I am admittedly biased since I went to Cornell and was part of the Cornell Athletic Department in an unpaid position when Ed Marinaro was a running back for the Big Red in his final two seasons. I was there when he set the NCAA rushing record. Big Ed was not a bust with the Vikings. He was a starter for them in two Super Bowls and played well in both of them. But he didn't pile up a lot of yards or TD's for them because he was primarily a blocking back (for Chuck Foreman starting in Ed's second NFL season) and not their first option on offense. In college, Marinaro had achieved much of his success by being a punishing runner and having better performances in the second half than in the first by wearing down the defense. He still holds four NCAA rushing records which indicate how often he was relied on as a running back: most rushes per game in a season (39.6 in 1971), career average carries per game (34.0, 1969-71), most rushing yards per game over an entire career (174.6, 1969-71), and earliest game reaching 1,000 rushing yards (5th, 1971). As the #2 back in Minnesota, while he played well as a blocking back, his best game was taken away from him. With the Jets, he wasn't the primary running back at the beginning of the year, but as the coaching staff tried to find something that worked, when they made him the go to guy, he responded with those 100+ yard games. The sad irony is that Marinaro was known for his durability as a runner at Cornell and with the Vikings. Just when he was finally getting a chance to prove that his college stats were not a fluke, an injury effectively ended his career, although he tried to come back with Seattle in '77. And it wasn't a knee or ankle injury. It was a foot injury. Even so, Marinaro won the Maxwell Award and the UPI College Football Player of the Year as the top player in college football in his senior year. And he finished first in the voting for the Heisman Trophy in every region of the country except for the South where the voters basically en masse left him off their ballots so that Pat Sullivan of Auburn could win the trophy, much to the surprise of the those covering the naming of the winner on national TV. But karma can be sweet. If anyone was a bust in pro football, it was Pat Sullivan, not Ed Marinaro. Sullivan only played in 30 NFL games (all for Atlanta) and started only 4, losing all 4. He completed only 93 of 220 passes with 5 TDs compared to 16 picks, 22 sacks and only 5.3 yards gained per attempt for a QB rating of 36.5. As the producer of the videos on this channel loves to point out, Sullivan would have had a higher QB rating if he merely spiked the ball on every single play.

1. On that Monday Night game didn’t Patriots fans cause a lot of trouble that night? 2. You showed Gaines catching a lot of passes in a home game against the 49ers. I believe in that game Jets QB Richard Todd set a record for completions in a game, with Gaines catching 18 of them. As I recall that too was a single-game record at the time. 3. After Marinaro’s injury he must have been singing the blues…Hill Street Blues, that is.

The best NFL stories by FAR!!!!!

The 2:30 quip is pretty savage. But it is remarkable to remember how once it was hard to find tape of a college team even in the 80s. Especially if your, well, my team wasn't very good.

Despite only playing basically half a season, Gaines not only was the Jets leading rusher, but he led all NFL rookies in rushing that season and was also named to the All-Rookie Team. Makes you wonder if there was ever another undrafted free agent rookie RB to do the same. As for Marinaro, that injury pretty much ended his career, which was a darn shame.

My proudest accomplishment, but first we need some context... I started watching these videos about 4 months ago. Now, I believe this is my 40th video. 40. Which we all know is more than 39.6, meaning I have surpassed the passer rating of anyone who would have spiked the ball on every single play!

I discovered this channel the other night when I searched the mnf John Lennon announcement which made youtube put your video about the The announcer who ruined his career by lying about dinner with the coach on THE air live. The story caught my attention so I checked out the popular videos on your channel. This content is some of the most interesting ive ever watched on KZread. Not just that, but after seeing the same old content in video after video about popular story's we know inside and out already. The Drive, The Catch, the 1983 draft Blah blah blah. It's so surprising Sia Channel telling so many story I've never heard anything about 4 and had no idea had happy it's so refreshing. I mean who in the world would think that there was a NFL football game in complete silence sky from the field noise it never would have crossed my mind to even look for something like that I am so excited to see what the next video has to tell me you've got yourself a subscriber if you didn't figure that out and please keep up this amazing content it's truly a breath of fresh air to a sports fan who's been around for forty years and thinks he knows everything

Would Kilamanjaro be an apt mountain for Gaines to climb?

I like finding the tv cops in these videos. Saw renegade cop rick hunter in yesterdays pat video. Now hill street blues cop ed marinaro. Also appeared late on 'laverne and shirley' as well. Maybe do a video on nfl players turned tv/movie cops like bubba smith of the 'police academy' movies.

I just gotta say... you make somehow great videos. Great vibe. Thanks.

Clark Gaines still holds the NFL record for most receptions by a running back with 18, no receiver will ever break that record, P.S. Clark Gaines had 18 targets during that game against the 49ers back in September 1980!!

The 70's were a wild time in the NFL

"DAMNIT GAINES!!!"

Clark Gaines broke his leg in a mid-season game at Shea Stadium vs. the Patriots. (do you have the footage?) and it ended his Jet career.

In that Pats-Jets game, Steve Grogan had a career high 105 yards rushing, and was the player who ran the fumble into the end zone.

Description of the actual play begins about 8:33.

Gains would have had a longer career but he had a devastating leg injury in 1980 that seriously hampered his career and even after the recovery, he was never the same and retired in 1982 due to the bad leg holding him back. He might have become a hall of fame running back equal the the likes of Walter Payton of he had stayed healthy with a good leg but sometimes injuries can end a career before it should have.

Despite all the glorification heaped on Weeb Ewbank, he was a notorious tightwad in his role as GM, and pretty much wrecked the jets by letting their best offense player (Riggins) AND their best defensive player (DT Verlon Biggs) go, rather than giving the pay raises that they deserved.

Looks like Gaines made a block on a linebacker and then released and made the catch. If he was supposed to block the backside linebacker, why wasn't he lined up on the backside of Namath? Just saying.

To this day the jets continue to make mistakes in the hope that they will strike it lucky again

Personal foul unnecessary roughness JG9 piling on Wake Forest

Except for the fact Gaines didn't miss his block, he blocked the LB who then went down the line and got blocked by someone else as Gaines released. Maybe you can go with the claim that he wasn't supposed to release, but if he wasn't, Namath would have never located him that quickly. Sorry dude, this video is bunk. We all have eyes and can see the play and how it unfolded. There was no whiff on the block.
