Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve its History, Promote its Values & Celebrate Excellence EVERYWHERE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE @ProFootballHOF 09/15/2016 Contact: Pete Fierle, Chief of Staff & Vice President of Communications [email protected]; 330-588-3622 ORLANDO PACE & OTHER RAMS HALL OF FAMERS TO RECEIVE RING OF EXCELLENCE IN LA SUNDAY ADDITIONAL HALL OF FAME TRIBUTES TAKING PLACE AROUND THE NFL DURING WEEK 2 CANTON, OHIO – The Pro Football Hall of Fame and Kay® Jewelers, the Official Jewelry Store of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will honor Class of 2016 enshrinee ORLANDO PACE and other Hall of Famers from the Rams, during a special halftime presentation at the team’s regular season opener against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. The game marks the return of the Rams to Los Angeles, the city where the team called home from 1946 to 1994. Pace will be the first member of the Class of 2016 to receive his Ring of Excellence this season when the Hall’s President David Baker presents it on Sunday. The Hall of Fame Ring of Excellence is one of three iconic symbols that represent the elite status of being a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Pace received his Hall of Fame Gold Jacket on Thursday night of Enshrinement Week in Canton, and unveiled his Bronzed Bust during the Enshrinement Ceremony two days later. All three symbols will be displayed during the ring presentation on Sunday. Pace will wear his Hall of Fame Gold Jacket and his Bronzed Bust will be temporarily removed from the Hall of Fame and shipped to the LA Memorial Coliseum for the Ring of Excellence ceremony. Pace is one of 17 longtime members of the Rams franchise to be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is also the 22nd offensive tackle to make his way to Canton. The Sandusky, Ohio native was the No. 1 pick of the 1997 NFL Draft by the Rams and is one of just 14 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame to have been drafted first COMMITMENT • INTEGRITY • COURAGE • RESPECT • EXCELLENCE overall. He became the cornerstone of the Rams’ high-powered offense that earned the nickname “greatest show on turf” when the team produced three straight years of scoring more than 500 points. He was voted to seven Pro Bowls, named All-Pro five times and selected to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000s. Pace, who grew up just two hours from the Hall of Fame, shared these thoughts during his Enshrinement speech last month: “I am honored and humbled to stand here today, for along with my induction, this occasion marks a fulfillment of each and every goal I've established for myself in football since the age of 13. For at 13, following a basketball tournament here in Canton, I toured the Hall of Fame and was inspired; me, a kid from Sandusky, that I too could be here one day as well. This became my first goal, and now here I am, 27 years later, standing in Canton, Ohio, accepting this incredible honor. From high school, through college, to the final game of my career, my goal never wavered. It has always been to be the very best I can be. Hear what I'm saying, the very best I can be. Not simply in football but in life. Throughout, the Hall of Fame was the pinnacle, my Matterhorn, which I strived to ascend. I never spoke to anybody about my goals, but it fueled the fire inside me that I unleashed in every game I played.” As part of the partnership between the Hall of Fame and Kay® Jewelers, all living members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame will receive the new Ring of Excellence that was redesigned by Kay® Jewelers in 2013. This year marks the second of three seasons in which the Ring of Excellence will be presented to the Hall of Famers in special ceremonies. In addition to Pace, other Rams Hall of Famers will also be honored as part of the halftime tribute. Joining him at Sunday’s ceremony will be Rams’ greats ERIC DICKERSON (Class of 1999), MARSHALL FAULK (Class of 2011), TOM MACK (Class of 1999), JACKIE SLATER (Class of 2001), and JACK YOUNGBLOOD (Class of 2001) who will each receive their new Ring of Excellence. Family members of the late GEORGE ALLEN, DEACON JONES, and MERLIN OLSEN will be on hand for the tribute as well. The Bronzed Busts of these Rams Hall of Famers will also be displayed during the halftime event.

    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.
