The definitive list: Top 10 NFL quarterbacks
We break out another CHFF classic, this one from January, as we take a little time here to get our sh*t together behind the scenes. Rest assured that we, like a pigskin Patton, will continue our quest to crush the lesser football analysts, those evil Nazis of opinion. Don't forget, even old Blood & Guts himself took a little respite at the height of the action in 1944, before rolling across France and into the Fatherland.
The niftiest pigskin nicknames With the dreaded gridiron doldrums descending upon us, we enter the realm of pigskin minutiae and trivia with a look at our favorite football nicknames, including a fleet of Crimson Tide legends, Bear Bryant, Broadway Joe and Hog Hannah, along with 17 other all-time great literary additions to football lore.
CHFF classic: the NFL's Triple Crown In both horse racing and baseball, each year brings another failed pursuit of the Triple Crown. But the prolonged droughts in those sports are nothing compared to the one in the NFL, where there hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since Pittsburgh's Bill Dudley, pictured here, pulled off the remarkable feat in 1946.
The greatest pass defenses We'll be taking it easy for a few days here now that the post-draft frenzy is over. In the meantime, we're taking a look back at a new CHFF classic published just last month.
Hu-Mel-iation! The 2008 mock-draft scorecard If you took "Mel Kiper will nail 25 percent of his mock draft picks" and the over, you lost!
Draught part 2: tastes great and more fact-filling We top off a pigskin pint of dark, frothy gridiron Guinness with part two of our Draught Day review.
Pour it on! Five eternal lessons of Draught Day The day of the Draught taught us that Michael Vick will never take another snap in the NFL, that Hogs rule, and that beer poured from the tap is mighty tasty. So keep 'em coming, barkeep, we got a long drive ahead of us!
The eternal mystery of Draft Day Are we alone in the universe? Is there a divine power? And why do NFL teams race to draft first-round wide receivers more than any other position when they go belly-up faster than the lake fish of Chernobyl?
