  • Broncos' Emmanuel Sanders Sheds Walking Boot After Achilles Surgery
    LOOK: Broncos’ Emmanuel Sanders sheds walking boot after Achilles surgery By Kyle Fredrickson Denver Post Feb. 6, 2019 If Emmanuel Sanders’ dance moves are any indication, he’s reached an important milestone in his injury rehabilitation this offseason. Sanders, a ninth-year Broncos’ wide receiver who tore his Achilles during practice in December, posted a video Monday to Instagram of himself hopping out of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV — without a walking boot — before a quick celebratory jig. His caption read: “Slight limp but I’m finally out of the boot.” Two months have passed between Sanders’ injury and the post, but a long journey remains for him to be able to play. Former NFL team doctor David Chao told The Denver Post in December: “Recovery is not like a light switch, more of a slow sunrise. Some have returned as early as six months but may not have been 100 percent. Nine months is a good target but to really be explosive (it) could be longer and closer to a year. This is why I expect (Sanders) likely will not be ready or 100 percent for start of (the 2019) season.” However, Sanders expressed little doubt in December he’ll return to being the same playmaker he showcased in 12 games last season with a team-leading 71 receptions for 868 yards. He also accounted for six total touchdowns (four receiving, one rushing and one passing). “I’ll definitely for sure be ready for Week 1,” Sanders said in December. “This is a six-month injury. I heal fast.” Never-before-told stories about Pat Bowlen from those who know him best — his children By Mike Klis 9 News Feb.

  • The Chicago Fire of the World Football League
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 6 (1992) From Blaze to Ashes: A Brief History of the Chicago Fire of the World Football League by David Yamada The World Football League is generally regarded as one of pro football’s tragicomedies, featuring undertalented, under financed teams playing before paltry (or papered) crowds. The Chicago Fire, which played during the WFL’s maiden 1974 season, is probably best remembered for its catchy team nickname. However, for a few brief shining months, the Fire managed to capture the fancy of many Windy City football fans who were starved for a team that promised to play exciting, winning football. To understand the enthusiastic embrace which welcomed the Fire and the WFL in Chicago, one must grasp the state of the Chicago Bears during the early 1970s. The Bears of that time were hardly the marquee team they are today. Walter Payton did not arrive until 1975; he was quietly piling up yardage for Jackson State during the Fire’s first and only season. Gale Sayers had retired in 1972, and Dick Butkus had lasted only through 1973 before his battered knees also forced him to the sidelines. Bobby Douglass was the primary Bear Quarterback; in 1972, he managed to run for 968 yards while completing a comical 37.9 percent of his passes. In 1973, the Bears won only 3 of 14 games. As the Bears approached their 1974 summer training camp, a players’ strike was looming and would soon become a reality. Clearly then, there was a window of opportunity for a new professional football team in Chicago, and for a short while, the Chicago Fire took full advantage of that opportunity.

  • Seibels, George, Jr
    BIRMINGHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY Department of Archives and Manuscripts Seibels, George, Jr. Papers, 1963-1975 Biography: George G. Seibels, Jr., the first Republican Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, was born in 1912 in Coronado, California. He was the son of Rear Admiral George G. Seibels of Montgomery, Alabama and great-grandson of George Goldthwaite, a chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and a United States Senator. Seibels grew up in Virginia and graduated the University of Virginia with a degree in history in 1937. While at Virginia, he was the intramural light-heavy weight boxing champion for three years, and after graduation, spent one year playing professional football. Seibels moved to Birmingham in 1938 to work in the insurance business. In December of 1941, he enlisted in the United States Navy and was commissioned an officer in 1942, rising to the rank of Lieutenant. He served on anti-submarine duty and on a combat minesweeper in the North African and Mediterranean Theatres, participating in the assault on Italy. Returning to Birmingham after the war, Seibels co-chaired the committee responsible for the Vulcan statue’s Safety Torch. He received the Distinguished Service Award from the Alabama Jaycees for traffic safety promotion. In 1947 Birmingham won first place in the Jaycees National Safety Award contest with Seibels as Chairman of the local Traffic Safety Committee. The George G. Seibels Traffic Safety Award is now given annually by the Jaycees to the Traffic Safety Chairman whose city has had the best traffic safety program. Seibels was elected to the Birmingham City Council in 1963, served as Mayor of Birmingham from 1967 to 1975, and represented Jefferson County in the Alabama legislature from 1978 to 1990.
