    Central Michigan University From the SelectedWorks of Adam Epstein Fall 2013 Surveying Colorado Sports Law Adam Epstein, Central Michigan University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/adam_epstein/31/ Surveying Colorado Sports Law by Adam Epstein* Introduction The purpose of this article is to provide an overview and explore some of the major sports law cases that have emanated from within the four corners of the state of Colorado or maneuvered through Denver’s Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.1 With a population of just over five million people, the twenty-second most populous in the United States, it is apparent that Colorado has had an impact on the discussion of sports law at the national level rivaling more populous states.2 Also known as the Centennial State, having been admitted to the Union in 1876, Coloradans have the luxury of volumes of ski slopes, vivid and mountainous landscapes, and the state boasts numerous nationally prominent colleges and universities, including those with premier sports teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Division I, such as the University of Colorado (Boulder), Colorado State University (Fort Collins), the United States Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs), the University of Denver, and most recently the University of Northern Colorado (Greeley).3 * Professor, Department of Finance and Law, Central Michigan University. 1 The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit is comprised of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. It is based in Denver. See The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, http://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/ (last visited July 11, 2012).

  • FIELD GOAL KICKIN' – the 1976 Oakland Raiders
    FIELD GOAL KICKIN’ – The 1976 Oakland Raiders By Dean Gearhart 3/2/15 During the last episode, I noted that in the 1977 Topps football card set, one of the few teams that did not have a kicker represented in the set was the defending champion Oakland Raiders. I fast-forwarded to my 1978 set. Ah, there he is…… Errol Mann. Turning Errol’s card to the back, I see that he was, in fact, the Raiders kicker on their championship team. I also saw that he has a pilot’s license…..very nice…..and in 1976 he connected for 26 Extra points for Oakland……. …….and 4 field goals…… (record scratching sound effect)……4 field goals? Do what? I quickly turned to pro-football-reference.com to check the stats for the 1976 Oakland Raiders and it turns out that Errol took over for an injured Fred Steinfort. Well, that makes sense then. Steinfort had made 4 field goals of his own before getting injured, making for a grand total of……uh……8 field goals…….for the world champion Raiders. Really? When one thinks of the 1976 Raiders many images come to mind. They were led by quarterback Kenny “The Snake” Stabler and coached by the legendary John Madden. Their defense included Ted Hendricks (“The Stork”), John Matuszak (“The Tooz”), Skip Thomas (“Dr. Death”) and Jack Tatum (“The Assassin”). They finished the regular season a dominant 13-1-0, with a Week 4 blowout loss at New England the only blemish on their record. As fortune would have it, the Raiders would get a chance to avenge that lone defeat when they hosted New England in the first round of the AFC playoffs.
