One of the many legendary coaches the NFL has ever had was Don Coryell. Coryell is known for his “Air Coryell” offense that catapulted the San Diego Chargers of the early 1980s into the upper echelon of the NFL. This pass-happy offense was exciting to watch and tough to defend against too, but how successful did it make Don Coryell as a coach?

Don Coryell began his NFL head coaching with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1973, and after his first season when he went 4-9-1 he reeled off four consecutive seasons where his teams’ record didn’t dip below .500. After going 7-7 during the 1977 season, Coryell’s tenure with the Cardinals was over and he moved onto the Chargers for the next season.

Coryell’s Chargers had five consecutive winning season from the time that he arrived there. That made for Coryell to have nine consecutive seasons with his teams having a record of .500 or better. This is truly a great accomplishment, hundreds of coaches would love to have that record. But, what happened after that? The Chargers records in his last four seasons were 6-10, 7-9, 8-8, and finally 1-7 before his time with the Chargers was over.

One of the best vacation experiences we’ve ever had was a week long trip to Las Vegas. That town exceded all of our expectations and had tons more to offer than just the gambling and casino life. While we’d love to go back, we’d also love to go to a destination a little more exotic. Traveling to some of the more out of the way destinations can be very rewarding in that you see things that most people don’t get a chance to. With that in mind, I’d love to book a flight to Cyprus sometime. The culture and surroundings there would be amazing.

A great place to actually make your vacation or holiday reservations is through DialAFlight.com. They handle all the details so you can just enjoy the vacation. I love anything that makes life simpler.

By far the vast majority of career receiving leaders for the franchises of the NFL are wide receivers. This makes sense as most of the longer receptions end up going to them as opposed to running backs and tight ends. But, which franchises have career receiving leaders that are tight ends?

There are three of them:

Baltimore Ravens - Todd Heap
Cleveland Browns - Ozzie Newsome
Kansas City Chiefs - Tony Gonzalez

An interesting side note is that Ozzie Newsome has served many years in the Baltimore Ravens organization as someone involved in player personnel decisions.

Traveling and vacationing is a great way to spend time, especially at this time at year. The chance to go out of town to a baseball game or a football game is a great experience. But, it is hard to travel and do everything you want to do without a credit card. For some people getting a credit card is a tough task. There are options though, places you can view different credit card offers so you can make a more informed decision. Many times you can get credit cards no matter what your credit card rating is. Once such place is CreditCardsClub.com. They offer credit cards for many different uses and for many different places. They are a very valuable resource when it comes to obtaining credit cards, especially for people who may not have been able to get a credit card from other places.
