Elson's
Best Of NFL Over 20 Years
By Elson Armstrong, Jr.
The heat of summer is already upon us, and while I !
sat here in a cool spot trying toavQid the 90-degree plus
heat, I got to thinking that it was time for me to come
forth with another all-time teams list. This time its the
NFL's best from 1961 to the present. Anything before
that time is a different era and the teams would have to
be rated in separate categories.
1 . Pittsburgh (1 978) This was the best of the infamous
Steel Curtain outfits that came to be known as the
"Team of the 1970s", They had a perfect blend of an
explosive offense and a punishing defense.
2. Miami (1972) It is likely that no other team will
ever go 17-0 like this Dolphin team did. they were
criticized for playing a weak schedule but no other team
ever went unbeaten in the NFL weak schedule or not.
3. Pittsburgh (1979) The club that made history by
winning the Super Bowl a record fourth time. When
they were hot they were just awesome.
4. Oakland (1976) Somehow this club is often
overlooked when all-time teams are rated, but John
Madden coached this club to a 16-1 record and won his
only Super Bowl by thrashing the Vikings 32-14.
5. Green Bay (1968) This 14-1 team was Vince Lom
bards best and they left a legacy that will last forever in
Wisconsin. (By the way,' the Packers were voted the
team of the 1960s.)
6. Miami (1973) This team was so good and
methodical that it was just boring to watch.
ruisourgn wno win ever torget the thrilling
.2117 Super-Bowl yin over DaUasi.TUrgamyirfe(uT8r
in the movie "Black Sunday".
8. Dallas (1977) Another team that's overlooked. But
just check the stats and you'll see that they were barely
tested in their march to the Super Bowl title.

teams (Buffalo, Oakland, Minnesota) to less than 150

10. New York (Jets, 1968) The team that gave the
AFL (now AFC) its own identity and Broadway Joe" is
still hated in Baltimore for what he did to the Colts.

'Major Sport
In Tarheelia
By EUon Armstrong, Jr.
On Saturday, May 23,
some 6,000 sun-drenched,
fans flocked to UNC
Fetzer Field in 95-degree
heat to witness the most
prestigious lacrosse match
ever played in the Triangle
area.
It was the NCAA semi-'
finals and UNC mounted .
a fourth period surge that .
sunk Navy 17-8, with the
win ' Carolina now ad
vances to the national title
game against Johns j
. Hopkins on' May 30 in
Princeton, New Jersey.
the title game will match
two unbeaten teams that
have been ranked No. 1
and No. 2 all season.
Johns Hopkins has won
the last three titles and
currently holds a 22-game ..
winning streak. The
Maryland school earned
it's sport in the big game '
by defeating Virginia 10-6. ',
Norths Carolina has
become the first "deep
south" school to ever ad
vance this far in lacrosse,
a sport that has been
dominated ' by schools
from the middle Atlantic
region.
UNC's rise to the
lacrosse elite can be ac
credited to their hard
working 33-year old coach
Will Scroggs. Scroggs,
who took . over as head
coach in 1978 on a shoe
. string budget has built
UNC into a powerful
machine that is steadily
gaining popularity among
both UNC students and
: the surrounding popula
tion. Lacrosse, which is often
called the fastest sport on
two feet has elements of
field hockey, soccer, and
basketball, the action
divided into four
15-minute periods is non-'
stop.
Although, there are no
native Tarheels on this
UNC squad, there are
already signs that lacrosse
may be the next sport to
hit the big time here.
North Carolina State
has also made breath--takjng
stride; in the sport
'- (UNC barely edged-tKe U
Wolfpack 19-17 for the
ACC crown) and this
healthy rivalry with the
Tar Heels is already spark
ing interest among young "
fans.
It is quite possible that i
lacrosse is now in the stage
where basketball was in:
this state 30 years ago, in
the 1950's N.C. State,
Duke and UNC had to vir
tually import all of their
great players from the
northeast or midwest but
by the late 1960s the high
school cage programs in
North Carolina were as
strong as any in the nation
and native North Caroli
njanns became among the
most sought after players
around.
As recently as 1970, on
ly a handful of N.C. high
schools fielded soccer
teaqis,, today the sport is
growing by leaps and
bounds.
So on Saturday, May
30, UNC will challenge
Johns Hopkins for No. 1 .
(This will be Carolina's
third national title game in
ten weeks in March In
diana defeated UNC 63-50
for the basketball tide, in
early May Florida State ,
defeated UNC's women's L
softball team 4-1 in cham
pionship game.) Win, lose
or draw, I say thanks to
Coach Scroggs and his
well-disciplined team for
opening our eyes to the
fastest sport on two feet.
