As a couple of spring leagues plan to launch in the coming two years Michael Dickson Jersey , both could learn some valuable lessons from the experiences of the USFL. Coincidentally, a new book looks at the rise and fall of a league that the 45th President dubbed “small potatoes” — despite owning one of the teams.
Jeff Pearlman joined the #PFTPM podcast on Wednesday to discuss Football for a Buck: The Crazy Rise and Crazier Demise of the USFL. It’s an excellent look at how it could have gone so well, and how it all went so poorly.
Plenty of Hall of Famers (including Jim Kelly, pictured with the Houston Gamblers) and Pro Bowlers got started in the USFL Jerry Hughes Jersey , a league that the NFL publicly dismissed, privately feared, and even more privately plotted to destroy. The book debuts in September; you can (and should) listen to Pearlman’s description of it now.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has avoided interceptions like no other quarterback in NFL history.
Rodgers has just 78 interceptions in his NFL career, and his rate of throwing an interception on 1.6 percent of his passes is the lowest for any quarterback in NFL history.
To put it into perspective: Rodgers’ career-high in interceptions is 13 Tim Williams Jersey , which he threw in his first season as the Packers’ starter. If Rodgers plays until he’s 50 and throws 14 interceptions every single year, he’ll still have fewer career interceptions than Brett Favre.
Rodgers is 10th in NFL history in passing touchdowns, but he’s tied for 159th in NFL history in interceptions. The quarterback directly in front of Rodgers on the career touchdown list, Ben Roethlisberger Vinny Curry Jersey , has 96 more interceptions than Rodgers. The quarterback directly behind Rodgers on the career touchdown list, John Elway, has 148 more interceptions than Rodgers.
With Rodgers looking for a new contract this offseason, it is easy to see why he thinks he deserves to be the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history.
