HALL OF FAME DONATES SHIRTS TO THOSE IN NEED The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Youth & Education team worked with the National Association of the Bahamas to send shirts to those in need after the region was devastated by Hurricane Dorian. Nearly 2,000 Hall of Fame logoed shirts were shipped to Fort Lauderdale, Florida before being disseminated to the Ranfurly Homes for Children in Nassau as well as several churches and parishes in Grand Bahama and Nassau. ANDRE TIPPETT INSPIRES STUDENTS The Heart of a Hall of Famer series, powered by Extreme Networks, provides students the opportunity to learn first-hand what it took beyond athletic ability for legendary Heroes of the Game to achieve success on and off the field. The program focuses on the Hall of Fame’s core values of commitment, integrity, courage, respect and excellence. On Thursday, Hall of Fame linebacker ANDRE TIPPETT took part in a Heart of a Hall of Famer program hosted at McKinley High School located adjacent to the Hall of Fame. Over 540 participants from 17 different schools attended the program including: • West Branch High School (Beloit, Ohio) • East High School (Youngstown, Ohio) • Perry High School (Massillon, Ohio) • Heritage Middle School (Painesville, Ohio) • Project Rebuild (Canton, Ohio) • Glenville High School (Cleveland, Ohio) • Twinsburg (Ohio) High School • Malvern (Ohio) High School • St. Sebastian School (Akron, Ohio) • Multi-County Juvenile Attention System – Canton (Ohio) Local September 16-19, 2020 A once-in-every- other-lifetime celebration to kick off the NFL’s next century in the city where the league was born. • Yeshiva High School of Cleveland (Beachwood, Ohio) • Vermilion (Ohio) High School • Crenshaw Middle School (Canton, Ohio) • Hartford Middle School (Canton, Ohio) • Glenoak High School (Canton, Ohio) • Summit Academy Canton Secondary (Canton, Ohio) • Stark County (Ohio) YMCA Partners The students had the opportunity to engage with Tippett, who starred for the New England Patriots from 1982 to 1993. One student asked if there was anyone Tippett studied who played in the NFL before him. “Deacon Jones, Jack Ham Bobby Bell, Thomas Henderson . watch the great one out there. I tell people today, the highest form of flattery is to emulate people that do great things and that’s on the field, off the field, in school out of school, anybody that does great things. And you feel like you have the opportunity to do those things and contribute – study those people,” Tippett shared. 12 BRONZED BUSTS DISPLAYED AT CARDINALS FANTENNIAL CELEBRATION As part of the Arizona Cardinals Fantennial Celebration, the team is hosting a 'Hall of Fame Day' at State Farm Stadium tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Cardinals fans are invited to the free event, which will feature a Q&A session and autographs with Cardinals Hall of Famers AENEAS WILLIAMS and ROGER WEHRLI as well as other alumni.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) THE 1920s ALL-PROS IN RETROSPECT By Bob Carroll Arguments over who was the best tackle – quarterback – placekicker – water boy – will never cease. Nor should they. They're half the fun. But those that try to rank a player in the 1980s against one from the 1940s border on the absurd. Different conditions produce different results. The game is different in 1985 from that played even in 1970. Nevertheless, you'd think we could reach some kind of agreement as to the best players of a given decade. Well, you'd also think we could conquer the common cold. Conditions change quite a bit even in a ten-year span. Pro football grew up a lot in the 1920s. All things considered, it's probably safe to say the quality of play was better in 1929 than in 1920, but don't bet the mortgage. The most-widely published attempt to identify the best players of the 1920s was that chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee in celebration of the NFL's first 50 years. They selected the following 18-man roster: E: Guy Chamberlin C: George Trafton Lavie Dilweg B: Jim Conzelman George Halas Paddy Driscoll T: Ed Healey Red Grange Wilbur Henry Joe Guyon Cal Hubbard Curly Lambeau Steve Owen Ernie Nevers G: Hunk Anderson Jim Thorpe Walt Kiesling Mike Michalske Three things about this roster are striking. First, the selectors leaned heavily on men already enshrined in the Hall of Fame. There's logic to that, of course, but the scary part is that it looks like they didn't do much original research.

  • 75Th Anniversary of Oldest Record in Books
    “OLDEST RECORD IN BOOKS” SET 75 YEARS AGO On November 28, 1929 -- Thanksgiving Day -- Chicago Cardinals halfback ERNIE NEVERS produced one of the most memorable performances in NFL history. On a snow-covered field at Comiskey Park before 7,000 fans, Nevers scored all of the Cardinals’ 40 points, on six rushing touchdowns and four extra points, in their 40-6 win over the crosstown rival Chicago Bears. “This was a game we just had to win,” said Nevers in the book Ernie Nevers, Football Hero. “We were in the throes of deep frustration. In the previous four games against our bitter crosstown rival, we hadn’t scored a single touchdown. Someone had to do something about it.” Nevers certainly did. His records for rushing touchdowns in a game (6) and total points scored in a game (40) have never been broken, and stand as the oldest individual single-game records in league history. Only two other players in the history of the league have ever scored six total touchdowns in a game – Dub Jones of the Cleveland Browns in 1951 (four rushing and two receiving) and Gale Sayers of the Chicago Bears in 1965 (four rushing, one receiving and one punt return). “The final score: Bears 6, Nevers 40!,” said Chicago Bears founder and then-coach GEORGE HALAS in his book Halas. “Nevers was properly cheered by the 8,000 or so people, including the entire Notre Dame team brought there by (KNUTE) ROCKNE for a postseason course.” The previous week against the Dayton Triangles, Nevers had again scored all of his team’s points in a 19-0 shutout.
