  1. Sports What Ifs.

    Bengals seemed hellbent on Akili Smith (to the point that they turned down a far worse trade from my Saints), so I doubt anything would convince them otherwise (especially with Mickey Brown). McNabb, with the same downdraft pieces would have a slightly more impressive offensive attitude, but I...

    I mean, there is always the Browns taking the DAWG POUND DYNASTY route in trading down the pick and picking up the Ricky Williams trade lol
  3. Sports What Ifs.

    I could see the Nelson pickup, just because of Manning. And, with getting a RB option in Chubb as well as some defensive pickups and a receiver, I could see Manning running the table (with the close enough games, the Giants could have gone 11-5 that season). However, I could see him going for a...

    Leaves a massive change for the Patriots in terms of just a different atmosphere. No Belichick would probably cause Kraft to return to splitting the HC and GM positions back to two separate people to work with. I would concur with Alt in McDaniels taking the job (most veteran member of the staff...

    Well, the best case I have heard, especially on here, has been Canada with the CFL taking a slight tilt towards league via taking the "play the ball" rule over the snap back and being early enough to butterfly the forward pass from being introduced. Add the non-forward pass West coast system...

    So, a bit reaching, but what would be the long term consequences if American football split over the forward pass? Like one camp remained against the forward pass while going on the system of downs while the other kept it. Would the long-term just be a gradual effort of OTL rugby league or a...

    So, a subtle difference here and there that I had considered: WI Brady was injured in the 2001 AFC Championship with that hit from Lethon Flowers and Bledsoe was the starter for not only the rest of the AFC Championship, but also Super Bowl XXXVI?

    Which, unless they are firing O'Brien on a 21-37, I do not envy Darnold, Allen, Mayfield or anyone coming into the circus of Houston. And all the blessings to Kizer if the man decided to trade the pick for a rebuild of a team
  9. Sports What Ifs.

    Would that mean the flame out of Kizer in Houston instead of Cleveland?
  10. Sports What Ifs.

    I would think that a team that would crave for a higher end first round QB like Rivers would be the Browns or even the Cards. The only reason why I suppose that they picked Detroit was moreso because of some poor Lions fan.
  11. Sports What Ifs.

    So ESPN did an althist on the legendary QB of my team and did actually bring up a POD I have always considered: trading for Tony Romo and keeping him and Peyton together as the QB-Coach GOAT duo. However, I am more interested in thoughts as to who would be a good pick for backup/successor? I...

    SEGA and Sony agree to collaborate for the upcoming SEGA Mercury, bringing the console market back into competition with a SEGA unafraid to make bold decisions and adapt to new practices. SEGA would eventually be absorbed by Sony, becoming the gaming division of the appliance juggernaut...

    Tom Baker is not cast as the Fourth Doctor (that honor going to Ron Moody, as stated: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/your-personal-pop-culture-utopia-timeline.436000/post-21226215), instead becoming a household name for Granada Production's effort of Sherlock Holmes from 1982...
  14. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    Personally, in my own headcannon of an ATL, I thought of the new Star Trek as The Next Frontier (as an ode to the show's ode to Kennedy)
  15. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    Precisely
  16. DuMont will make TV work: A TL

    Just to state, if it hasn't already been stated (albeit, probably too late), but the Chief Engineer of DuMont was Goldsmith, not Goldstein.

    In terms of Lee Harvey Oswald being a Soviet sympathizer, it is likely, barring a shift in views, that Joe could face the OTL fate his younger brother did.
  18. Blue Skies in Camelot: An Alternate 60's and Beyond

    Knowing my layman's knowledge of the Kennedy family, Joe, Jr. came off as closer to the personality and politics of his father, holding a much more conservative bend on issues that would align closer to the Catholic faith. Add to the bond the family had with Joe McCarthy (especially Joe, Sr.)...

    Not to mention (unless somebody has a better argument against it) that it could mean that the Astros could have the incentive of drafting him, making Bo a dual-sport sensation within the same city
