I got to see Alvin Haymond practice at Southern University (his Alma Mater) during his offseason in the Spring of 1971. He had some great moves. He usually practice against the college players. I enjoyed your videos.
The fact that this channel doesn't have 1 million subscribers at least is a crime. This is hands down one of the best on TH-cam. Sorry it's not mentos and coca cola explosion videos..its just classy content..priceless
Jimmy Raye, one of the players in the Alvin Haymond trade, played only two seasons at cornerback for the 1968 Rams and 1969 Eagles. Due to a rash of injuries, Raye hardly played in Philly. Even though his NFL career was brief, he is best remembered as a quarterback at Michigan State who, in 1966, started for the Spartans in the famous 10-10 tie with Notre Dame, a game that was called "The Game of The Century." The 1966 Spartans would go on to win the National Championship. More importantly, Raye was a trailblazer, for he was MSU's first starting black quarterback, and the first black QB from the South (Fayetteville, North Carolina) to win a national championship. Under head coach Duffy Daugherty and his "Underground Railroad," Raye was one of many black players from the South to come to Michigan State; other notable players were Bubba Smith, George Webster, and Gene Washington (the Vikings' WR). For their part, Raye and Co. would play a big role in the integration of college football, a groundbreaking move that would impact the college game for generations to come. After his NFL playing career was over, Raye was a college assistant coach, beginning at his alma mater (1971-75) and at Wyoming (1976). After that, he spent 36 years as an NFL assistant coach (1977-2010, 2012-2013) with 10 teams, serving as offensive coordinator 13 times. Jimmy Raye is currently the subject of a book titled "Raye of Light: Jimmy Raye, Duffy Daugherty, The Integration of College Football, and the 1965-66 Michigan State Spartans."

You have a great way to tell a story and the content you talk about is so much fun to listen and I've learned so many cool things about NFL history. Keep up the great work!
I don't know. I think the Eagles would have been MUCH BETTER OFF keeping Sonny Jurgensen and making him SPIKE the ball into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play.
Oh, you have to do one of these on Timmy Smith of the Redskins. The personification of a flash in the pan. Had a nothing career, had the greatest Super Bowl in history as a running back(still has the record for most rushing yards in a Super Bowl) who was quite literally never heard from again.
You want bizarre trades? Look no further than my Flyers. First, in 1989 they traded Keith Acton and Pete Peeters to the Winnipeg Jets for future considerations. Those future considerations? Keith Acton and Pete Peeters. A 2nd happened just this weekend. They traded Shayne Gostisbehere, 2022 2nd round draft pick and 2022 7th round draft pick to the Arizona Coyotes for...wait for it...NOTHING! They got nothing in return. They basically gave Arizona 2 draft picks to take Ghost's contract off their hands.
I remember seeing Haymond at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. He was fearless as a punt returner. The guy never seemed to call for a fair catch. The loudest hits I ever heard in the stands waw Alvin Haymond getting hit on punt returns.
You should have watched Alvin Haymond he was a fun player to watch returning kicks back in the day. Not trying to nitpik but your post made me look up his actual spelling of his last name
@@njacobdekelaita6198 if you go back and read my post it clearly states I used to watch Alvin Heyman and maybe I didn't spell his name right but we both know who I was talking about right
1. The other really good punt returner in those times was Gale Sayers. Official Jaguar Gator 9 made a video about how he joined the nfl. 2. The Eagles made another draft trade that became an Official Jaguar Gator 9 video a couple years later. 3. As the eagles tried to protest the trade, an nfl team once tried to protest the outcome of a game. Official Jaguar Gator 9 made a video about that.
@@Rockhound6165 I'm not saying walker was bad or that one was his fault. And that's just it. 12 picks and players was wayyyy too much. And vikes didn't win s#it after walker arrived.

3 INTs, 4 sacks and 11 fumble recoveries in 7 seasons doesn't count as "making a play"? I'm talking about Ron Porter. You want a LB who never made a play, I give you Channing Crowder. One INT, 3 fumble recoveries and 2.5 sacks in 6 seasons puts Porter's non-playmaking to shame.
The Eagles of this era have inspired more than their share of videos on this channel for their misadventures, which explains why Santa Claus was pelted with snowballs at Franklin Field. If David Stern had been NFL commissioner then, he would have voided the trade in order to protect a stupid team from being taken advantage of by a smarter team.
OK, the snowballs at Santa happened 53 years ago. I think we can let it go. 2nd, if you and the others who constantly bring that up actually knew the context as what led to that incident you would have been right there throwing snowballs at the same guy. And we'll leave out the fact that on that day, a day after a huge blizzard, in freezing cold temperatures sold out to see a 2-11 team who the previous week ruined their chances at getting OJ Simpson. Tell me of another fan base who would do that.
Pete Retzlaff was a great receiver for Philly, a big part of their 1960 championship team, but as a GM for the Eagles....well, maybe not so much. This trade was a bad deal for the Eagles, as was his botched trade for QB Greg Barton, from Detroit, which you made a video about. Retzlaff traded away three (3) high draft picks to Detroit for back-up QB Greg Barton, who never played a down (zero snaps) for Philadelphia. Retzlaff did draft WR Harold Carmichael (HOF), DB Bill Bradley, DE Tim Rossovich, and LB Steve Zabel, but most of his draft picks were nothing to write home about; K Happy Feller, WR John Carlos (Olympics 1968), RB Lee Bouggess, RB Leroy Keyes (the Purdue All-American), QB John Reaves (also the subject of one of your videos). The Retzlaff/Tose regime in Philly was a mixed bag at best.

Sounds like the contest where the winner gets a week in Philadelphia. Second place gets two weeks in Phiadelphia.

A former Rams GM ruled in favor of the Rams? Shocking.
Witness the 1974 draft when Rozelle made a key ruling on behalf of the Rams at the expense of the Jets.

Why? Walker played well for them. Blame their GM for vastly overpaying to get him and setting up Dallas' 90's dynasty.

How these two stories you can do How Andre the Giant almost played in the NFL & How Bruno Sammartino almost played for the Steelers
The Giant didn’t play because he would lose too much money from not wrestling! NFL had very low salaries back then !
@@100secondworkout But it is true with both Bruno Sammartino was approached about playing for the Steelers he asked how much money would he get in the NFL as opposed to wrestling the NFL was too low
@@lambert581 George Allen wanted the Giant just to block punts and Field Goals! They were the top two wrestlers at the time !
Boy were the Eagles dopes !
I guess you didn't have to pass a physical back then
Clipping on Mike Curtis #33 at 5:55
I guess this is the reason players have to pass a physical before the trade is final.
Maybe the Eagles knew they were going to need those future draft picks -- so they could trade them back to the Rams in exchange for Roman Gabriel.
And Harald Jackson
