Official Playing Rules of the NFL Now Available in Spanish Beginning with the NFL’S 100Th Season, the Official Playing Rules of the NFL Are Now Available in Spanish FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 9/3/19 http://www.twitter.com/NFL345 Official Playing Rules of the NFL Now Available in Spanish Beginning with the NFL’s 100th season, the Official Playing Rules of the NFL are now available in Spanish. This marks the first time in NFL history that the Rulebook has been translated to another language. The Official Playing Rules of the NFL contains all current rules governing the playing of professional football that are in effect for the 2019 NFL season. Under the direction of Alberto Riveron, NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating, the project was led by Frank Szczepanik, NFL Officiating Special Projects Coordinator and NFL announcer Alvaro Martin, who together formed a committee comprised of some of the best-known and most respected Spanish- language NFL announcers to develop this version of the NFL Rulebook. The committee was comprised of Raul Allegre, Enrique Burak and Joaquin Castillo. “The translation of the NFL Rulebook to Spanish is part of the NFL’s ongoing effort to engage and educate Spanish-speaking fans and media, as well as a step towards developing officiating talent in Mexico and across Latin America,” Riveron said. “It was important to have Spanish-language NFL experts come together to collaborate on this project. We were excited to have such a talented team develop the first Spanish-language NFL Rulebook.” Martin is in his third decade announcing NFL games in Spanish, having previously served as ESPN’s Monday Night Football announcer for the ESPN Deportes Spanish-language U.S. broadcast, as well as for ESPN International’s broadcast to viewers in Latin America. He is now part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Spanish-language announcing team. Additionally, he collaborates with the NFL’s officiating department in preparing content for Spanish-speaking fans around the world. ESPN’s Allegre is a nine-year NFL veteran and two-time Super Bowl winner with the New York Giants (1986 and 1990). Since 2002, he has served as an NFL analyst for ESPN’s Spanish-language NFL broadcasts across the U.S. and Latin America. Televisa’s Burak has covered a number of sports and the Olympics for almost three decades. He is an integral part of Televisa’s NFL announcing team. TV Azteca’s Castillo stood out as a college quarterback, winning two championships for Mexico’s Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and later coached UNAM, thus earning the widely-used nickname “Coach.” He worked as a team general manager in Mexico's pro football league and continues to serve as TV Azteca's lead analyst. .

  • WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? BJORN NITTMO? Kicker Bjorn Nittmo Chased His NFL Dream for More Than a Decade, Including a Stop in Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills
    WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? BJORN NITTMO? Kicker Bjorn Nittmo chased his NFL dream for more than a decade, including a stop in training camp with the Buffalo Bills. He became a recurring character on 'Late Night with David Letterman.' A head injury left Nittmo so shattered that he walked out on his wife and four children. Years later, he continues to drop in, unannounced and unkempt, before taking off again. His estranged family wants him to get help before it's too late. By Tim Graham / News Sports Reporter Illustration by Daniel Zakroczemski / Buffalo News Published Sept. 1, 2016 Bjorn Nittmo is somewhere out there, presumably in the Arizona mountains, maybe installing home-satellite systems but almost certainly running from himself. Eleven years ago he stopped coming home to his wife and four children. The youngest was 6 months old. He had lost part of his memory and still complains about the constant howling in his head from a concussive whomp. He has filed for bankruptcy and faced at least six civil judgments or liens. At some point he began using a different name. There might be a sinister reason to take on an alias, or perhaps he simply grew tired of people asking if he was that Bjorn Nittmo. Yes, he’s the same guy David Letterman introduced in 1989 as “the only Bjorn Nittmo in the New Jersey phonebook.” In actuality he’s the only Bjorn Nittmo in the world, though he is more peculiar than even that. Nittmo was the left-footed, southern-drawled, Swedish placekicker the media treated like a geegaw from a Cracker Barrel store.

CARDINALS FACE 49ERS IN FIRST REGULAR-SEASON GAME OUTSIDE U.S. It’s Mexico, it’s the regular season, and it’s history in the making! For the first time in its illustrious 86-year history, the NFL will play a regular-season game outside the United States. On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals will host the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City, Mexico at Estadio Azteca that has been reconfigured to hold 85,000 fans (ESPN/ESPN Deportes, 8:30 PM ET). The NFC West clubs will renew an old rivalry – they first met in 1951 – in a new setting, as passionate fans of “Fútbol Americano” get ready to make history. “Mexico is the country with the most NFL fans outside of the United States,” says NFL Commissioner PAUL TAGLIABUE. “Our fans in Mexico are knowledgeable and passionate and they are ready for this next step. The Cardinals and 49ers play in markets with large Hispanic communities, including many people of Mexican decent. This game will generate new excitement both in Mexico and in Hispanic communities throughout the United States. It promises to become a milestone in the NFL’s history as a global sport.” Perhaps few understand the passion of Mexican fans more than RAUL ALLEGRE, who spent nine years as a kicker in the NFL, helping the New York Giants to a victory in Super Bowl XXI.

    APBA Great Teams of the Past Football Season Card Set Volume 1 The following players comprise the Great team of the Past Vol. 1 APBA 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. 1942 CHICAGO 1950 CLEVELAND 1962 GREEN BAY 1968 BALTIMORE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE Wide Receiver: John Siegel Wide Receiver: Mac Speedie Wide Receiver: Boyd Dowler PA Wide Receiver: Willie Richardson George Wilson Dante Lavelli Max McGee PB Jimmy Orr Hampton Pool Horace Gillom OC PA Gary Barnes Alex Hawkins Connie Mack Berry George Young Tackle: Bob Skoronski Ray Perkins Bob Nowaskey Tackle: Lou Groza KA KOA Forrest Gregg Gail Cogdill Clint Wager Lou Rymkus OC Norm Masters Tackle: Bob Vogel Tackle: Ed Kolman Chubby Gregg KB KOB Guard: Fuzzy Thurston Sam Ball Lee Artoe KB KOB John Sanusky Jerry Kramer KA KOA John Williams Joe Stydahar KB KOB John Kissell Ed Blaine Guard: Glenn Ressler Bill Hempel Guard: Weldon Humble Center: Jim Ringo Dan Sullivan Al Hoptowit Lin

    June 10, 2020 Re: Amash-Pressley Ending Qualified Immunity Act Dear Members of the United States Congress: We are more than 1,400 current and former professional athletes and coaches from across the National Football League, National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball in America. We are tired of conversations around police accountability that go nowhere, and we have engaged in too many “listening sessions” where we discuss whether there is a problem of police violence in this country. There is a problem. The world witnessed it when Officer Chauvin murdered George Floyd, and the world is watching it now, as officers deploy enormous force on peaceful protestors like those who were standing outside of the White House last week. The time for debate about the unchecked authority of the police is over; it is now time for change. We are writing to ask that you pass the bill to end qualified immunity introduced by Representatives Justin Amash and Ayanna Pressley. Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act in 1871 to give ordinary citizens recourse when powerful public officials violate constitutional rights. By passing that Act, codified in 42 U.S.C. 1983, Congress told its citizenry that no one is above the law, especially those who abuse government power. A healthy democracy requires no less; citizens must know that if those who promise to uphold the law and protect the community fail to do so, there is a remedy available. The law, as one author has noted, is “a bulwark of American liberty.” ​ ​ The Supreme Court has caused irreparable harm to public trust by creating and then expanding the doctrine of qualified immunity, which often exempts police officers and others from liability, even for shocking abuse.
