Around the NFL Week 16

Didn't realize basically all the games will be played on Saturday this week. Makes sense.

I'm hoping where I'll be for X-Mas has 2 games broadcasted in the late afternoon games.

For some reason it's always 1 game at 1:00 p.m. and 2 games at 4:00 p.m. or visa versa.

There has to be some reason that involves money, but it's so annoying that there aren't 2 games on at both times every week.

Loved the 70’s Steelers and they’re legendary backfield of Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier and Frenchie Fuqua. RIP Franco, loved watching you play.

In fourth grade i did an oral book report about Rocky Bleier. He was missing a toe, I believe it happened in Viet Nam? Too lazy to fact check myself. Its crazy that Franco died almost to the day of the immaculate reception and on the verge of the Steelers retiring his number. Should have been done years ago though.

He was injured by grenade blasts, a true hero badass.

RIP Franco. One of the authors of the greatest play in NFL history.

Pittsburgh doesn't really retire numbers. There are only two officially retired numbers, Ernie Stautner and Joe Greene. Franco is going to make it three.

I get it, just a shame they waited so long.

Same thing with us and Bobby Mitchell.

That's a shame,I remember watching the immaculate reception live on b&w tv,I was 10.He was interviewed hours before his death and said he felt great,I'd be interested in seeing what cause of death was

Re: Around the NFL Week 16

RIP to Franco! Legend!

As for this week.

Go panthers and Go Chiefs that’s it. I could care less about any other games

Re: Around the NFL Week 16

Lions Remaining Games

@ Carolina
V Chicago
@ GB

If they lose to Carolina they are done because I think the bears and packers can beat them.

Well we beat the Bears ( barely ) and GB so they cant exactly be relied upon. The last game GB likely wont have anything to play for so Love may be starting for them, Lions could very easily go 3-0, whereas it will be tough for us to go 2-1. Lions are more likely than Seattle to get the last wildcard
