Black Hats in a Golden Age (1950S Tough Guys)
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 4 (1993) BLACK HATS IN A GOLDEN AGE By Bob Barnett & Bob Carroll Originally published in Sports Heritage, I-1 (Jan.-Feb. 1987) Bobby Layne was a gutsy quarterback who led by macho example. "When Bobby said ‘Drink,' we drank," explained one teammate, "and when Bobby said, `Block,' we blocked!" And when Layne had an offense in high gear, it was a work of art. He would probe, plunge, and sweep with his ground game until he had a rival defense just where he wanted it, then suddenly launch one of his fluttery but devilishly effective passes for the kill. Layne's fiery play led the Detroit Lions to three division titles and two NFL championships in the early 1950's. On the afternoon of December 16, 1956, at Wrigley Field, he was ready to capture yet another Western Division crown for Detroit. The Lions' foes that day were the second-place Chicago Bears, a half-game behind and already demolished 42-10 two weeks earlier in Detroit by Layne and company. The Bears held an 3-0 lead early in the second quarter, but Lion fans weren't worried. It was an article of faith in Detroit that Bobby Layne never lost a game (although time sometimes ran out on him), and now he had three-fourths of the clock in which to accomplish victory. Early in the second stanza, Detroit began to move the ball. Layne -- still building the scaffold -- took the snap from center, stepped back, and pitched the ball to a sweeping running back. -

1952: the Dawning of Motown's Gridiron Empire
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) 1952: The Dawning of Motown’s Gridiron Empire By Doug Warren Part One: Trader Buddy In 1951, his first season as Detroit Lions’ skipper, Buddy Parker had done a marvelous job in acquiring and blending old pros, like Vince Banonis and Pat Harder, with promising youngsters, such as Jack Christiansen, LaVern Torgeson and Dorne Dibble. The result was that Buddy’s troops nearly pulled off a Western Division crown and a trip to the NFL Championship. The ‘51 season had been a turning point for the Lion franchise as the club compiled a 7-4-1 record. It was Detroit’s first winning season since 1945. Entering the 1952 National League campaign, the nucleus of a championship contender in Detroit was now established, led by the tough Texas’ twosome of Parker and his swaggering quarterback Bobby Layne. Nevertheless just as in his first year in Detroit, when he traded his first two 1952 draft picks to acquire end Jim Martin from the Cleveland Browns and the aforementioned Harder from the Chicago Cardinals, Parker refused to stand pat with his roster. Needing a reliable backup signal-caller behind Layne, he acquired Jim Hardy from the Cardinals for two expendable reserves. Then, when it was learned that Detroit’s star halfback Doak Walker would be out indefinitely due to a severe cut on his right arm caused by a jagged car window, Buddy moved another obscure performer to fill the void. The filler came in the form of disgruntled Green Bay Packer defensive back Earl “Jug” Girard. -
