Not to my knowledge, he ran for two yards and fumbled (Niners still recovered), then ran for 10 yards. OJ was relieved that his last carry was not a fumble.Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View PostNobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
11. Green Bay Packers
Why? Where the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field remains a hotbed for topless 300 pounders wearing cheese hats.
The Good. NFL Championships galore (1929-1931, 1936, 1939, 1944, 1961-62, 1965-67) 4 Super Bowls, 3 NFC Championships (1996-97, 2010)
The Bad, No winning seasons from 1948-1958, ’58 team went 1-10-1 before Vince Lombardi’s arrival. After Lombardi’s departure after Super Bowl II in 1968, the Packers only made the playoffs twice (1972 & 1982)
The Ugly: After Vince Lombardi left and before Mike Holmgren was hired in 1992. The Packers had five head coaches, Phil Bengtson, Dan Devine, Bart Starr, Forrest Gregg, and Lindy Infante. Each coach had a worse record than his or her predecessor did.
Four of the first five selections in the 1989 NFL Draft are now in the Hall of Fame. Dallas with Troy Aikman, Detroit with Barry Sanders, Kansas City with Derrick Thomas, Atlanta with Deion Sanders. Green Bay selected Tony Mandarich with the second pick of the draft. A hulking lineman from Michigan State. Sports Illustrated called him “the best offensive line prospect ever” is now considered a colossal bust. Mandarich was cut after three seasons, which was described as a “non-football injury”. Mandarich admitted at the time that he had drug and alcohol issues, he sobered up and played three seasons with Indianapolis. It was not until 2008 where Mandarich admitted to steroid use before arriving in the NFL.
Where they play. Lambeau Field, the NFL’s longest tenured football field built in 1957 originally named City Stadium. Named after Curly Lambeau in 1965 two months after his death. The Packers played 2-4 home games in Milwaukee’s County Stadium from 1953-1994. The Packers never fully relocated to Milwaukee as the stadium was built primarily for baseball.
Owner: Green Bay Packers, Inc. with Mark Murphy serving as chairman. The only team owned publicly, this practice was grandfathered in the modern NFL. No one is allowed more than 200,000 shares of stock out of 5 million.
Coach: Mike McCarthy, finished his 12th season as Head Coach, it seems more that McCarthy is very dependent on his quarterback for his success.
Top Current Players: Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams, and Clay Matthews
Hall of Famers: Herb Adderley, Tony Canadeo, Willie Davis, Brett Favre, Forrest Gregg, Arnie Herber, Clarke Hinkle, Paul Hornung, Don Hutson, Henry Jordan, Curly Lambeau, James Lofton, Ray Nitschke, Jim Ringo, Dave Robinson, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Reggie White, Willie Wood, and Vince LombardiLast edited by CommAvHusky; 03-16-2018, 11:47 AM.Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
10. Pittsburgh Steelers
Why? Steeler Nation will be quick to tell you that they have most Super Bowls in the NFL. They just do not like telling you how they played before the Super Bowl era.
The Good. Six Super Bowls, eight AFC Championships (1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1995, 2005, 2008, 2010). Only three Head Coaches since 1969.
The Bad, although born in 1933, the Steelers did not win their first playoff game until 1972. Only appeared in the playoffs once in 1948, a home loss to Philadelphia.
The Ugly: While Western Pennsylvania was a hotbed for quarterbacks, the Steelers could never keep one. Johnny Unitas was drafted by the Steelers in 1955 but was cut before the season started. Head Coach Walt Kiesling determined that Unitas was “too dumb” to be a starting NFL Quarterback. George Blanda was from Pittsburgh, but was never signed. Babe Perilli and Joe Namath were from suburban Beaver Falls, but signed in the AFL. Len Dawson from nearby Ohio was also let go from the Steelers before having a Hall of Fame career in Kansas City. All four had great careers in the AFL in the 1960’s as the Steelers continued to be a laughing stock. By 1969, the Steelers went rockbottom finishing 1-13. With the first pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, the Steelers picked Terry Bradshaw from Louisiana Tech (far from Western Pennsylvania)
Where they play. Heinz Field, where opponents have 57 varieties on how to beat the Steelers. Built in 2001 to replace Three Rivers Stadium. Three Rivers Stadium and Forbes Field prior housed both the Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Owner: The Rooney Family, Art Rooney founded the Steelers in 1933, when he died in 1988, his son Dan was the chairman. When Dan was named U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, he ceded control to his son Art Rooney II. Dan died last year.
Coach: Mike Tomlin, finished his 11th year as Head Coach of the Steelers, albeit with some controversies. Tomlin replaced Bill Cowher who retired after the 2006 season. Cowher replace Chuck Noll in 1992. Noll was first hired in 1969.
Top Current Players: Ben Roethlisberger, Le’veon Bell, and Antonio Brown
Hall of Famers: Jerome Bettis, Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw, Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson, “Mean” Joe Greene, Jack Ham, Franco Harris, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, Ernie Stautner, Lynn Swann, Mike Webster, Rod Woodson, Chuck Noll, Dan Rooney, and Art RooneyNobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
