Rushing will come back eventually. The NFL is bound to make some rules changes with all of this drama about concussions going on. Maybe implement Pro Bowl rules for all games or something else just as stupid. Something will eventually change to allow RBs a chance to get past the LOS a little easier and that is when teams will get back to running the football.

The durability of Emmitt's record depends on future rules changes. No further rules changes and the record is safe. But if the game becomes more run-friendly by rule (e.g., outlawing common forms of tackling, etc.), sure, the record could get shattered.

Opps. Looks like we were thinking the same way.

I still have the game on VHS somewhere. The embrace between emmitt and Moose is what got me.

Emmitt was a favorite of mine until I heard him butcher the English language.

If it weren't for afletic talent. . .

Dancing with the Stars championship didn't win your heart back, tough guy?

Under current rules, it probably would last forever.

But soon tackling will probably be outlawed. That plus 20-game seasons will probably allow someone to break it.

Was worried about Tomlinson at one point, but he faded like all the others.

Nope.

Emmitt is one of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform.

I can't see anyone taking the ball as much as he did, stay productive, play through injuries and avoid major injuries.

lol at the frazzled Eagles coach walking around like someone shot his puppy.


Whaa? That's what our coach looks like most Sundays? He's a ginger Rich Kotite?

Well, fuck me in the ass and call me Shirley :sad

Wet ball, so Troy threw for less than 100 yards that afternoon. Emmitt had no choice but to pick up the slack.

I was pretty young at the time, so perhaps you can answer this:

Do you think Gogan and Stepnoski were as good as Nagy/Costa?

OT, but one of the suggestions after bb's vid finished was the Jets drafting Roger Vick. Clicked on it and damn, I didn't even remember Berman and Kiper doing the draft on TV that long ago. That's when it was during the day on a weekday, and you were at school and only heard later who we picked. I see Danny Noonan on the board behind them... Had such high hopes for that guy.

No.

That's my vid as well. I taped the drafts between 1987 and 1994. Like you said, I had to wait 'til school was over before I knew the pick.

Bbgun there's a fire in your house and you have mere moments to escape. Do you save the cowboys videos or the German shizer database?

Cool, I watched it in the window here so I didn't know that. When I get more time I'm going to watch more of those.
