  • Nagurski's Debut and Rockne's Lesson
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 3 (1998) NAGURSKI’S DEBUT AND ROCKNE’S LESSON Pro Football in 1930 By Bob Carroll For years it was said that George Halas and Dutch Sternaman, the Chicago Bears’ co-owners and co- coaches, always took opposite sides in every minor argument at league meetings but presented a united front whenever anything major was on the table. But, by 1929, their bickering had spread from league politics to how their own team was to be directed. The absence of a united front between its leaders split the team. The result was the worst year in the Bears’ short history -- 4-9-2, underscored by a humiliating 40-6 loss to the crosstown Cardinals. A change was necessary. Neither Halas nor Sternaman was willing to let the other take charge, and so, in the best tradition of Solomon, they resolved their differences by agreeing that neither would coach the team. In effect, they fired themselves, vowing to attend to their front office knitting. A few years later, Sternaman would sell his interest to Halas and leave pro football for good. Halas would go on and on. Halas and Sternaman chose Ralph Jones, the head man at Lake Forest (IL) Academy, as the Bears’ new coach. Jones had faith in the T-formation, the attack mode the Bears had used since they began as the Decatur Staleys. While other pro teams lined up in more modern formations like the single wing, double wing, or Notre Dame box, the Bears under Jones continued to use their basic T.

  • Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State
    Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 May 8, 2004 Abstract The history of baseball in the United States during the twentieth century in many ways mirrors the history of our nation in general. When the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants left New York for California in 1957, it had very interesting repercussions for New York. The vacancy left by these two storied baseball franchises only spurred on the reason why they left. Urban decay and an exodus of middle class baseball fans from the city, along with the increasing popularity of television, were the underlying causes of the Giants' and Dodgers' departure. In the end, especially in the case of Brooklyn, which was very attached to its team, these processes of urban decay and exodus were only sped up when professional baseball was no longer a uniting force in a very diverse area. New York's urban demographic could no longer support three baseball teams, and California was an excellent option for the Dodger and Giant owners. It offered large cities that were hungry for major league baseball, so hungry that they would meet the requirements that Giants' and Dodgers' owners Horace Stoneham and Walter O'Malley had asked for in New York. These included condemnation of land for new stadium sites and some city government subsidization for the Giants in actually building the stadium. Overall, this research shows the very real impact that sports has on its city and the impact a city has on its sports.

  • Bill Shockley
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Bill Shockley This article was written by Budd Bailey. It was a very short field goal – we’d call it a “chip shot” many years later. Yet it was an event that will never be forgotten, at least to football historians who keep track of such relatively obscure moments. It also turned out to be the highlight of Bill Shockley’s football career, which guaranteed him a small slice of fame for as long as the New York Jets play football. William Albert Shockley Jr. was born on March 13, 1937 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The story of his family tree is a little confusing from a distance, at least when looking at Ancestry.com. Bill Sr. was born on Sept. 26, 1912, in either Port Deposit, Maryland, or in Avondale, Pennsylvania – accounts differ. The United States census has the whole family (there were three other children) living in Port Deposit by 1920. Mother Maria Jane Day was born in Port Deposit on July 30, 1915, and it looks as if Bill Sr. and Maria were married sometime in the early 1930s. In any event, the family eventually ended up in the area of West Chester, Pennsylvania. That town is located an hour west of Philadelphia and 35 minutes north of Wilmington. If you are old enough to remember Commodore computers in the mid-1980s, you should know that the home office was located in West Chester. The main building of 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Commodore International in West Chester was taken over by the QVC shopping channel after Commodore’s bankruptcy in 1994.

  • NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LOCAL FOOTBALL ATTRACTION NFL Fans Have Passion for Their Local Home Team
    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LOCAL FOOTBALL ATTRACTION NFL Fans Have Passion For Their Local Home Team By Michael LaSardo | VP TV Station Solutions | Katz Media Group YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A FACE PAINTER TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT If you find yourself at a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, the passion that fans have for their home team would be unmistakable. Same deal if you visit Chicago for a Bears game at Soldier Field. And most certainly in Seattle at the Seahawks’ CenturyLink Field. The fans in Seattle are affectionately dubbed the “12th Man” because their vocal support of their team can be such a game changer. This passion for local teams translates into ratings for local television audiences. And it’s not limited to the home markets that these teams represent. NFL teams have local fan bases that expand beyond the invisible DMA lines. When broadcast and cable air the exact same game, it’s broadcast stations with the HH audience advantage. Your instincts might tell you that an NFL team’s fans would most likely reside in the market in which the team plays. Well, our findings reinforce that hunch. Katz Television Group assigned each of the 32 NFL teams to a “home” DMA that’s measured using a Nielsen meter (Local People Meter or HH Set Meter). These 32 teams call 29 markets home. Three markets - New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco-Oakland - each have 2 local teams. This metered assignment of teams allows us to look at Nielsen Live+SD HH Ratings for all NFL games across the entire 2018-19 regular season.
