I would say Jim Kelly. He took a team to four straight Super Bowls. Marino had one. Football is the sport where team accomplishments outweigh individual stats. Sure Marino has great numbers, but FB is different in that you have 11 guys on each side of the ball who have to be in sync. Hoops and hockey have 5. Baseball is unique as a team game where individual performance matters the most. You have a pitcher and a batter and when a ball is put in play you have 1 or 2 or at most 3 guys who have to be in sync on defense like a double play or caught fly ball or second to first groundout.

So I say Jim Kelly was the best QB to never win a Super Bowl. Four times he was there. Fran Tarkenton is second.

Interesting article. This is a gift. When you consider how baseball is popular in Korea, second after soccer, and hoops has fans in Korea you wonder if the NFL will catch on. Of course Korean culture in tv, movies, music, and food is catching on in the US.

What is damning though is this quote.

“They probably wouldn’t like it,” said Shin Youn-hie, Daegwang Elementary’s vice principal. “We participated in this program because of the English reading element. But who knows? Maybe one of these children will grow up to be interested.”

Kudos to them though for requiring third graders to have a reading element in another language. In Korea all kids are taught English beginning in grade school.

What P4 school is in NYC?

If you base it on Census Bureau MSA's and media markets Rutgers is in a county that is part of the New York City tristate market of NY, parts of NJ, and parts of CT. It's about 20 million people in the NYC market area.

Most people wouldn't consider NYC a Rutgers town, but they are considered the local P4 team for marketing and media purposes.

From what I've seen and heard from people is that ND and Michigan have a lot of fans in NYC. Penn State as the historical best Eastern Independent team and big ten membership also has a small following. Syracuse I've been told has some fans as well.

Chicago is interesting regarding college football fandom. Chicago is the HQ of the Big Ten and people in Chicagoland are college football fans. Northwestern has fans, but it's small. Illinois if it ever managed to win in FB would have a bigger following. ND has a lot of fans. But Chicago also has a lot of fans of Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Indiana, Purdue, and Iowa. The school I just listed have multiple bars in Chicagoland that are known as bars for fans of those teams. If you want to watch the Michigan State-Rutgers game, but don't have cable or pay for streaming you can go to BWW or a Michigan State bar in Chicago. A lot of the Big Ten grads from the original 10 end up in Chicagoland. Same if you want to watch the Wisconsin Maryland game.

Gene Chizik and Gene Stallings. It's the name.

There is no constitutional right to play college football, but there is a constitutional right to attend a public university.

Isn’t she the chick that has been in the New Balance commercials for the last few years?

Yes that is her.

Permanent DST would be awesome. I love the longer summer days in the Northern Latitudes. Being able to play ball or hang out when it's still light out at 9:00 pm is great.

Good. Teach them a lesson. High school sports is now the last bastion where students really do play the game as a game. Well until Texas and Alabama allow NIL for high school kids.

There's a very slight chance they could hurt the recruiting class of 2027, but not very likely. Sure maybe a handful of recruits could be turned off by this happening, but if a student was leaning toward Ohio State or Penn State anyways the gerrymandering is not going to be the deciding factor. I have never heard of an athlete stating politics is why he is not choosing a school.
