One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Memo To McCarthy: Please, no more empty backfield sets when your team in on the 1 yard line - and you have a battering ram like Lacy available.

Jones, Hawk and a couple of other mobile non-skill guys are on the hands team to run interference. Their job is to knock the head off the guy running headlong into the scrum trying to recover the ball. They are the wedge of an onside kick.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Here's a good example/explanation of it: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-am/0ap...-free-kick-huh Apparently it has its origins in rugby. I wonder if Slocum knows that rule. You'd think they go over all those scenarios. The Lions obviously tried to sky a free kick short to create a scrum. The Packers were obviously unprepared (sigh) for this situation. They needed to make sure to have designated hands guys at each level/line and on each side of the field to call for a fair catch, instead of the keystone cops drill we got the other night. It would have been so cool if MM was aware of this and took a shot at a field goal. It wouldn't have been blocked at least! The only down-side would be if Crosby misses it becomes like a kick-off, so you risk giving the ball back, which as it turns out is what the Packers ended up doing anyway.

Does anyone know the rules on the Lions onside attempt? Could numerous players have waved for a fair catch? Could the Lions have slammed into any players not signaling fair catch in an attempt to disrupt the catch?
I'm not sure I have ever seen that play before.
Go PACK

When Caldwell was the head coach of the Colts, Indianapolis hired former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel solely to serve as an advisor on instant replay challenges.
Sure, but that was kinda like "Work release" or a halfway house to ease Tressel out of football prison and back into polite society.
