  • Why John Madden Football Has Been Such a Success
    Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Kevin Dious STS 145: The History of Computer Game Design: Technology, Culture, Business Professor: Henry Lowood March 18, 2002 Why John Madden Football Has Been Such A Success Case History Athletic competition has been a part of the human culture since its inception. One of the most popular and successful sports of today’s culture is American football. This sport has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, and like the video game industry, has become a multi-billion entity. It was only a matter of time until game developers teamed up with the National Football League (NFL) to bring magnificent sport to video game players across the globe. There are few, if any, game genres that are as popular as sports games. With the ever-increasing popularity of the NFL, it was inevitable that football games would become one of the most lucrative of the sports game genre. With all of the companies making football games for consoles and PCs during the late 1980s and 1990s, there is one particular company that clearly stood and remains above the rest, Electronic Arts. EA Sports, the sports division of Electronic Arts, revolutionized not only the football sports games but also the entire sports game genre itself. Before Electronic Arts entered the sports realm, league licenses, celebrity endorsements, and re-release of games were all unheard of. EA was one of the first companies to release the same game annually, creating several series of games that are thriving even today.

  • Norv Brings Impressive Resume to San Diego
    Phillips, Cont’d. Following are the Texas natives to coach the Dallas Cowboys: YEARS AS COWBOYS RECORD AS COWBOYS NAME HOMETOWN COLLEGE HEAD COACH HEAD COACH Tom Landry Mission, Texas Texas 1960-1988 270-178-6 Jimmy Johnson Port Arthur, Texas Arkansas 1989-1993 44-36 Wade Phillips Orange, Texas Houston 2007-?? ??? NORV BRINGS IMPRESSIVE RESUME TO SAN DIEGO Considered one of the great offensive minds in the NFL, new San Diego Chargers head coach NORV TURNER has some pretty elite pupils singing his praises. Turner was the offensive coordinator for the dominant Dallas Cowboys teams of the early 1990’s and in the process coached Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback TROY AIKMAN. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if Norv Turner had not entered my life, I wouldn’t be joining these men in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” said Aikman during his induction speech at the 2006 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony in Canton, Ohio. Turner arrived in Dallas in 1991 and promptly turned around one of the worst offenses in the NFL. He gave guidance and direction to Aikman, who stated that Turner “had the single biggest influence on my career.” Turner also had an influence and played a strong role in the development of some successful athletes on the defensive side of the ball. As the defensive backs coach for USC in 1980, Turner coached Pro Football Hall of Famer RONNIE LOTT, six-time Pro Bowler DENNIS SMITH, and current Tennessee Titans head coach JEFF FISHER. “I’ve known Norv for more than 25 years, since I was at USC,” says Fisher.

  • Despite Inexperience, Broncos Confident in Rookie Linebacker Justin Hollins’ Versatility by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post May 19, 2019
    Despite inexperience, Broncos confident in rookie linebacker Justin Hollins’ versatility By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post May 19, 2019 He appeared in 52 games for Oregon. He was an outside linebacker, a defensive end, and an outside linebacker again. He played for three head coaches and three defensive coordinators. Justin Hollins saw a lot during his five years on the Ducks’ campus, but not what he experienced during the Broncos’ rookie camp last week. A chance to play inside linebacker. “It was mainly during the (East-West Shrine Game) that I played inside,” Hollins said. And that’s it. Hollins was the Defensive MVP of that game, one reason that the Broncos drafted him in the fifth round last month. He is working at outside linebacker in the Broncos’ base defense and inside linebacker in nickel. Outside, he can serve as a rotational player behind Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. Inside, he could join Todd Davis, Josey Jewell or an extra safety in covering the intermediate-to-deep middle part of the field. So how did this come about? The Broncos credit outside linebackers coach Brandon Staley. “(Staley) came to us with the idea,” defensive coordinator Ed Donatell said. “He thought he (Hollins) could get it done. He’s done a great job getting him ready. … Certainly, he can do both. But he might only do parts of each — maybe one full time and part of the other.” That’s why the Broncos view the experiment of moving Hollins around as reasonable. As Donatell said, they aren’t force-feeding Hollins the entire playbook at multiple positions and he is being taught the roles by the same person (Staley).

  • 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.

  • 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.
