  • Are You Ready for Some Super-Senior Football?
    Oldest living players Are you ready for some super-senior football? Starting East team quarterback Ace Parker (Information was current as of May 2013 when article appeared in Sports Collectors Digest magazine) By George Vrechek Can you imagine a tackle football game featuring the oldest living NFL players with some of the guys in their 90s? Well to tell the truth, I can’t really imagine it either. However that doesn’t stop me from fantasizing about the possibility of a super-senior all-star game featuring players who appeared on football cards. After SCD featured my articles earlier this year about the (remote) possibility of a game involving the oldest living baseball players, you knew it wouldn’t be long before you read about the possibility of a super-senior football game. Old-timers have been coming back to baseball parks for years to make cameo appearances. Walter Johnson pitched against Babe Ruth long after both had retired. My earlier articles proposed the possibility of getting the oldest baseball players (ranging in age from 88 to 101) back for one more game. While not very likely, it is at least conceivable. Getting the oldest old-timers back for a game of tackle football, on the other hand, isn’t very likely. We can probably think about a touch game, but the players would properly insist that touch is not the same game. If the game were played as touch football, the plethora of linemen would have to entertain one another, while the players in the skill positions got to run around and get all the attention, sort of like it is now in the NFL, except the linemen are knocking themselves silly.

He’s the only coach with at least 200 NFL wins in the regular season who isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Marty made bad teams good, and good teams better over the course of a coaching career that lasted more than 30 years. He has a better winning percentage than Chuck Noll, Tom Landry and Marv Levy – all Hall of Famers. “He not only won everywhere he went, but he won immediately everywhere he went,” wrote Ernie Accorsi in the forward to Schottenheimer’s autobiography. “That is rare, believe me.” The blemish in his resume is that he didn’t win the next-to-last game of the NFL season, let alone the last game. The easy comparison is to Chuck Knox, another fine coach from Western Pennsylvania who won a lot of games but never took that last step either. In other words, Schottenheimer never made it to a Super Bowl as a head coach. Even so, he ranks with the best in the coaching business in his time. Martin Edward Schottenheimer was born on September 23, 1943, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. That’s about 22 miles from Pittsburgh to the southwest.

  • The Oldest Living Heisman Winners and Their Cards
    The Oldest Living Heisman Winners and their Cards By George Vrechek There are approximately 1.1 million students playing high school football in the U.S. It is estimated that 67,000 play football at all college levels. There are 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools offering 85 scholarships each to 10,200 players. Each year one college player receives the Heisman Trophy. Of the Heisman Trophy winners prior to 1955, two of them are still alive. I was fortunate to talk to both of them about their careers, cards, and memorabilia. Johnny Lujack, Heisman ‘47 Johnny Lujack was on the cover of national magazines, signed a lucrative pro contract, and was featured on numerous cards despite playing before the boom days of card collecting and only playing professionally for four years. Lujack (89) played for Notre Dame in 1943, served in the Navy in 1944 and 1945 (V-12 Program), and returned to Notre Dame for 1946 and 1947. He was drafted #4 overall in the 1946 NFL draft and played for the Chicago Bears from 1948 to 1951. He was athletic, smart, and handsome. At Connellsville High School, south of Pittsburgh, Lujack lettered in three sports, was elected class president, and graduated as the valedictorian. Lujack’s Notre Dame teams coached by Frank Leahy went 26-1-1 and won three national AP titles the three years he played varsity football. In 1947 Notre Dame was 9-0, and Lujack passed for 777 yards and ran for 139 yards. (In 2012 Heisman Winner Johnny Manziel passed for 3,706 yards and ran for 1,410 yards.) In the Heisman voting Lujack had 742 votes, Bob Chappius 555, Doak Walker 196, and Charley Conerly 186.

  • LYNN CHANDNOIS: the Steeler 'Money' Back of the 1950S
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 2 (1995) LYNN CHANDNOIS: The Steeler 'Money' Back of the 1950s By Jim Sargent Lynn Chandnois may be remembered today mainly by longtime pro football fans. But a look at his career and his stats illustrates that for a few years he was regarded as one of the National Football League's top halfbacks. Jerry Nuzum, a standout halfback and defensive back for the Steelers during 1948-1951, commented on Chandnois greatness for Jim O'Brien of the Pittsburgh Press at a 1979 old-timers reunion. "Lynn had everything: size, speed, and shiftiness," Nuzum pointed out. "But Walt Kiesling was our coach, and he didn't know how to deal with players. Those coaches today do a lot of teaching. We were expected to know how to play." What is Chandnois' story? After his parents died, Lynn, who was born on February 24, 1925, in Michigan's upper peninsula, moved to Flint to live with an aunt and go to school. He was a talented natural athlete who loved competing in all sports. At Flint Central High he earned All-State honors in both basketball and football. But after graduating in 1944, he joined the Naval Air Corps and served for two years. Standing 6'2" and weighing 195 pounds when he entered Michigan State in 1946, the 21-year-old freshman started at forward and won the varsity "S" for basketball. But after one season he got married and concentrated on football. One year later Lynn and Mary, living in a campus apartment, had their first daughter, Lynda, and Suzanne came a few years later.
