As we say goodbye to the Pro Bowl, we trace the history of All-Star games in pro football.

Some owners whisk their teams off in the middle of the night. Some will just tell you right to your face… “I’m leaving!“

What would you do if your favorite team moved? With all its history, championships, Hall of Fame players and moments. What if they just packed up and left?

We look back on the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and both the NFL‘s reactions to some of the biggest events in US history, and how it learned from its mistakes.

John Elway + the 4th highest winning percentage in the 1980s + 5 division titles in 7 years + 3 Super Bowl appearances = 0 titles. Eventually, the Denver Broncos learned how to do math, just not in the 80s.

In honoring the life and career of Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Len Dawson, some coaches didn’t know what they had until it was gone.

Not every great team that’s won a Super Bowl (or two) had a bunch of Hall of Famers on it. Business decisions had to be made to get good and stay good. Some head coaches had a front row seat.

From players supposedly too small, coaches that kept winning, and the Hall of Fame‘s first official inducted. We review the careers of the eight newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2022!

Of all of the ways a successful dynasty or great franchises’ success can end, sometimes it comes down just one guy.

There’s always that team that people only talk about when they lose. What’s ignored is how good the team actually was, and then sometimes…they break through when you least expect it.

The Raiders are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. Period. Their greatest teams played in the 70s, and it’s a shame it produced only one trophy.

They say that money is the root of all evil. Although that may not always be the case, it can sure mess up a good thing…Especially in sports.

Albert Einstein once said, “Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear, and greed.“ I’d add to that impatience, all of which can come back to bite you!

It’s easy to say a team got old and somebody retired, but, the details of a great franchises demise can be a lot more interesting.

The NFL has a long history. Within that history, there are some franchises that have since fallen off from greatness. There are others you had no idea were great at all!

Age, injury, and infighting between coaches and owners aren’t the only way dynasties end. Sometimes, there are just more important things than sports, like serving your country.

To continue a dynasty, sometimes the answers are right under your nose, and you have no idea. And sometimes history has a way of repeating itself.

When we speak of dynasties, we only talk about how they were built and how long they lasted. But we never talk about how they end.

The 2022 NFL draft is over, and we have no idea how any of the picks are going to do. Still, the stories behind these athletes are amazing. Whether your team got it right or wrong, we shall see.

NFL player evaluation has gone from simple newspapers and magazines to poking and prodding from scouts (both mentally and physically) in combines and pro days. Here is its genesis.

In his life and career, Burt Bell not only played the game, coached the game, and was the second commissioner in NFL history, he gave us the NFL draft. Why is that so special?

For four seasons, the AAFC was a threat to the NFL. But, a great man once said that no one can run a business losing money every year, no matter how many people are coming to your games.

By the end of the first All America Football Conference season in 1946, the new league would learn three things. Have a good owner, a good coach, and good talent on the field. Some teams didn’t have enough of any of those things.

Between 1926 and 1945, five professional football leagues tried and failed trying to keep up with the NFL. One did, ultimately producing some of the greatest teams, players, and coach in NFL history.

As we wrap up our March continuation of NFL black history, we’ve seen many teams go on to greatness after bringing in black players… except for one that blatantly refused. The Kennedy administration would have something to say about that.
