  • JACK DOLBIN: Not One of the Anonymous People
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 6 (2000) JACK DOLBIN: Not one of the Anonymous People By Harold Aurand Jr. When Jack Dolbin was born on November 12, 1948 just about everyone who knew his famiIy knew he’d be fast. His father and grandfather had both been captains of the Penn State track team. His grandfather had even once been co-holder of the world record in the hundred yard dash. What was unexpected was that Jack would be able to use his family’s gift for speed to earn himself a successful career in the National Football League. After several false starts, though, Jack Dolbin became a popular player for the Denver Broncos, and the team’s leading receiver in Super Bowl XII. Jack Dolbin first tasted gridiron success at his hometown high school in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. As a star running back he was selected to play in the Big 33 Game, and went to Wake Forest on an athletic scholarship. Dolbin continued to play running back for the Demon Deacons. While he had a solid career, he wasn’t chosen in the NFL draft. Instead he spent 1971 with the semi-pro Pottstown Firebirds. When the NFL still didn’t come calling, Dolbin decided to get on with his life. He moved to Lombard, Illinois and began taking classes at the National College of Chiropractic. His football career was seemingly over. In 1974, while still a chiropractic student, Jack Dolbin heard the new World Footbal League was putting a franchise in nearby Chicago. Although he hadn’t played in three years, Jack decided to try out.

  • Week 16 Pairs Packers, Vikings in Nfc North Battle
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12/17/19 http://twitter.com/nfl345 WEEK 16 PAIRS PACKERS, VIKINGS IN NFC NORTH BATTLE To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL 100 Game of the Week. Each game is a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made. The NFL has designated the OAKLAND RAIDERS-LOS ANGELES CHARGERS matchup as the NFL100 Game of the Week because the contest recognizes two original AFL teams, each with ties to late Pro Football Hall of Famer AL DAVIS. From 1957-60, Davis served as the line coach at the University of Southern California before Sid Gillman tabbed him as the Los Angeles Chargers’ offensive ends coach. After helping the Chargers to two division titles in three seasons, Davis had the opportunity to lead his own team in 1963. That’s when he took over the Oakland Raiders and changed the team colors to silver and black, then personified the rival league’s exciting new image by developing the vertical passing game. The upstart AFL finalized a formal merger with the NFL later in the decade and began playing as one league in 1970. AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME: Seventeen teams remain in contention for a trip to Super Bowl LIV. Two playoff berths in each conference are up for grabs. Welcome to late December in the NFL. The BUFFALO BILLS, GREEN BAY PACKERS and SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS have each qualified for the postseason after missing the playoffs last season.
