#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. The “Negro Motorist Green-Book” identified safe spots to stop for food, fuel and a hotel.

Dan Dierdorf adds his voice to Don Coryell’s Hall of Fame case
The NFL largely remembers Don Coryell for his dynamic Air Coryell teams in San Diego. Dan Dierdorf begs to differ. “We saw him first in St. Louis,” said Dierdorf.

Fate allowed Drew Brees to save only one city’s NFL franchise
