Tom Dublinski has his own Wikipedia page and passed at 85 years old -— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Dublinski
Tom was born in Chicago on Aug. 8, 1930 to Thomas M. and Rose Dublinski. He was raised in a strong Catholic family and was taught by nuns in elementary school; Jesuit priests in high school.
Tom’s family moved to Hinsdale, Ill. where he attended high school and excelled in sports, especially football as a quarterback, and was all Chicago area quarterback his senior year.
Tom earned a scholarship to the University of Utah where he lettered three years between 1949-1954.
He led The Utes to a conference championship in 1957 and placed fourth nationally in total offense. Tom was one of the greatest passing quarter backs at the U of U, and the first quarterback from The U of U to go on to play professional football.
Tom played 11 years of pro ball. He played on six division leagues (four NFL and two Canadian FL) and played in two NFL championships with the Detroit Lions. He was the first pro quarterback to play offense and defense in the 1954 Chicago Tribune NFL Venus College All Stars.
His first year with the Toronto Argonauts he threw 33 touchdowns for a CFC Record. He played quarterback in the first Champion East-West All Star game in 1955.
Tom was inducted into the U of U Crimson Club Hall of Fame in 1993. At the U of U, he was an active and loyal Phi Delta Theta Fraternity brother. Tom met Jo Ann Hurley and married her in 1953. They had five children together and enjoyed 62 years of marriage.
Tom was very successful in the insurance business. He was active in many community affairs including serving as a Grand Knight with The Knights of Columbus. Tom enjoyed golf, spectator sports and Pinochle.
Tom Dublinsky (who passed away in 2015) started one game in 1953 and four games in 1954.
Of course, all of this was before my time (born 1957), why the interest in Dublinsky?
Tom Dublinski is only the winningest QB of all time!!! Check out post #10 -—>>>
“I maintain a list of all QB career percentage wins that I update every week. I have been slowly working my way back to add the QBs with less than twenty games started. I suspect I won’t find any additional with high career averages other than Tom Dublinski who won 4 of the 5 games he started in 1960 for a .800 winning percentage.”

Decent finish to the Dublin game.
Vikings aren’t used to failing in Ireland.
Man, Dart bests Herbert in NY. Looking forward to both Ravens v Chiefs and Pack v Cowgirls later.

I feel much better about the Lions, now than after that GB game. I think that was just a case of trying to get the new coordinators familiar, but they seem to have figured things out.
A good weekend for Ole Miss.
Lions looked great against Baltimore last week. I saw the game today, Cleveland tried to hold on but Lions were just too much. Also saw the Buffalo game and the Saints gave them all they could handle. Detroit coming to Cincy next week, probably win by 24.
Having Hutch back makes all the difference.
I love seeing Brian Kelly lose. He dumped on University of Cincy for the Norte Dame job right at Bowl time. Good for Ole Miss and Dart. They jumped to #4 I think.
Great weekend for me, the Gators didn’t lose, and Georgia and FSU lost.
Now Lamar goes out with a hammy injury, Ravens are falling apart and the Chiefs have seemed to figure out their issues. 37-13 blowout.
My picks are on yahoo.
Missed Thursday night game... again.

I was just collecting everybody’s yahoo picks and I don’t see any picks for you there. Sorry. If you posted any picks on FR I haven’t seen them, let me know if I missed any.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/boxscore?gid=20250928034 892-2072. My picks went into a different yahoo picked account.
If you cannot access this, it’s no biggie.
My fault for being careless.
