  • Pro Football Hall of Fame Top Twenty Scorers
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16. No. 3 (1994) PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TOP TWENTY SCORERS CANTON, OHIO – Nick Lowery of the Kansas City Chiefs registered another strong season in 1993 to continue his climb in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Top Twenty scoring display. One of the biggest attention-getters at the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Top Twenty display lists in an attractive, four-sided, translited pylon the leading lifetime statistical leaders in rushing, receiving, passing and scoring. All four sides of the display are updated weekly throughout every NFL season. The Hall of Fame listings differ from all other similar rankings in that statistics from the All-America Football Conference are included as well as those from the American and National Football Leagues. Among the Top Twenty scorers, only Lou Groza of the Cleveland Browns played in the AAFC. Counting his four years in the AAFC, Groza ranks third all-time with 1,608 points. Without his 259 points that came in the AAFC, Groza would be No. 9. Lowery’s 106-point output in 1993 allowed him to jump four places to No. 4 among the scoring elite. The 14-year NFL veteran now trails only three Hall of Famers – George Blanda, Jan Stenerud and Groza. Several other kickers active during the 1993 NFL season advanced among the upper echelon of players ranked in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Top Twenty scoring display. Like fine wine, 13-season veteran Eddie Murray seems to get better with age. He joined the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 of the season and booted a career-best 122 points to move him three places into 10th place.

  • WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? BJORN NITTMO? Kicker Bjorn Nittmo Chased His NFL Dream for More Than a Decade, Including a Stop in Training Camp with the Buffalo Bills
    WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? BJORN NITTMO? Kicker Bjorn Nittmo chased his NFL dream for more than a decade, including a stop in training camp with the Buffalo Bills. He became a recurring character on 'Late Night with David Letterman.' A head injury left Nittmo so shattered that he walked out on his wife and four children. Years later, he continues to drop in, unannounced and unkempt, before taking off again. His estranged family wants him to get help before it's too late. By Tim Graham / News Sports Reporter Illustration by Daniel Zakroczemski / Buffalo News Published Sept. 1, 2016 Bjorn Nittmo is somewhere out there, presumably in the Arizona mountains, maybe installing home-satellite systems but almost certainly running from himself. Eleven years ago he stopped coming home to his wife and four children. The youngest was 6 months old. He had lost part of his memory and still complains about the constant howling in his head from a concussive whomp. He has filed for bankruptcy and faced at least six civil judgments or liens. At some point he began using a different name. There might be a sinister reason to take on an alias, or perhaps he simply grew tired of people asking if he was that Bjorn Nittmo. Yes, he’s the same guy David Letterman introduced in 1989 as “the only Bjorn Nittmo in the New Jersey phonebook.” In actuality he’s the only Bjorn Nittmo in the world, though he is more peculiar than even that. Nittmo was the left-footed, southern-drawled, Swedish placekicker the media treated like a geegaw from a Cracker Barrel store.
