikes as the possible third choice). Also, the Falcons and Vikings didn't want to go (apparently, the Bears wanted to get rid of the Vikes and get a warm weather...

On Facebook, I am reading a post from a group called "On This Day in Professional Football History". The post has to do with the May 10, 1969 meeting about who was going to move to the AFC from the NFC. We know that the Steelers, Browns, and Colts did, but early that morning, it looked like...

I think Dallas had Mandarich as their second-rated player (after Aikman). In the Supp draft, they have a tougher decision to make without Aikman. Jimmy likes Walsh, but Timm Rosenbach is more talented, and they may take him instead.

I think that #2 would have been Dallas's in a three-way tie (between them, GB, and Det with 4-12 records). Dallas would have had the weakest strength of schedule with the Steelers finishing 2-14. Then, the rest of the top-10 is like this: Green Bay, Detroit, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, San...

In 1988, the Steelers played in two games that were pivotal to the future of the NFL: In Week 1, this happened: Then, in Week 13, the Steelers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs. Late in the game, the Steelers were up by six, but the Chiefs were driving. On the last play, WR Kittrick Taylor was...

Maybe the Cardinals (for David Green, who was considered a good prospect at the time). Also, if the Cards get Sutcliffe, maybe they trade Keith Hernandez somewhere else instead of the Mets (and don't get P Neil Allen, who sucked) in 1983. Trading him to the Pirates for 1B Jason Thompson may...

Well, hopefully the second 1971 AL team is given to Dallas, not Milwaukee. Then, the Senators find a way to stay in Washington to this day.

That sounds like the best scenario. If you can avoid Finley, that would be great.

I was watching a video about the early-00's Sacramento Kings, and I did some research. I found out something interesting: Apparently, before the 1997 NBA draft, Chris Webber was close to being traded from Washington to the Sonics for Shawn Kemp and C Jim McIlvaine...

That would be quite a twist, and we may still see the A's in KC going strong instead of this mess that we have today: Also, the A's staying in KC (if they do, I presume that Finley won't be the owner) may affect other sports: 1. Without Charlie Finley in the Bay Area in 1970, maybe the...

If the Browns get to SB 24, I agree that it should keep him there until 1991. However, I don't see him turning around the team after that, and Belichick still may replace him. In 1989, Belichick (along with George Seifert) was under consideration for the Cleveland job. Seifert decided to...

My goodness. I never heard of this story before. Tragic: https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/06/18/alfredo-edmead-jr-pablo-cruz-life-after-death-daily-cover This guy was supposed to be the successor to Roberto Clemente in right field. He was tearing up the Carolina League at 19. Then, tragedy struck...

The Spurs are still moving despite getting the #1 pick (and a chance at Robinson)?

So, in this world, there is no four-team expansion in the late-80's, correct?
