  • 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.

  • Samuel Sheppard Murder Trial Press Coverage - Introduction
    Samuel Sheppard Murder Trial Press Coverage - Introduction (This case was prepared by University of Georgia journalism student Umarah Alit for JOUR 5170, Advanced Studies in Journalism, based on secondary sources cited below.) Media coverage of the Samuel Sheppard trial in 1954, as well as the consequent Supreme Court ruling, is essential in understanding fair journalistic practices while covering events flooded with bias and public opinion. The case is especially relevant for journalists who cover court cases, particularly those with high profile figures, and contains fundamental issues of journalistic credibility and courage despite having occurred over 50 years ago. While independence and minimizing harm are important factors in any aspect of journalism, they are especially pertinent in legal situations where the media is at risk for becoming involved in the story itself. Samuel Sheppard Murder Trial Press Coverage - Part A Samuel Holmes Sheppard, an American osteopathic physician, found his pregnant wife, Marilynn Reese Sheppard, murdered in their Bay Village, Ohio home on the morning of July 4, 1954. Sheppard claimed he awoke to his wife screaming upstairs, and when he entered the room, saw a "bushy-haired intruder" strangling her. He struggled with the man until Sheppard lost consciousness, and when he awoke he saw his wife had been killed. Sheppard was questioned by police and investigators shortly after the incident, but maintained his innocence. The public, however, believed that Sheppard was getting away with murder because of his status and wealth. The Cleveland Press and other Cleveland newspapers published numerous front page and editorialized articles with unusually large headlines and enormous photos for editorials on the situation.

  • Podunk Versus Gotham: the 1946 Browns-Yankees Rivalry
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 2 (1994) PODUNK VERSUS GOTHAM: THE 1946 BROWNS-YANKEES RIVALRY by Jack Ziegler In 1946 America had a new football league - the All-America Conference. In the Eastern division the New York Yankees dominated. In the West the Cleveland Browns emerged as the team to beat, though not without some stiff competition from the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Dons. A lively rivalry quickly developed between the two divisional champions due in large part to the personalities of their coaches, New York's Ray Flaherty and Cleveland's Paul Brown. The Yankees with their uniforms of silver and blue and offices on Park Avenue were the blue chip franchise of the new league and Ray Flaherty was their blue chip coach. Flaherty's roots reached deep into pro football. He had played end with Red Grange's New York Yankees in 1927-28. In 1929 Flaherty moved to Steve Owen's New York Giants, becoming a playing coach in 1933 at age 29. In 1936 Flaherty became head coach of the Boston Redskins. In 1937, Flaherty coached the Redskins (now in Washington) to a league championship, a feat he duplicated in 1942. After Navy service in World War II, Flaherty assumed control of the Yankees. The AAC's most high-profile coach felt very good about his personnel: "I have the best material I've ever had, and that goes for the fine Washington teams." The major power in the West would turn out to be the Cleveland Browns. or as Flaherty snidely referred to them, "a team from Podunk with a high school coach." At 38, only four years younger than Flaherty, Paul Brown seemed the antithesis of his opposite number.

PRESSING CHARGES: The Impact of the Sam Sheppard Trials on Courtroom Coverage and Criminal Law Abstract Tali Yahalom, College '09, History Roman Holidays: The Role of Publicity in Criminal Trials The media sensationalized the 1954 trial of Sam Sheppard (accused of murdering his wife), his acquittal, and post-prison years. The intense coverage set journalistic and legal precedents, motivating various judges to address, in legal terms, the media’s role during pretrial investigations and courtroom proceedings. This thesis uses newspapers, magazines and court opinions to explore the extent of the media blitz, and addresses the question of whether the press compromised justice. This thesis also examines the case's continuing relevance: Why was this particular case so popular? Why did the public react with a collective desire to convict Sheppard? As an indelible presence in American public memory, how did the case change the legality and culture of trial coverage in the US? The recurring presence of the trial in publicity-related cases today highlights the irreconcilable tension between a public's right to a free press and a defendant's right to a fair and speedy trial.

  • 1950 - a Landmark Year
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 1 (1992) 1950 - A Landmark Year by Stan Grosshandler The 1950 season was truly a landmark year and could even be considered the true beginning of the modern era of the National Football League as it encompassed many factors that had tremendous influence on the league. The decade that followed has been termed "The Golden Age of Pro Football." 1950 got it off and winging. On January 20, the Rules Committee allowed unlimited substitution which was destined to totally change the character of the game. The dissolution of the All- American Football Conference brought three new franchises into the league: Cleveland, San Francisco, and Baltimore. The first two were destined to be among the most successful sports franchises in history. With the Browns came Coach Paul Brown, perhaps the most innovative coach the game has ever seen. His philosophy, theory, and teaching techniques influence football coaching at all levels to this very day. Now all the best players would be concentrated in the NFL. These included a number of players from defunct AAFC teams and a whole cadre of well-trained recent college grads whose careers that had been disrupted by war. Ex-GI's who'd entered college in 1946 were now eligible for pro football. And of course, there was the usual fine crop of ex- collegians whose careers had passed uninterrupted from high school to college and now to pro ball. Undoubtedly, more talent was present in the league in 1950 than ever before. Television for the first time began to wind its tentacles around the game, as the Rams contracted to show all games on television including home contests.
