CONGRATULATIONS CHISOX!!!!!
NFL Quiz: Warning – some of these are ridiculously hard, like
the first one. 1) Who holds the record for most interceptions
thrown in a game? [OK…1950] 2) Who holds the record for
most years leading the league in lowest interception percentage
with five? [pre-1960…but a big name] 3) Who holds the record
for most times sacked, career? 4) Most rushing attempts, game?
5) Most total yards, game? [punt and kickoff returns, rushing,
and receiving…in the old days you’d add yards on fumble
recoveries or interceptions…but this fellow is post-1980.]
Answers below.
Rosa Parks, RIP
I was looking for something different aside from what you’ve
been reading in most of her obituaries the past few days and
came across a bit from Harold Evans’s “The American Century.”
As he puts it, her story is more complicated than those having her
simply being tired the day she refused to give up her seat.
“(Parks) knew what she was doing challenging Alabama’s Jim
Crow laws. She did work as a seamstress, but she was also the
secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP and its
head, the Rev. E.D. Nixon, a fearless 56-year-old Pullman car
porter. Since the Supreme Court’s ruling on schools, Nixon had
been looking for a good witness for a court fight over bus
segregation. Rosa Parks was perfect, a 43-year-old married,
churchgoing Methodist of dignified humility and intelligence.
Nixon rushed down to her cell in the police station with a white
lawyer no less valiant in the fight for social justice – the old New
Dealer Clifford Durr. They bailed her out and that night asked
her to let them make her a federal case. By a historic tactical
blunder, she had been charged under a segregation ordinance,
opening the way for a federal court to rule on Jim Crow laws.”
But the thought of a boycott at this stage was not being
mentioned, until at all-black Alabama State, Jo Ann
Robinson, a professor of English and head of the NAACP’s
Women’s Political Council, an organization of black professional
women, “gathered a number of them in the college under the
guise of grading papers, and they stayed up all night churning out
35,000 petitions. ‘We are asking every Negro to stay off the
buses on Monday…’”
Meanwhile, Rev. Nixon enlisted about 50 black ministers;
among them Ralph Abernathy and a 26-year-old reverend at the
Dexter Avenue Baptist Church named Martin Luther King, Jr.
The boycott took hold, the buses were empty; but many of the
ministers were fearful and wanted their names kept secret.
Nixon blasted them: “You ministers have lived off these
washwomen for the last hundred years and ain’t never done
nothing for them.” In a campaign that became known as the
Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), King was
selected president without dissent.
Events were happening at light-speed and the same day that the
boycott took hold, 10,000 to 15,000 showed up to hear King
speak. Harold Evans:
“They were silent as he began in a slow deep voice. Then he
spoke to their anguish: ‘And you know, my friends, there comes
a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron
feet of oppression…’ The yesses coalesced into a roar, thousands
of stomping feet made thunder, and soon the church and the
grounds were trembling. When he could make himself heard
again he quietly insisted: ‘Now let us say we are not here
advocating violence. We have overcome that. I want it to be
known throughout Montgomery and throughout this nation that
we are Christian people. The only weapon we have in our hands
this evening is the weapon of protest. But the great glory of
American democracy is the right to protest for right. There will
be no crosses burned at any bus stops in Montgomery. There
will be no white persons pulled out of homes and taken out on
some distant road and murdered. There will be nobody among
us who will stand up and defy the Constitution of the nation.”
King concluded: “We are not wrong in what we are doing. If we
are wrong – the Supreme Court of this nation is wrong. If we are
wrong – God Almighty is wrong! If we are wrong – Jesus of
Nazareth was merely a utopian dreamer and never came down to
earth! If we are wrong – justice is a lie.”

Overrated / Underrated
Each year, American Heritage magazine comes up with some
topics to chew on.
Celebrity Trial
Overrated: The 1925 Scopes Trial. As author Steven Lubet puts
it, despite the Broadway and Hollywood versions, “The actual
Scopes trial decided nothing, established nothing, and changed
nothing, and the fabled showdown between (Clarence) Darrow
and (William Jennings) Bryan basically ended in a draw.”
In the end, as Darrow sought to appeal the constitutionality of the
anti-evolution statute to the U.S. Supreme Court, the case died at
the state level.
Underrated: The O.J. Simpson trial. Lubet comments:
“The nonstop coverage turned it into a reliable punch line on
late-night television, but in fact there was some damn good
lawyering involved, especially on the defense side.”
Lubet cites in particular the cross-examination F. Lee Bailey
conducted of detective Mark Fuhrman, “though it was little
appreciated at the time.”
The Simpson defense team realized it was going to be tough to
prove Fuhrman may have planted the bloody glove, given
Fuhrman’s image as an “ideal cop.” But Bailey had a plan to
discredit him concerning whether Fuhrman had ever spoken the
‘N-word’ or planted evidence.
“And you say under oath that you have not addressed any black
person as a ‘n—–‘ or spoken about blacks as ‘n——‘ in the past
10 years, Detective Fuhrman?” Bailey demanded.
“That’s what I’m saying, sir.”
“So that anyone who comes to this court and quotes you as using
that word in dealing with African-Americans would be a liar,
would they not, Detective Fuhrman?”
“Yes, they would.”
Lubet:
“And that, as Johnnie Cochran would later write, was the ‘sound
of a very large door opening.’ Trial commentators were virtually
unanimous in panning Bailey’s cross-examination for failing to
‘shake’ the witness, but Bailey (and Fuhrman) knew differently.
“Months later the strategy became clear when the defense
introduced Fuhrman’s taped conversations with the screenwriter
Laura Hart McKinney, in which he repeatedly used the word…
“Bailey had deftly tied Fuhrman’s denial of racial slurs to his
denial about planting evidence. And when he was proved a liar
about one assertion, well, the implication about the other was
devastating to the prosecution. You may think what you want
about Simpson’s guilt, but there should be no doubt about the
quality of his lawyers.”
Crooner
Overrated: Bing Crosby, according to author Mark Rotella who
is working on a book about great Italian-American pop singers.
By 1931, Crosby was in a rivalry with a younger baritone by the
name of Russ Columbo. Rotella:
“Crosby was pretty much the party boy, taking his career only
seriously enough to get him from one gig to another. One night
at the Cocoanut Grove, Crosby simply didn’t show up, and the
bandleader, Gus Arnheim, pulled one of his violinists from the
orchestra and put him out front singing. That man was Russ
Columbo. Yes, Bing Crosby redefined singing with the advent
of the microphone. But it was the competition with Russ
Columbo that made him really work for it.”
Underrated: Yup, Russ Columbo. Born in 1908 in Camden, NJ,
Ruggiero Columbo would become known as the “Romeo of
Song” and the “Vocal Valentino,” the latter for his “mysterious
dark looks that made women swoon and men jealous.”
Columbo wrote many of his own songs, rare for that time,
including his first hit, “You Call It Madness (But I Call It
Love).” After this, Columbo and Crosby often raced to see who
could come out with a tune before the other did; especially when
both were in Hollywood, with Columbo also often landing in the
tabloids of the day because of his affairs with Valentino’s former
lover, Pola Negri, Greta Garbo and Carole Lombard.
But there’s a reason why most of us have no idea who Russ
Columbo was. On September 2, 1934, “he was shot dead,
accidentally, by his friend the photographer Lansing Brown.
Thousands of fans came to his Hollywood funeral. The media
attention the battling baritones received was so convincing that
some people even conjectured that Bing Crosby had planned the
hit himself.”
Rotella adds, “Russ Columbo inspired Sinatra, Perry Como, Jerry
Vale, and Mario Lanza just as much as Crosby did, if not more…
His most famous song, ‘Prisoner of Love,’ was interpreted by a
wide range of other singers – from Bing Crosby and Frank
Sinatra to Tiny Tim and Les Paul; from Willie Nelson to Keely
Smith; and from Etta James and Lester Young to the Ink Spots,
the Platters, James Brown, and Flo & Eddie. Bing Crosby had
the range of style…but he could never make love with his words
as Russ Columbo did.”

–The Bowl Championship Series poll…latest top five
1. Texas
2. USC
3. Virginia Tech
4. Georgia
5. Alabama
Uh oh…Texas grabbed the lead and the folks in southern
California are worried big time. Is it possible that the Trojans,
going after an unprecedented third national title in a row, could
be shut out of the title game? Perhaps, especially if Virginia
Tech runs the table against some formidable opposition, while
there is an excellent shot we could have a Georgia – Alabama
SEC championship winner that is undefeated as well.
Where the computers could screw USC is if California and
UCLA, who both remain on the Trojans’ schedule, fall off by
year end, thus hurting the strength of schedule component of the
BCS tally. Everyone in the nation has wanted a USC – Texas
match-up since day one. We can not let some Hal deny us this
right!!!!! [Fake outrage, another free feature of Bar Chat.]
–College football picks: First off, in my recap of last weekend,
my brain wasn’t working as fast as my hands were in typing up
the piece. Thanks to Mark R. for catching an incredibly stupid
mistake concerning Michigan, since corrected….he wrote,
cryptically.
And now this week’s selections, with my 3-5 record on the line.
Take Wake Forest, giving 14, vs. Duke
Take Central Florida and 2 ½ vs. E. Carolina
Take Miami, giving 20, vs. North Carolina
*I also failed to note last time that undefeated Georgia obviously
faces a tough ride unless QB D.J. Shockley can play, beginning
this week against Florida.
–For those of you betting heavily on NFL games this year, with
marriages and finances up in flames, just know that through the
first seven weeks of the season, home teams are winning at a
65.6% pace; a record clip since the 1970 merger with the AFL.
–Among David Letterman’s top 10 perks for getting into the
World Series…as read on-air by Houston’s Roy Oswalt:
8. “More time to discuss with team doctor if Cialis is right for
me.”
7. “With the discount, beer is only 18 bucks.”
3. “World Series MVP gets to throw switch at Saddam’s
execution.”
2. “Clemens used his AARP card to get us cheap hotel rooms.”
And the No. 1 perk for getting into the World Series…
“If Steinbrenner wants me next year, my price is now a billion
dollars!”
[If any of you stayed up until 2:20 AM ET the other night to see
the end of the Houston – Chicago game, you have my sympathy.]
–After my comments from last time concerning Michael
Jordan’s interview on “60 Minutes” with Ed Bradley, I have to
make note of those of New York Times columnist Harvey
Araton.
“CBS spent all week promoting Ed Bradley’s interview with
Jordan as if it would be a sitdown with Osama, and it turned out
that Jordan said nothing we hadn’t heard before….
“The big exclusive was just a show of cross-promotional
marketing…Jordan was just reminding us that even without the
ball, he is still in the shill game, though, as usual, he owes the
world nothing…
“Before he returns to the golf course, please know that his
sneakers, book and brand underwear are on sale at an outlet near
you, and – calling all investment bankers – it costs only $15,000
a head to be trash-talked and dunked on by the 42-year-old
legend himself….
“Based on the ’60 Minutes’ piece, the only activism evident in
Jordan’s life is acted out at his fantasy camps, clips of which
were as depressing as any I can recall of an aging Willie Mays
stumbling around in center field, for entirely different reasons….
“There was one last mind game, one predictable parting shot at
his successors-under-siege – ‘the kids today,’ who are given
‘things they haven’t earned,’ and who only care about their cold,
hard cash.
“And from whom, pray tell, did they learn that? Sadly, not
surprisingly, ’60 Mintues’ didn’t say.”
–Killer Hornets!!!!!!! Run for your lives!!!!!!!!
Goodness gracious. Because of dry weather in Japan, hornets are
breeding in record #s these days and these aren’t ordinary
hornets, sports fans. No, these are the Vespa mandarinia
japonica, “a fearsome black-and-orange creature whose queen
grows to be more than 5cm (about two inches). It lives in
woodlands and preys mainly on other insects, such as honeybees,
which it can kill at the rate of 40 a minute.” [Richard Lloyd
Parry / London Times]
Well, with the destruction of their forest and mountain habitat,
the hornets are moving into the cities. Bad news for humans. As
it is, 20 to 40 Japanese die from hornet stings each year and it
appears this toll is rising. Five died in August, for example.
“Death by hornet sting is caused by anaphylactic shock, an
allergic reaction leading to unconsciousness and breathing
failure. ‘It is a pain that you can never imagine until you have
experienced it,’ Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa
University in Tokyo said. He should know – he has been stung
200 times. ‘It is profoundly shocking, like a red-hot 15cm nail
rammed into your body. I have never grown accustomed to the
pain.’” [Richard Parry]
As if that’s not bad enough, these creatures can fly 25 mph!!!!
–In Nepal on Monday, 18 mountaineers (7 French and 11
sherpas) died in an avalanche while attempting to climb Mount
Kangguru. No word on whether an Aussie marsupial is
suspected of releasing the snow from up top in retaliation for the
people of Nepal misspelling the name.
–Thank god…as much as I love college football season, when
your alma mater’s best major sport is basketball you can’t wait
for it to begin. And so it is with my Wake Forest Demon
Deacons who would be a consensus pre-season top three,
nationally, were it not for the disgraceful departure of point
guard Chris Paul for the NBA.
Anyway, the preseason ACC poll, as selected by the league’s
media, is out.
1. Duke
2. Boston College
3. Wake Forest
4. North Carolina State
5. Maryland
6. North Carolina
7. Miami…major sleeper
8. Virginia Tech
9. Georgia Tech
10. Clemson
11. Florida State
12. Virginia
Preseason All-ACC
Eric Williams and Justin Gray (Wake)
J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams (Duke)
Guillermo Diaz (Miami…exciting player)
Stay tuned for your EXCLUSIVE NCAA title prediction.
–Last chat I brought up NASCAR’s Tony Stewart and his heated
words for fellow driver Greg Biffle after the two got into it at
Martinsville. To which my brother chimed in.
“I love Tony Stewart. The drivers have become so drab and
‘polished’ I can’t tell one from the other, except for Junior and
Stewart. Stewart doesn’t give a damn who he tees off on and
he’s a guy who, like Kenny Schrader, will race anything,
anywhere. Supposedly, he bought a midget racer and went to a
dirt track under an assumed name and won and the crowd only
knew it was him when he went to get his crummy little trophy.”
–Forgot to mention last time that East Stroudsburg University’s
Jimmy Terwilliger has extended his consecutive games streak
with a touchdown pass to a Division II record 31 straight. But
ESU fan Johnny Mac is worried. They probably won’t receive a
first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs.
–Ken’s Excellent Motorcycle Adventure
Wrapping it up…
Day 10: Tuesday, June 14, 2005…Braintree, MA to Brattleboro,
VT…225 miles. We left the motel at 10:30, got a late start to
miss the rush hour traffic into Boston. Rode in through the “Big
Dig,” the part I-93 takes through Beantown that was put below
ground to help with the congestion on city streets. It was
originally to cost $2.5 billion and be completed in 1998. Now
the cost is up to $16 billion and opened in 2004. Well, it
continues to leak, as you may have seen on television, and 10’ by
10’ tiles continue to fall off the ceiling, i.e., big lawsuits. That
day after we rode through here, a section fell from the roof and
cracked a car windshield. This would not be good if it had been
one of us on a bike. We rode around Boston and out by
Harvard and MIT, after which we stopped at a BMW dealer in
Shrewsbury to pick up some oil. Then we went to the Indian
Motorcycle Museum in Springfield, MA. We had a hard time
finding it as it’s in an industrial area. The place was a real
disappointment and not worth the stop. Rode through light to
moderate rain just about the whole day. Arrived at motel in
Brattleboro, VT at 7:30 p.m. The country in northwest
Massachusetts and Vermont is great; woods and curvy roads, but
the rain dampened our spirits.
Day 11: June 15…Brattleboro, VT to Bangor, ME…490 miles.
Left the motel at 7:00 a.m. Cold, clammy, wet start. We had
reduced the ride today by about 100 miles. We were going to
ride to the top of Mt. Washington, but heard it had snowed the
previous day. The road up the mountain is 8 miles long, a
private road, partly gravel. They restrict the vehicles allowed,
even some types of cars are not allowed, so we decided not to
tackle it in the rain. By 10:00 a.m., the temperature was in the
high 40s, heavy rain, miserable riding, but pretty country; that is
what we could see of it. Stopped for gas and coffee at a
convenience store and several bikers were there waiting out the
rain. We waited 45 minutes before going on. Went through lots
of construction at about 11:30. Workers told us to be very
careful as a Harley rider had gone down about a half hour before.
Road was mostly packed mud for about two miles. It was cold,
cold, cold. Thank god for heated grips. Kyle is thankful he has a
heated seat. Arrived at motel at 5:15. Tough day.
Day 12: June 16…Bangor, ME to Moncton, NB…403 miles.
Left motel at 7:00 a.m. in drizzly, 50 degree, miserable weather.
Everything is wet or damp. I didn’t think we would ever get dry
and warm again. Bikes are filthy, but running good. We passed
pine forest, low mountains and many streams and rivers along
the way. The country is awesome, what we can see of it in the
rain. Crossed the border into Canada at Calais, New Brunswick.
Stopped at Boston Shoe Store and bought Kris new waterproof
boots. His shoes were soaking wet and his feet were freezing.
Arrived at motel at 3:30; cold, wet and depressed. This is the
third day in a row riding in rain and fog.
Day 13: June 17…Moncton, NB…0 miles. It rained all night
and it was still raining in the morning. The forecast was for rain
all day. We were very tired and decided to stay at the motel for
the day to rest up and see if the weather would clear. I did very
little, but nap, watch TV and eat.
Day 14: June 18…Moncton, NB to Port Hastings, NS…482
miles. Left motel at 7:30, in a steady drizzle, 55 degrees.
Stopped at 11:00 for breakfast. Finally stopped raining for the
first time in five days. Kris’s rain suit was coming apart with all
the hard use. Stopped at a motorcycle shop and bought him a
new one. By 3:00 p.m., the sky was sunny and about 60 degrees.
The country was low forest and lots of lakes. Nova Scotia is
similar to the country in northern Minnesota or parts of Alaska.
Arrived at motel at 6:45. After unloading our gear, rode about
two miles to a Chinese restaurant.
Day 15: June 19…Port Hastings, NS to North Sydney, NS…328
miles. Kyle said that as it was Father’s Day, he would pay all
my expenses for the day. Left motel at 7:45. Rode north up the
west coast of Cape Breton Island. Country is awesome. Pine
forests and great views of deep bays into the Atlantic Ocean all
along the coast. Kris and I rode ahead of Kyle, got lost (not easy
to do with only two roads to pick from) and wasted 30 minutes
finding Kyle. We vowed that we wouldn’t separate again.
Stopped for lunch at Cheticamp, NS. Great views from the
restaurant, down the bay into Atlantic. Off and on drizzle as we
rode the Cabot Trail. This is the road that circles the northern
peninsula of Cape Breton Island and connects to various fishing
villages. The road is fun to ride, curves, low mountains and great
little villages. You see fishing boats and lobster pots all along
the Trail. Arrived at the Clansman Motel in North Sydney at
5:00.
Editor: And here’s where Ken takes a detour. He called home as
he did each night and found out there had been a death in the
family. Imagine being stuck in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, and
having to go back to Omaha. He ended up flying a few hours
later from Sydney, NS to Halifax, NS to Toronto to Chicago to
Omaha. Incredibly, with a two-hour time difference between
Nova Scotia and Omaha, he arrived home by 1:30 p.m. on
Monday, June 20, after getting up at 2:00 a.m. the same day.
In case you’re wondering, Ken was able to leave his bike with
the people at the motel and a week later Ken returned to Nova
Scotia to pick it up. [Omaha to Chicago to Montreal to Halifax
to Sydney. This time in 11 hours, including losing two going the
other way.] As Ken put it, what great people there are in the
world to help a total stranger out as he had been in Nova Scotia.
Meanwhile, Kris and Kyle had been riding all over Canada and
then finally hooked back up with Ken in Erie, PA on June 29.
While grandson Kris went back to his job in Maryland, Kyle
eventually rode back to California from Omaha in 36 hours,
qualifying for the “Burnburner” ride by the Iron Butt
Association. [ironbutt.com]
Ken couldn’t have been more complimentary of all the terrific
Canadians he met on the trip and added this.
“Things I learned about the next trip: rain can spoil the best day;
the highway signs in New Jersey are either non-existent or
confusing; wet, packed mud in construction areas is slippery;
most people are great, even in New York City; this is a
marvelous country we live in; you can get from one end of this
continent to the other quickly…it only takes money for the
airline ticket, essentially; riding in the western part of the US is
more fun than the eastern; long distance motorcycle riding is
addictive and I hope I never get too old to go on another one; we
are spending an awful lot of money on security from terrorists
that is worthless and bothering everybody, without doing any
good.”
Thanks for sharing the ride, Ken. Next time I’m in Omaha we’ll
head to Ted Turner’s place again.
–Wellington Mara, RIP. What an incredible life “Well” had.
Imagine, he was on the sidelines on Oct. 18, 1925, as a 9-year-
old ball boy for his father’s new football team, the New York
Giants, and he was involved in the organization in one form or
another for the next 80 years! It was Well’s father, Tim, who
first purchased the Giants in ’25 for somewhere between $500
and $2,500. [The Mara family would then sell 50% of the team
in 1991 to Robert Tisch for $75 million.]
According to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, “Mara
made perhaps his most significant contribution to the league in
the early 1960s, when he and his brother Jack, owners of the
richest team in the biggest market, agreed to a revenue-sharing
plan that allowed franchises from smaller markets such as
Pittsburgh and Green Bay to compete on equal financial
footing.”
Mara, working with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle and
Cleveland Browns’ owner Art Modell, got other owners such as
Dan Reeves of the Los Angeles Rams and George Halas of the
Bears to go along and they ended up with the first television
packages that helped make the sport of professional football.
Being in the New York area, it’s amazing how you don’t hear
one bad word said about Wellington Mara, nor have I ever over
the years. New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupica:
“He was the last great sportsman. We measure owners
differently now, in championships and profit and headlines and
even face time. Others have won more than the Giants.
Certainly other owners have made more money. There was
never a better owner than (Mara) because there was never a
better man even in bad times. He honored his team and his
league. And there was never anyone who loved a team like this,
or ever spent more time around one; from that first Sunday at the
Polo Grounds after Mass with his father Tim…It is almost
impossible to get your mind around this kind of career, in any
kind of business. Eighty years a Giant.”
I’ll probably have more on Wellington Mara’s life and times next
chat after I collect some stories.
–I was about to go to post when I saw the piece on ESPN.com
concerning Sheryl Swoopes and her coming out of the closet.
Now I can’t decide what’s more important…Iraq, energy prices,
Scooter and Karl, or this earth-shattering development. Then I
remembered I never gave a damn about the WNBA. But if you
want to catch her in action, you can book a cruise on Olivia!
Top 3 songs for the week of 10/26/74: #1 “Then Came You”
(Dionne Warwick & Spinners) #2 “You Haven’t Done Nothin”
(Stevie Wonder) #3 “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” (Bachman-
Turner Overdrive)…and…#4 “Jazzman” (Carole King*) #5
“The Bitch Is Back” (Elton John) #8 “Sweet Home Alabama”
(Lynyrd Skynyrd) #10 “Love Me For A Reason” (The Osmonds
…for LT)
*This is really embarrassing, but I was reading something on
Neil Sedaka and I had totally forgotten his song “Oh! Carol” was
written for Carole King…the two having gone to high school
together. Of course back then she was Carole Klein and Neil had
a major crush on her. Hell, I would have too if I knew she’d be
wracking up the hits a few years later, know what I’m sayin’?!
NFL Quiz Answers: 1) Most interceptions, game: The Chicago
Cardinals’ Jim Hardy who threw 8 in a single contest. That
season, though, if you take out that one game, he wasn’t that bad.
17 TD passes, 24 INT overall. For his career, 1946-52, Hardy
had 54 TD, 73 INT. Graduate of USC. 2) Most years leading
league with lowest INT percentage, five: Sammy Baugh,
Washington, 1940, 42, 44, 45, 47. But it’s not like he was
wracking up super stats in those years in terms of TD passes vs.
INT. For his career (1937-52), Sammy tossed 187 TD but threw
203 INT. Granted, it was a whole different ballgame in those
days. 3) Most times sacked, career: John Elway, 516. Kind of
surprising, isn’t it? [The record for one game, incidentally, is 12
held by Bert Jones and Warren Moon. Equally surprising in
some respects.] 4) Most rushing attempts, game: 48, James
Wilder, Tampa Bay, Oct. 1983. Wilder did not reach 200 yards
in this effort against the Steelers. Somehow I’m remembering he
ended up around 150. 5) Most all-purpose yards, game: Glyn
Milburn, Denver, Dec. 1995 vs. Seattle. Milburn had 404 yards
returning kicks, rushing, and receiving.
Next Bar Chat, Tuesday…more over / underrated and lots of
