OK, a pro-bowl question for pro-bowl week.
The pro-bowl records for single game rushing for both AFC and NFC were both set in the same year.
Name the backs, name the year.

Nope. Though not entirely out of the ball park...

I doubt Warner even went to '84 pro-bowl, actually. That was the year he broke his leg and we ran the ball by committee, if memory serves...

I suppose we're talking at cross terms cos I thought Warner / Dickerson led their conferences those years, in which case I meant the 85 PB.

A few more double posts by Sharkey and irrelevant postings by myself and we'll soon be at 15!

It wasn't Warner/Dickinson in '85 either, BBS.

Actually could never stand Dickerson for reasons beyond my dim & faded memory ...
However I think he's most likely to hold the records will have been set in the mid 80s as:
- passing became all the fad in the 1990s.
- Emmitt / Barry would have been splitting carries.
- a 70s rushing record would have been surpassed in the 80s.
- I think they used to take the game more seriously in terms of not just rotating all the players verbatim.
- they'll be held by players who hit a long run, which could be anyone with the right blocking.
All that said I'll take a different angle ... Dickerson / Greg Bell / 89.

Not them either. As to it being achieved by a long run, well, the AFC record is held by the holder of the longest average career gain in the pro-bowl...

Of course given that you've not actually been inducted I guess the 15 posts rule wouldn't apply yet, although you wouldn't want to p**s the organisers off, now would you?

Well this is 17, so i guess he can have a go now.
And that should have been 'longest average gain per rush in a career at Pro-Bowls...'

Which is absolutely and positively incorrect.
Right, I'm off home now, so argue amongst yourselves for an hour or so...

FF - how's your speech coming along?
Did I mention you'll need to provide 3 pieces of Trivia to donate to the Hall for visitors to read ...
And of course you may want to bring along a souvenir memento - say perhaps your "Miami Dolphins - AFC East Champions 2002" T-shirt?
I'll put a thread together with an induction timetable when I get a moment ...
