  • The last is a good point, but they can be evaluated for heart during a half or quarter. Can evaluate the whole team.

    • I'm not sure how Lamar Hunt thought the rules didn't apply to him. It seems quite a stretch to link founding the AFL to that. Yes, he may have had a silver spoon in his mouth, but he did a great deal with that. The AFL not only expanded the league, but brought new life to it. It was a more exciting, pass oriented game, and was brash and cocky compared to the more staid NFL. Once Hunt was in the NFL, he pushed for rules to make the game better, including instant replay and the 2 point conversion.

      In addition, he is probably the main reason why the MLS is a healthy league today. He pumped his money, his heart, and soul into that league to bring professional soccer to the US, after his attempt with the NASL failed. Now, especially to those who follow soccer in this country, Lamar Hunt IS a saint and his passing is day of mourning.

      • He was in Dallas. He could have pitched a fit and tried to stay. People wanted the Cowboys and he never made a fuss, just went on and did his thing, at not very old of an age, at that.

        • I was referring to some of his business dealings. His contributions to pro football and soccer were exceptional.

          • I remember seeing truck trailers parked on the side of the little interstate highways.

            "Thanks For Helping H.L. Hunt Make Another Million Dollars". Seriously. Never knew wtf. I was a kid.

            • H.L. Hunt was the daddy. An Arkansas wildcatter and political ultra-conservative. That's where they got their money.

              • Looks like the 49ers are trying to move "any given Sunday" to Thursday. Holmgren looks like he needs a Tums.

                • Incredible play by Smith, avoiding the sack, scrambling and throwing the TD pass to Gore.
                  Stadium sounds like a morgue.

                  • Alex Smith having an incredible second half... after he looked like utter crap in the 1st half. This guy has some skills... he just needs some more talent around him.

                    • I can't believe I sat Gore in Salary Cap. Had him the past 3 weeks, but made a shift after I saw the weather forecast. Nothing's gone right for me in that league since about Week 8.

                      Gore will likely be a top 5 FF pick next year.

                        • And Smith with the TD on a naked bootleg... sealing the game.

                          • Seattle is in shambles. Consecutive losses to Arizona and SF?
                            They have Hasselbeck and Alexander back. No excuses.
                            What an embarrassment.
