If memory serves me correctly, "ineligible numbers" were not always required
to report in the NFL.  The play that generated the rule went something like
this:

Upon coming to the line, all the receivers lined up on one side as if for a
"Hail Mary" pass.  The linemen on the opposite side of the center lined up,
but slightly behind the line of scrimmage.  All the receivers were on the line,
so the center became "eligible".  Instead of passing the ball to the
quarterback, the center simply picked it up, made an "attempt" at a block,
and ran downfield with the ball.

My memory is a bit hazy as to who, when and where, maybe someone out there
remembers.

Has anyone considered adding a FAQ to this newsgroup?

Perhaps geared toward the foreign readers and new football fans. 
It would be easy to come up with plenty of information. We could write about
the history of the league, have a list of current teams and their pasts,
a list of super-bowls, home stadiums, even game rules, major records, 
free agency, and all kinds of other tidbits.
 
I know little about REC newsgroups, is there any jurisdiction for creating
a FAQ? It might be fun to do in my spare time here at work.

This season the Steelers seem to be surprising a lot of people (including 
Steeler fans). So perhaps that is why there hasn't been a lot of posting
from "US Pittsburghers". We really don't know what to expect from week to
week.     So far they've played some very exciting football and they're
very young (average age approx. 25.6). That coupled with a new coaching staff
make the Steelers an absolute nightmare for other teams to prepare for.
    This Sunday they play the Bill's, one of the best teams in football,
at Buffalo. This will be a big test for Pittsburgh. They always seem to have
trouble up there (then again, who doesn't).    I think the Steelers have 
a very good chance.  If they can establish any kind of running game and 
play the same aggressive pass defense we've gotten used to this season,
this could well be one of the best games to watch this season.
We'll see 4:00pm Sunday, NBC...

I would hardly call Philedelphia's defense "okay".  Until Emmitt ran for
163 yards, they had a streak of 54 consecutive games not allowing a *team*
over 100 yards, never mind an individual rusher.  More to the point, they
have not allowed a rushing touchdown all season.

I don't think this is as uncommon a phenomenom as you obviously do.  Until
Sanders gained 108 yards last Sunday, Dallas hadn't allowed a 100 yard
rusher, either.  It seems to me that a lot of teams are employing a two,
three, or even four-back attack, rather than relying on one person, so
while individual stats suffer, as a whole the team can be devastating on
the ground.  KC is a good example of this.

Hi,

Lawrence Taylor underwent surgery yesterday at the Cornell Medical Center in
New York.  The process took one hour: he is expected to start running in 4
months or so.

Since his retirement notice earlier this year, many folks have harbored the
rumour that LT may return to football if he close friend Bill Parcells returns
to coaching.  LTs friends seem to think that this may be true.

Oh man, getting both Parcells and LT back to the GIANTS ... dare I dream?

I'm sure the Buffalo fans think it's a funny gag (and
I do to) but I'm not so sure the Bills coaches and 
players will find it that amusing.
Things like this get used by the opposing team to fire 
themselves up, not that the Dolphins should be lacking
in motivation for this game.

Before every Packer game , and to be very specific
before 4.00 p.m. Friday you have to predict the tortal
number of special team blunders that Pack will make
that Sunday. No range values or weightage. There is 
no mailing or anything . I will post the result
(if the stats are not very vulgar) on Monday
(and it depends on my state of mind). And if
some day they turn around we can have a pool
for Special Team Plays Made this Sunday.

    Someone (I don't know exactly who) suggested that the Bills/Dolphins

after the Super Bowl. This was THE BET I. Then someone (I don't know exactly

Pick of the Week -          Dallas at Detroit            Dallas by 14
																				Look for Emmit Smith to run all over a banged up
																				team.  Revenge from last year's playoff game!

Key Matchup -               Pittsburgh at Buffalo        Buffalo by 3
                    It sure is tough to win in Buffalo in sub-freezing
																				temps.  Pittsburgh in spot for big let down!

Upset of the Week -         Green Bay at Giants          G.B. by 3
                    Let's face it, the Giants are not good enough

Good news for the Dolphins, their punter Roby and backup Safety Bobby Harden

Let's hope that Offerdahl isn't needed this weekend so that he may rest and
