One small quibble though. The term split end has gone by the wayside. Probably it started in the late '70s or so with the Charger coarh Don Coryell introducing his great aerial offense now call "Air Coryell." The two receivers began to be called wide receivers then instead of split end and flanker, with the flanker a yard back of line, as per NFL rules.

Thanks for playing.
