Before a national television audience on ABC Monday night, America will learn if the San Diego Chargers’ offense – outfitted in its classic 1960s uniform – can move through the Pittsburgh Steelers in a matchup of 2004 division champions. San Diego (2-2) has won back-to-back games in impressive fashion. In the past two weeks, running back LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON has darted for 326 yards and five touchdowns while throwing a TD pass and adding 62 receiving yards for good measure. Quarterback DREW BREES has completed a whopping 38 of 46 passes (82.6 percent) with four touchdowns and no interceptions in those two wins. Pittsburgh (2-1), rested after a bye week, counters with a pass rush averaging one sack every 7.7 pass plays – best in the NFL. A defensive front seven with four All-Stars will challenge the hot Chargers. Offensively, despite his last name, running back WILLIE PARKER is anything but stationary, standing fifth in the AFC with 327 yards despite the bye. And oh, by the way, quarterback BEN ROETHLISBERGER wears a shiny 131.8 passer rating – the league’s highest.

  • Dan Hampton - Biography
    Dan Hampton - Biography Dan Hampton also known as "Danimal" was born September 19, 1957 and is a retired Hall of Fame American football defensive tackle who played twelve seasons for the Chicago Bears from 1979 to 1990 in the National Football League. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Previously hosted pre- and post-game shows for the Bears on WGN Radio in Chicago. College Career Hampton played college football at Arkansas and was drafted in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Bears. He was part of a Razorback team that thumped the highly favored Oklahoma Sooners in the 1978 Orange Bowl by a score of 31-6. Several key Razorback players had been suspended for the game by Arkansas Head Coach Lou Holtz which left the team short-handed. The fired up Razorbacks charged from the locker room in a fashion that the media noticed. When asked why the team came out of the locker room in such a hurry the wry Hampton answered, "Coach Holtz said the last eleven out of the locker room will start". As a senior Hampton was an All-American as he logged 98 tackles (18 behind the line of scrimmage). He was also named the Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1978. In addition, that same season, Hampton was named by the Houston Post the SWC Player of the Year.[2] As a junior he had 70 tackles (8 for a loss). In 1976, as a sophomore, Hampton made 48 tackles (2 for losses) and recovered two fumbles.

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.

  • 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.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.

  • Where It All Began
    Council of Ravens Roost - SPOTLIGHT Page 1 of 3 March 2005 Volume I - 05-03 WHERE IT ALL BEGAN FROM THE BEGINNING Ravens Roost No.1 started in 1957 as Colts Corral #1. Under the leadership of Leo Novak and Ed Loud, and along with the blessings of Don Kellett, general manager, and Ray Gilland of the Baltimore Colts, the era of the Baltimore Football Fan Club was birthed. The first official meeting was May 18, 1957 at Hahn's Hall on Washington and Jefferson Streets in Baltimore City. Meetings were held twice monthly during the football season, and once monthly during the off-season. The Colts Corral Logo Some of the famous visitors to the Corral meetings in the early years included Don Kellett, Weeb Eubank, Joe Croghan, L.G. Dupre, John Steadman, Johnny Unitas, Art Donovan, Bailey Goss, Joe Bellino, and other players on the Navy football team. In October 1957, Colts Corral #2 was formed with Hurst Loudenslager as president. 'Loudy' as he was known, was instrumental in the formation of the Council of Colts Corrals in 1964. 'Loudy' was a Colts fan icon in the 60's and 70's. By July 1959 the football fervor had grown to four Corrals. In 1961 Corral #1 had its first Annual Appreciation Dinner for the Colts Head Coach Weeb Eubank and his coaching staff. This event continued for many years. During the late 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's, Colts Corral #1 was a leader in booking trips to out of town games by charter airplane, bus, or train.

  • Mutscheller, Steady Baltimore Colt, Was a 'Catholic Gentleman'
    Mutscheller, steady Baltimore Colt, was a ‘Catholic gentleman’ By Paul McMullen [email protected] Twitter: @ReviewMcMullen A national TV audience saw Jim Mutscheller excel in the final two plays of the Baltimore Colts’ 1958 NFL title game win over the New York Giants in overtime. “The Greatest Game Ever Played” remains a cultural landmark, a vital leap in growing the remarkable popularity of American pro football. Some mornings at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Homeland, meanwhile, the only person witnessing Mutscheller’s dedication was the priest celebrating Mass. “My Dad went to 6:45 a.m. Mass every morning at the cathedral,” said his son, Jim. “When the altar boys didn’t show, he was up there, bringing the water and wine to the priest, ringing the bells.” Mutscheller, 85, died April 10 of kidney failure. He played tight end for the Colts from 1954 to 1961, when their roster was filled with celebrities and Catholics. Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Johnny Unitas and others made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Mutscheller won their admiration and respect, first with his low-key demeanor and performance, then for the values he exhibited as a family man and Catholic philanthropist. “Jim epitomized the faith,” said Father Christopher Whatley, the pastor of St. Mark in Catonsville. “He was the Catholic layman at its finest.” Related article: Donovan loved his family more than he loved himself Mutscheller grew up in Beaver Falls, Pa., where he was raised in St. Mary’s Parish and attended its grade school. According to a 1956 profile in the Catholic Review, one of his aunts was a Sister of Divine Providence.
