  • 1941 Championship Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 2 (1986) 1941 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME By Bob Carroll The 1941 National Football League Championship Game was held two weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Held on even terms for more than a half, the Chicago Bears won their second consecutive National Football League Championship by defeating the New York Giants 37-9 with a surge of power in the last two periods. A pair of touchdowns in the third quarter followed by another pair in the fourth made the Bears the first team to repeat as champions since the institution of the league championship game. A skimpy crowd of 13,341 – smallest of the season at Wrigley Field – saw the contest. The gate, smaller than that netted when these same two teams met in a pre-season exhibition game, cut heavily into the participating players' pool. Each Bear received $430.94; each Giant $288.70. The second place teams – the Packers and Brooklyn – divided a pool of $1,564.04. The gross receipts, including radio, were $46,184.05. In part, the crowd was held down by the anticlimactic nature of the game; the Giants were given little chance of derailing the Bears' championship express. Even more responsible was the depressing news coming out of the Pacific where American forces were retreating before the Japanese. Football seemed rather unimportant when viewed in context of the world situation. Two players who appeared in the game – Young Bussey and John Lummus – would be killed in action before the war ended. The Bears were kept in the game during the first half by the sure foot of Bob Snyder who booted three field goals, but the second half produced a deluge of Chicago points.

  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

  • When the Nfl Had Character
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 1 (1995) WHEN THE NFL HAD CHARACTER By Stanley Grosshandler Two generations of football fans have grown up since the 1953 season, part of the decade called "The Golden Age of the NFL." Younger fans today may find it surprising to learn that the NFL was losing star players back then to the draft (remember the draft?) and to the Canadian Football League. The Korean Conflict had siphoned several top men into the service, including Cleveland tackle Bob Gain, the Cardinals great Ollie Matson, and San Francisco's versatile tackle Bob Toneff. Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League made some inroads by luring a handful north of the border. Among the emmigrants were Cleveland's star end Mac Speedie, the Giants' center-tackle Tex Coulter and defensive end Ray Poole, San Francisco defensive back Jim Cason, and an Eagle receiver named Bud Grant who would return a dozen years later as a coach. Although these and several other well-known players missed the 1953 season, the league still continued to grow in popularity -- due in part to the individual aura that made each team special. Teams then had a their own particular character and each had an identifiable leader. They were not the plastic, look-alike teams who strive today for parity (another name for mediocracy) and play for the field goal. Reviewing those rosters of forty years ago can still produce chills among some "veteran" fans. The Cleveland Browns had the confidence and composure of their coach Paul Brown. They did not have to be told they were winners.
