Not basketball. What made Pro Football, beginning in 1958, was the ballet of the deep passing game -- Johnny Unitas. Which inevitably led to static pass blocking. Which led to oversize pass rushers and injured passers. Which led to extreme violence downfield against receivers. Which led to rule changes enhancing the air game. Which led to the only possible anti measure: even bigger, meaner pass rushes and even more stationary pass blockers. And even more injured passers. <br /><br />Already the game is evolving back to the run (option). This can only go so far, however, unless downfield hand fighting is restored to the defensive backfield tactical tool box and the rule requiring two feet in bounds is reverted to the college rule (1 foot), which will widen the playing field to what it should be. Any time the game's rules are changed to make more offensive players pass eligible it will have the effect of loosening up reliance on the pass rush stampede, which is, frankly, what is killing the game's athletes.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412383601913679387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982279215501434111.post-2319160336719328642016-01-27T12:41:59.126-08:002016-01-27T12:41:59.126-08:00My wife used to work in the same building at Embar...My wife used to work in the same building at Embarcadero Center, and saw Mr.Hart almost every morning.

The space it occupies is the ship's wardroom. ADM Clark deserves credit for his beacon light; ADM Mitscher, who rarely gets enough credit, deserves to be remembered for lighting up the seas around the Hornet. On a dark night at sea few things would be more dazzling than a full task force lit up as if for shore leave.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412383601913679387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982279215501434111.post-84178029059297197432015-07-27T09:09:50.611-07:002015-07-27T09:09:50.611-07:00Having known George since I was 15 (quite a while)...Having known George since I was 15 (quite a while), I'll second that !<br /><br />Thank you, George.

And that era. I avoided the draft by signing up for AFROTC, and fought to stay in the program. I thought it was important to have officers with a liberal education participating in the decision-making process, rather than leave it solely to the academy grads. No doubt we need their perspectives as well, but a good balance is always needed.
