I appreciate the feedback and ideas. Thanks

Just a reminder, at present, video clips cannot be longer than 60 seconds, which significantly limits what I can post here as opposed to the other app.

It'll be more photos and fewer vids until Blue Sky hopefully ramps things up
As engagement on here has been virtually non-existent for me 😂, and given the poor current video capabilities of this app, AND the inability to post a poll...

What content would you rather see on here from me?

• Random football pics?
• "On This Date" stuff?
• Football birthdays?
• Other?

The strike greatly obscures the ridiculous season Wes Chandler had. He still holds the record for most receiving yards per game in a season. Of course, he wasn't given MVP (no receiver ever is), nor was Dan Fouts. Somehow, PK Mark Moseley won. The times were different, amigos.

One of the greatest catches in #NFL history — the #Chargers' Wes Chandler at Candlestick

And what a seed thrown by Dan Fouts under heavy duress, too.

NFL'S FIRST THANKSGIVING OVERTIME GAME

Trailing the #Lions 17-3 in the fourth, the #Bears rally to tie the game on the final play of regulation.

Stunningly, Chicago's Dave Williams returns the OT kickoff 95 yards to win it, 23-17

It is then the shortest #NFL overtime ever (:16)

After a freak Thanksgiving snowfall in Irving, the #Cowboys block the #Dolphins' potential 40-yard game-winning FG attempt with just seconds left...

..but Dallas's Leon Lett touches the ball downfield which Miami recovers.

The Dolphins then kick a field goal to win, 16-14.
