Just burn a giant effigy of Zdeno Chara.There's not enough wood in British Columbia to make one of those.

TFoA Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 A couple I've wondered about myself. FootballWhat if Rickey Proehl had dropped the pass in the endzone? Or in the very least, what if Shaun King's pass to Bert Emmanuel on the next series had been ruled correctly?Titans win a Super Bowl, Jeff Fisher gets his ring. What if Kevin Dyson had been able to break Mike Jones' tackle?Jeff Fisher gets his ring (still. ). Vermeil doesn't "retire," stays with the Rams, the Rams don't suffer a Super Bowl Hangover & make it back. They run into a brick wall against the Ravens, but they come back for blood in 2001 & end their championship window with a Super Bowl victory against the Pats. Vermeil gets his ring, walks off into the sunset.What if TO had dropped the pass, or even more likely, what if Steve Young would've slipped and fell? 49ers lose & T.O. falls into irrelevancy since that moment ends up defining his career, Brett Favre returns to Atlanta & trolls his former team, but the magic ends in Minnesota, who go on to end John Elway's repeat bid & win Super Bowl XXXIII. Instead of riding off into the sunset, Elway then proceeds to become 2007-2010 Favre before Favre could, holding the Broncos under hostage year after year before hopping around from team to team, trying to win that 2nd ring. It never happens, Elway goes into retirement with his reputation tarnished somewhat. As a Falcon fan, the Eugene Robinson "episode" during Super Bowl XXXIII weekend is swept under the rug since the Falcons don't make it. BasketballWhat if Robert Horry hadn't drilled that game-winning buzzer beater?Which one? He made like a bajillion. Answers in red. This was a good one!

Cosmic Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What if John Leclair's shot doesn't go in through the side of the net in 2000? The Sabres could have had another playoff run with Dominik Hasek in his prime. Read about it here.

In a game where the two teams were that evenly matched there's no way to know for sure. I believe that whoever would have won the toss would have won the game on the firs posession. The Rams D was sucking wind on that last drive and I don't think could have gotten back up to stop the Titans again. They would have at least moved into field goal range.Likewise I think the Titans pass blitz was also exhausted and Warner would have just picked the Titans D apart had he been given another chance.

Remember it did take them 6 games to be a ho-hum Minnesota North Stars team. It would have been the league's dream match-up though and Gretzky was the Art Ross winner that year on a team that was not as deep as Edmonton.

DnBronc Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 What if Bill Belichick listened to the fans and local media and replaced Drew Bledsoe with Michael Bishop in 2000? Would Brady be on another team or out of football entirely right now? Would Bishop actually get some accuracy with his athleticism under Belichick's tutelage?Good question. Depends on how good Bishop was doing. If he was a capable QB, maybe they don't sign Bledsoe to the extension that they did, and trade him away. If they do that, they still probably draft Brady. However, with Bishop in that game and as the starter instead of Bledsoe, the injury never happens, and the stars don't align perfectly for Brady, even if he evenutally does take over in the event of Bishop getting hurt or being ineffective.

knnhrvy16 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What if Ted Simmons gets the 5% of the vote needed on the 1994 HOF Ballot to remain on further ballots? Better yet, what if that 5% rule didn't exist? I wonder if Simmons would have been elected by now. To me, he is one of those "Why the hell isn't he in the HOF??" guys in baseball history. I can't find a sound reason for his exclusion - if catchers like Roger Bresnahan and Rick Ferrell can get in, then Ted Simmons sure as hell should. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers don't look great but that's as good as your going to get for that time period for catcher. If your OPS is over .750 during the deadball era, your a pretty good hitter and that's at any position let alone catcher. Ferrell I have some questions about though.
