Journal of Sports Analytics 2 (2016) 1–18 1 DOI 10.3233/JSA-150007 IOS Press Revisiting the ranking of outstanding professional sports records Matthew J. Liberatorea, Bret R. Myersa,∗, Robert L. Nydicka and Howard J. Weissb aVillanova University, Villanova, PA, USA bTemple University Abstract. Twenty-eight years ago Golden and Wasil (1987) presented the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for ranking outstanding sports records. Since then much has changed with respect to sports and sports records, the application and theory of the AHP, and the availability of the internet for accessing data. In this paper we revisit the ranking of outstanding sports records and build on past work, focusing on a comprehensive set of records from the four major American professional sports. We interviewed and corresponded with two sports experts and applied an AHP-based approach that features both the traditional pairwise comparison and the AHP rating method to elicit the necessary judgments from these experts. The most outstanding sports records are presented, discussed and compared to Golden and Wasil’s results from a quarter century earlier.

The Magnificent Seven
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 4 (2004) THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN by Coach TJ Troup The day after Christmas in 1954 the Cleveland Browns hosted the Detroit Lions for the NFL title. It was the third consecutive year these two teams would decide the championship. The Browns had lost three consecutive championship games, including the last two to the Lions. Browns QB Otto Graham had not played particulary well in those three losses, and since he was the “trigger” man in the Cleveland offense, and a man of intense pride, this was the “crossroads” game of his career. Graham responded to the challenge by contributing five touchdowns in a 56 to 10 victory. Otto completed 9 of 12 passes for 163 yards and 2 touchdowns, and scored 3 himself on short runs from scrimmage. Though he announced his retirement, Otto eventually returned for one final season in 1955. Graham again led the Browns to the title, this time defeating the Rams in the Los Angeles Coliseum 38 to 14. When assessing a quarterback’s career how much emphasis should be placed on his passing statistics? Long after Otto Graham retired, the NFL began to use the passer rating system to evaluate the passing efficiency of each individual quarterback. Using that system how efficient was Graham, and where does he rank in comparison with other champion quarterbacks? The passer rating system is divided into four equal categories; completion percentage per pass attempt, yards gained per pass attempt, touchdown percentage per pass attempt, and interception percentage per pass attempt. Is there a simpler way of stating this? We want our team to complete as many long passes for as many touchdowns as possible in as few attempts as possible, without throwing an interception.

Enrolled Joint Resolution
2019 Senate Joint Resolution 8 ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION Relating to: congratulating the Green Bay Packers on the occasion of their 100th anniversary and declaring August 11, 2019, Green Bay Packers Day. Whereas, a professional football team was formed in the second−floor editorial rooms of the Green Bay Press−Gazette building on August 11, 1919, and after an under−the−radar public reveal of the team two days later, it was announced that they would be named the Green Bay Packers after the team’s sponsor, the Indian Packing Co.; and Whereas, in their first season, the Packers went 10−1 under manager George Whitney Calhoun and captain Curly Lambeau with a team that was filled mostly by former standouts at Green Bay East and West High Schools and that played home games at Hagemeister Park where they covered their expenses in part by “passing a hat” for voluntary contributions; and Whereas, after two successful seasons as an independent professional football team, the Green Bay Packers joined the American Professional Football Association, soon to become the National Football League, in 1921 as the smallest city in the young league; and Whereas, the Packers survived against the odds in the team’s early years after repeated financial struggles and constant restructuring by the NFL to remove franchises from smaller cities in favor of larger markets, and now thrive in the smallest market and as the only community−owned team in major professional sports; and Whereas, the Green Bay Packers won their first World Championship in 1929, less than a

2020 Packers Activity Guide
PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn quarterback Brett Favre - Hall of fame class of 2016 GREEn BAY PACKERS Team History The incredible saga of the Green Bay Packers began in August 1919, when the Indian Packing Company agreed to sponsor a local pro football team under the direction of Earl (Curly) Lambeau. In 1921, the Packers were granted a membership in the new National Football League. Today, they rank as the third oldest team in pro football. The long and storied history of the Green Bay team is one of struggle, until comparatively recent, for financial survival off the field and playing stability on the field. The Packers’ record has been punctuated with periods of both the highest success and the deepest depths of defeat. Many great football players have performed for the Green Bay team but two coaches, Lambeau and Vince Lombardi, rank as the most dominant figures in the Packers’ epic. Between the two, Lambeau and Lombardi brought the Packers 11 NFL championships, including two record strings of three straight titles, the first in 1929, 1930 and 1931 and the second in 1965, 1966 and 1967. Those last three championships completed the Packers’ dynasty years in the 1960s, which began with Green Bay also winning NFL championships in 1961 and 1962. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Lambeau-led Packers were annual championship contenders. They won four divisional crowns and 3 NFL titles. Individually, Lambeau, Lombardi and 24 long-time Packers greats are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Brady and Brees Approach All-Time Passing Milestones As Nfl Enters Week 5
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 10/2/18 http://twitter.com/nfl345 BRADY AND BREES APPROACH ALL-TIME PASSING MILESTONES AS NFL ENTERS WEEK 5 The NFL heads into the second quarter of the regular season after an exciting Week 4 which saw seven games decided by three points or fewer, including three games in overtime. At least one game has gone to overtime in each of the first four weeks of the 2018 season, joining the 1979, 1983 and 2002 seasons as the only campaigns to feature at least one overtime game in each of its first four weeks since the regular-season overtime rule was adopted in 1974. Five teams – DALLAS, HOUSTON, OAKLAND, SEATTLE and TENNESSEE – scored game-winning points on the final play of their respective contests last week. Additionally, CINCINNATI scored a go-ahead touchdown with seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Bengals a 37-36 win over Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium last week. This is the first time since Week 3 of the 2012 season (six) that at least six games had the game-winning points scored in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. Close games and high-powered offenses have highlighted a thrilling first four weeks. Week 5 promises more of the same. Two of the NFL’s all-time greats at the quarterback position – New England’s TOM BRADY and New Orleans’ DREW BREES – enter Week 5 with their eyes on history. With 201 passing yards on Monday night against Washington (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), Brees (71,740 passing yards) can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (71,838) and PEYTON MANNING (71,940) to become the NFL’s all-time leading passer.
