  • 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.

  • The Pioneers
    Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments is the most extensive and comprehensive exhibit featuring America’smost popular sport ever to tour. Many of the objects included in the exhibition have never been outside the walls of their home, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The artifacts are representative of the great moments, great players and coaches and milestone moments of the sport over the last 100-plus years. Below is a partial list of the rare and historically significant artifacts that will be presented in Gridiron Glory: Footballs Greatest Legends and Moments. The Pioneers This section looks at the early days of the sport when a very unorganized, rough and tumble game was played in empty lots and other makeshift venues. It captures the moment when the NFL was born, when the rules of the game were created anew on every field and when one player of staggering ability, Red Grange, “barnstormed” across America to drum up fan support for a sport in its infancy. Artifacts featured include: 1892 Allegany Athletic Association accounting ledger – Pro Football’sBirth Certificate This accounting ledger sheet from the 1892 Allegheny Athletic Association documents football’s first case of professionalism. “Pro Football’sBirth Certificate” has never before been displayed outside the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jim Thorpe’sCanton bulldogs Sideline Blanket In 1915 the Canton Bulldogs signed Jim Thorpe to a $250 per game contract. Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, was an exceptional talent and major gate attraction. His outstanding talent enabled Canton to lay claim to unofficial world championships in 1916, 1917 and 1919.

  • Bronx, Blacks, and the NFL
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 1 (1993) Bronx, Blacks, and the NFL by Victor Mastro and John Hogrogian The Bronx is one of the five boroughs which make up New York City. It is the only borough which is located on the mainland United States, as the other four are on islands in New York Harbor. The Bronx is home for Yankee Stadium and Fordham University. It formerly was home for the uptown campus of New York University, now gone. In the 1920's and 1930's, Fordham and NYU were football powers that sent several players into the pros. Staunchly middle-class in character, the Bronx now is also cursed with a plague of urban blight in its southern neighborhoods. Throughout its history, the Bronx has been ethnically and racially mixed, an incubator for upward mobility for people from everywhere. For the past sixty years, the Bronx has been the setting for many developments in the racial integration of the National Football League, Its fields, schools, and people have all played a role in the progress of the NFL away from its segregated past and into the diverse world of the 1990's. I The New York Brown Bombers Black players were a small but significant presence in the NFL during the 1920's. Players like Fritz Pollard, Duke Slater, and Inky Williams were stars in the league's first decade. By 1933, however, the number of black players in the NFL dwindled to two, halfback Joe Lillard of the Chicago Cardinals and tackle Ray Kemp of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • The Game of Love the Game of Love
    SOUTHWEST AIRLINES SOUTHWEST A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM ® The Game of Love For a sport so full of hard knocks, football has its surprisingly tender side. From Joe Namath in pantyhose to the passion of the fans, it’s all about heart—and not just about football. FEBRUARY 2011 FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2011 “HUDDLE UP!” It sounds so close to “cuddle up”—but suggest that similarity to a 350-pound tackle and you might end up on the hurtin’ end of a sack. Still, the seemingly remote worlds of love and football overlap in many ways—and not just in February, a month that brings us the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day. There’s fan love, of course. And the love of the game. There’s the love the players feel for each other. The love a couch potato has for his Bud Lite. And the love his wife shows every time she pretends to be interested in the “wildcat” formation. There are women in love with the game, too—so much so that they passionately play it and report on it. Yes, love and football have been huddling for decades. Who knew that when John Madden was hollering about the red zone, he meant the heart?
