Rod "The Bod" Brind'Amour of the Carolina Hurricanes. Most of the players say that he is the fittest guy on the team and it isn't even close. He's 53 and he works out for multiple hours every day.

I am in the minority, but I never particularly cared for 1953 Bowman. Then I managed to get my hands on a few that were really nice, that had clear photos and no fuzz. Then I realized what I didn't...

The numbers of that time were mind boggling. Bichette's numbers in 1996 and 1998 were better than many MVP's of the 1950's-1970's. Yet he finished 20th and 21st in the voting. I have no idea if he...

I can't comment on that, because I was so disgusted after the Saints-Rams game that I turned the tv off and my wife and I worked on a jigsaw puzzle. We won't watch the Super Bowl either.
