Hunter Bio James Edward Hunter (March 8, 1954 – August 2, 2010) was a defensive back for the Detroit Lions in the National Football League. He was the 10th player picked in the 1976 NFL Draft. Hunter is 7th all-time for interceptions in Lions’ history. He attended Grambling State University where he majored in marketing with a concentration in management, and was a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Nicknamed "Hound Dog" for his long-striding running ability, he made an instant impact in the NFL. In his seven seasons with the Lions (1976-1982), Hunter led the Lions in three seasons in pass interceptions (1976, 1977 and 1980) and had 27 career interceptions. He played in 86 Lions games before a neck injury sustained late in the 1982 season ended his football career. In 1985, Hunter joined Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., a professional move that spanned more than 25 years. In his last position, as the Geographic Marketing and Community Outreach Manager for the Midwest area, he developed numerous programs with the Detroit Tigers, the Detroit Pistons, as well as the Detroit Lions. His big smile and warm personality enabled him to reach people from all walks of life. He was a good “ambassador” and was able to build the bridges needed to bring people together and make them feel good about themselves and the endeavor they were involved in with him. In 2009, Hunter and former teammate William Graham returned to Southeast Texas, where they became the first Silsbee High alumni placed on the school's wall of honor. Testimonials: "James was bigger than life. As a little kid in Silsbee, Texas, there wasn't much to look up to, but one guy stood out," said William Graham. "He motivated me as a kid to want to be someone better." Graham, a Silsbee native who grew up wanting to be like Hunter, followed in his footsteps to play safety for the Detroit Lions. “It was always a joy to talk to Hunter because he was a man of great humor and a warm smile. For years, he would come back and attend Lions’ practices to keep up with his old team. Even all those years later, it was my contention that he was still the best cornerback on the field,” said Tom Kowalski, sports writer. Interestingly, the only time I saw him the last couple of years was at the Detroit’s James Hunter, right, chases airport where we always seemed to end up on the same flight to the Super Bowl. Hunter, who down Chicago’s Walter Payton during traveled to the game as part of his work for Anheuser-Busch, was always engaging, smart and funny. the Thanksgiving Day game in 1977. He was one of the guys you always looked forward to seeing.” “He was a great athlete and a great guy," said Lem Barney, who played alongside Hunter. "I thought I had a lot of energy until I met James. He was always upbeat, and always had an encouraging word. He will be sorely missed.'' “James Hunter shall always be remembered as a consummate pro-on and off the field," Lions President, Tom Lewand said. "He made a significant impact on the field, in the community, as a businessman, as a business partner with the Lions in recent years, and as a husband and father.” James was a passionate philanthropist who gave unselfishly of himself to a number of causes, making a difference in the lives of others, especially youth. He even volunteered to have a surgical procedure videotaped to assist Henry Ford Hospital in training other doctors. James was a co-chair of the “Boys to Men Mentoring Program at his church, and it was because of his dedication and drive that the James E. Hunter Golf Classic was formed as a means to raise funds for causes dear to his heart. A loving husband and father, his legacy is carried on by his wife Emmalene, son Javin, daughter Marissa and three grandchildren.

  • 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.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.

  • Detroit's Thanksgiving Day Tradition
    DETROIT’S THANKSGIVING DAY TRADITION It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world's bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that's how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in 1934. That's when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. "Dick" Richards, owner of the city's new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 75 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America’s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit’s passion. DETROIT AND THANKSGIVING DAY No other team in professional sports can claim to be as much a part of an American holiday as can the Detroit Lions with Thanksgiving.
