Archie Manning wearing #4 in a Vikings uniform looked odd...but I can't find a pic.

Jim Taylor, 1967:

I know Paul Hornung never played for the Saints, but did he ever dress out in a Saints uniform?

Sosa started off as a Ranger, so how is it weird that he retired there?

good one, mstreet. i remember he threw more int's than td's in that rams getup with his shitty knees.

dude, he threw more int than touchdowns as a Jet too. Most overrated player in NFL history.

It wasn't close either. In his 13 NFL seasons, he threw more TDs than INTs just twice. 11 times in his career he was in the red with his TD to INT!

And his "best" season he was only +3 at 18-15

that blog you linked is total garbage.

Making arguments like "he is a gambler" when talking about his INT count. So is Brett favre. The difference is Brett actually threw TDs as well.

And also saying his era has to he taken in to account when looking at his numbers. Well I did take his era into account. And Len Dawson, Fran Tarkenton, and sonny jurgensun all played in the same era, and all put up impressive numbers. They deserve their HOF billing
