Julies gay Super Bowl Debate

Are you saying this with a straight face? Seriously, can anyone be this misinformed? Or stupid?
Then I guess the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which certainly cannot know as much about the history of football as you do, must have it all wrong in the excerpt from the biography of Benny Friedman that I reproduce here
:Benjamin Friedman. . .NFL’s first great passer . . . Threw league record 11 touchdown passes as rookie, 1927 . . . Set another record with 20 TDs, 1929 . . . Led league in touchdown passes four consecutive years (1927-1930) . . . His 66 career touchdown passes was an NFL record for years. . . Triple-threat player, could run, pass, kick . . . Born March 18, 1905 in Cleveland, Ohio . . . Died November 23, 1982, at age of 77.
I wonder how a guy can lead the NFL in TD passes for four years before you claim they even legalized the forward pass?
MY GOD, will one of the decent Steeler fans on this board please bring a leash with you when you come here so that your mutts won't piss on the carpet?
please understand. The NFL is independent from the pro football hall of fame. THE NFL DID NOT LEGALIZE THE FORWARD PASS UNTIL 1933.
The pro football hall of fame is NOT THE NFL you doofus buttwad backwards ass pansie
The NFL does not have stats for passing before 1933

umm... huh?
The um... Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrines NFL players and lists their biographies.
Just because they don't have easily found and recorded stats prior to 1933, does not mean they don't exist.
Also, why would the Pro Football Hall of Fame say something that, as you claim, was patently untrue?

From wikipedia
In several forms of football a forward pass is when the ball is thrown in the direction that the offensive team is trying to move in, towards the defensive team's goal line. Although forward passes had been tried as early as 1876, the first legal forward pass in American football took place in 1906, after a change in rules. Current rules regulate who may throw and who may receive a forward pass, and under what circumstances, as well as how the defensive team may try to prevent a pass from being completed. The primary pass-thrower is the quarterback, and statistical analysis is used to determine a quarterback's success rate at passing in various situations, as well as a team's overall success at the "passing game."

Also from the same Wikipedia article:
According to National Football League history,[30] it legalized the forward pass from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage on February 25, 1933. Before that rule change, a forward pass had to be made from 5 or more yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Could this be what he's referring to and erroneously reporting that all forward passes were illegal prior to 1933?

i believe the kids would call that owned. go ahead dumbass, please, please defend yourself. I highly doubt he'll say another word on this forum. Hey kid, next time do a tad more research before you talk. Going to one website and halfheartedly reading something just makes you look stupid and worthless to society. Coincidence is he's a Steelers fan as well? haha.

Bingo! someone in Brownstown gets it. The NFL finally legalized and recognized passing stats in 1933.
wow, someone intelligent.

talk about selective reading, holy shiza! They legalized all forward passes no matter how far you were behind the line in 1933. However, forward passes were allowed prior to 1933 as long as you were 5 or more yards behind the line of scrimmage.
-
wrong. the nfl legalized passing in 1933 and since then stats were kept.
sorry browns but those are the facts.

Love it, keep it coming hillbilly.
The first forward pass in a professional football game may have been thrown in an Ohio League game played on October 25, 1906. The Ohio League, which traced its history to the 1890s, was the predecessor of today's NFL

Eddie Cochem, the Saint Louis University coach, was the first to use the forward pass in 1906. It wasn't legalized in the NFL until 1933.

Specification of the size of the ball for the American game came in 1912, but it was still essentially a rugby ball. Increased use of the forward pass encouraged adoption of a narrower ball, starting with changes in the 1920s which enhanced rifled throwing and also spiral punting.
Why would they change the shape of the ball if there were no forward passes. Love it. OWNED.

Yea, the guy is an idiot. They change rules all the time. Did someone not ever "sack" a QB before they began keeping stats for it in the 70s? Tell that to Deacon Jones.
