  • Dave Behrman
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Dave Behrman This article was written by Budd Bailey. It’s a given that playing football can take a toll on a person. Even so, Dave Behrman was particularly unlucky in this area. Not only was his promising career cut short by physical problems, but Behrman’s quality of life also suffered well past the time that the game was just a memory for him. David Wesley Behrman was born on November 9, 1941, in Dowagiac, Michigan. That’s a small town in the southwest corner of the state, located about 25 miles north of South Bend, Indiana, and 25 miles southeast of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Dowagiac’s biggest celebrity (literally and figuratively) might be Chris Taylor, the 412-pound wrestler who won a bronze medal for the United States at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Dave’s father was Chauncey Orville Behrman, who was born in Volinia – just east of Dowagiac. Mother Freda was born in Sturgis – about an hour southeast of Volinia near the Indiana state line. Dave was an only child. Behrman stayed in Dowagiac through his childhood, and attended Dowagiac Union High School. That facility had only one other pro football player among its alumni. Vern Davis played three games at cornerback for the 1971 Philadelphia Eagles. Information about Dave’s time with the Chieftains is tough to find. We do know that Behrman was on his way to become something of a giant on the line, since he reportedly checked in at 280 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com pounds at that stage of his life.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • An Aw Shucks Guy: Billy Shaw
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 4 (1999) An Aw Shucks Guy Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1999 By Joe Horrigan Guard Billy Shaw, once describcd as an "aw shucks sort of guy from Mississippi,” makes perfect strangers feel instantly comfortable with his polite disposition and broad smile. His friendly demeanor makes it difficult to believe that this gentle giant was one of pro football’s toughest competitors. However, when the game whistle blew and the ball was snapped, Shaw's "Mr. Nice Guy" nature metamorphosed to an aggressive, focused lineman, with one thing on his mind, winning football games. "When you played against Billy," remembers Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker, Bobby Bell, "you brought your lunch. He played every down to the maximum. He was relentless." A 6-2, 258-pound All-America lineman out of Georgia Tech, Shaw was the second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 1961 American Football League draft and a fourteenth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys of the then-rival National Football League. It wasn't that the Cowboys failed to recognize Shaw’s potential when they selected him in the late round. It was simply a calculated risk on their part. "I had already signed with Buftalo when the National Football League held their draft," Shaw explained. "In those days, people didn't know if the AFL would last the year, and I guess the Cowboys wanted to be able to claim me." Since the AFL did survive, the Cowboys never got their chance to claim the two-way Georgia Tech star, whose steadying influence on the Bills led the team to consecutive AFL titles in 1964 and 1965.

Stephenson played quarterback for the Bills during the 1968 season and became their head coach in 1983, serving for 2½ seasons.

  • When the Buffalo Bills Rode High
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) WHEN THE BUFFALO BILLS RODE HIGH by Stan Grosshandler (Originally published in Pro Football Digest) "Count me in with Buffalo!" These words, spoken by Ralph Wilson Jr. to the founders of the American Football League, heralded the return of Buffalo to the pro football scene after an absence of 11 years. The metropolis on the shores of Lake Erie has had a long and distinguished place in the history of professional football. The city's first team, the Buffalo All-Americans of 1920, was a member of the American Professional Football Association, forerunner of the NFL. This club lasted until 1927 and was also known as the Bisons and Rangers. Some of the finest players of that period played for Buffalo, stars such as Eddie Casey, Lud Wray, Elmer Oliphant, Tommy Hughitt, Lou Little and Tiny Thornhill. The second team to represent the city was in the third abortive AFL of 194-41. This team was called the Indians and then the Tigers. A third and more substantial team appeared in 1946, the Bills of the All- America Conference. Playing the entire four years of the AAFC, they won their division the third year. After Wilson obtained the franchise in October of 1959, he selected his first draft choice, Richie Lucas; named the team the Bills, and signed his first player Joe Schaffer. The name had infinitely more success than the players. When Wilson got around to naming his coach he selected Garrard "Buster" Ramsey. Ramsey had been a fine guard for the Cardinals and for the previous eight years had been defensive coach of the Lions.

The businessmen of Parkersburg elected VanDevender because they wanted a new high school and they felt he was the man for the job.

  • Dick Cunningham
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Dick Cunningham This article was written by Greg D. Tranter Dick Cunningham won a NCAA college football national championship at Arkansas in 1964 playing alongside future Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Jimmy Johnson. He was a three-year letter-winner with the Razorbacks and was All-Southwest Conference in 1966. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Cunningham enjoyed a seven-year pro career, spending six of those seasons with the Buffalo Bills. He also met his wife while playing for Buffalo and it just happened to be the sister of a fellow Bills player. Richard Karekin Cunningham was born on October 12, 1944 in Boston, Massachusetts. His father was in the Air Force and so Cunningham moved around as a youngster and spent time in Europe as well. The family came back to the U.S.A. in the middle of Dick’s junior year in high school and settled in San Antonio, Texas. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. He had never played tackle football before coming to San Antonio; his only experience was playing flag football in England and a couple years of rugby. Dick only played one year of high school football, but was good enough that it earned him a scholarship to the University of Arkansas. In his senior year, the Mustangs went all the way to the quarterfinals of the AAAA Texas state championship, losing to Corpus 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Christi Ray 26-7. The team finished with a 10-2 record.
