  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    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.

  • Robert James
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Robert James This article was written by Budd Bailey The human knee has many functions, and usually does them well, but it sometimes can’t handle the load and gives out. This is particularly true for highly skilled athletes, who ask their knees to do super-human things at high speeds while risking some sort of contact along the way. Medical research has come a long way over the years in repairing that particular joint. But it took us a while to reach that point, and the record book contains a number of players who never fully recovered from knee injuries. A few of them never even could play again. Photo Credit Robert James Inevitably, such injuries lead to “What if?” discussions. What if Joe Namath had been able to stay healthy for his entire career? What if Gale Sayers had been able to move like he did as a rookie for the next decade? In Buffalo, the question asked in the 1970s was, what if Robert James had not suffered a career-ending injury in the prime of his football life? Let’s take a look at the football career of the last name on that list. Robert Dematrice James was born on July 7, 1947, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. His nickname around the house was “Burr,” since a younger sister couldn’t pronounce “Brother.” He went to Holloway High School in that city. James is the only pro football player to come out of Holloway, and he probably won’t have much company in the near 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com future.

  • When the Buffalo Bills Rode High
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 5 (1996) WHEN THE BUFFALO BILLS RODE HIGH by Stan Grosshandler (Originally published in Pro Football Digest) "Count me in with Buffalo!" These words, spoken by Ralph Wilson Jr. to the founders of the American Football League, heralded the return of Buffalo to the pro football scene after an absence of 11 years. The metropolis on the shores of Lake Erie has had a long and distinguished place in the history of professional football. The city's first team, the Buffalo All-Americans of 1920, was a member of the American Professional Football Association, forerunner of the NFL. This club lasted until 1927 and was also known as the Bisons and Rangers. Some of the finest players of that period played for Buffalo, stars such as Eddie Casey, Lud Wray, Elmer Oliphant, Tommy Hughitt, Lou Little and Tiny Thornhill. The second team to represent the city was in the third abortive AFL of 194-41. This team was called the Indians and then the Tigers. A third and more substantial team appeared in 1946, the Bills of the All- America Conference. Playing the entire four years of the AAFC, they won their division the third year. After Wilson obtained the franchise in October of 1959, he selected his first draft choice, Richie Lucas; named the team the Bills, and signed his first player Joe Schaffer. The name had infinitely more success than the players. When Wilson got around to naming his coach he selected Garrard "Buster" Ramsey. Ramsey had been a fine guard for the Cardinals and for the previous eight years had been defensive coach of the Lions.

  • 1965 Afl Championship Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 23, No. 6 (2001) 1965 AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME By Ken Crippen The San Diego Chargers were a seven-point favorite to win the game, but most experts believed that they would win by a larger margin. How could you not think that the Chargers would win easily? They were ranked first in passing offense, first in rushing offense, first in passing defense, and first in running defense. The Buffalo Bills were second in rushing defense, but seventh in total offense. San Diego coach Sid Gillman was so confident of his victory, he told a Buffalo News reporter “You know, there is no way we can lose this game on Sunday…We’re going to win this game because Kemp has the maturity of a 10-year-old girl.” The Chargers had stars like flanker Lance Alworth, quarterback John Hadl, running back Paul Lowe, Keith Lincoln, and defensive tackle Ernie Ladd. The Bills traded away their star running back, Cookie Gilchrist, before the season. Their best receivers Elbert Dubenion and Glenn Bass were lost due to injury. Backup receiver Charley Ferguson took over for Bass, but pulled a hamstring three weeks prior to this game and was not activated. Center Dave Behrman did not play due to muscle spasms in his back. The Bills also lost safeties Gene Sykes and Tom Keating for the season. As if things could not get any worse for Buffalo, guard Billy Shaw was injured on the first play of the game and did not return until the second half. The Bills won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball, starting their first series of the game with three straight runs (one by Billy Joe and two by Wray Carlton) gaining 10 yards and a first down.
