WHITE GLOVE TREATMENT The Pro Football Hall of Fame is home to the world’s largest collection on pro football in the world. Each year, the collection grows as artifacts from milestone moments from the current NFL season arrive in Canton. Here are some of the artifacts that arrived at the Hall this week. The Hall of Fame’s curatorial team put on the white gloves to handle the historic mementos: • The “Salute to Service” hoodie worn by the Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn on Sunday, Nov. 11 recognizing the NFL’s 2018 “Salute to Service” programming. • Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis’ jersey, pants and helmet worn on Sunday, Nov. 11 when he had seven receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown in the Titans 34-10 victory over the New England Patriots. The uniform was collected to commemorate and document the Titans new uniform design and colors for the 2018 NFL Season. Whenever a franchise debuts a new uniform design, the Hall seeks to preserve the change by collecting the jersey, pants and helmet worn by a prominent player of that team. FROM THE RALPH WILSON, JR. PRO FOOTBALL RESEARCH & PRESERVATION CENTER: The Ralph Wilson, Jr. Pro Football Research & Preservation Center is home to the world’s largest collection on football including a personal legacy archive on every player who has competed in the NFL since its founding in 1920. Contained inside the archives are more than 40 million pages of documents and six million photographic images. Staff help a variety of patrons from fans, researchers, authors, and students as well as serving as a resource of information to the National Football League, its 32 clubs and members of the media.

    Praise for Touchdown! “Just as one individual makes a diff erence, so can one book make a diff erence. If you follow what it teaches, you will be in a much higher place and get what you deserve, which is victory.” Butch Davis, former Head Coach of the NCAA Champion University of Miami and current Head Coach of the University of North Carolina “Kevin Elko played a huge part of putt ing Rutgers Football on the map. We use what he has taught us every day in our coaching. We owe him for teaching us ‘Th e Chop.’” Greg Schiano, Head Coach, Rutgers University Football “Dr. Elko taught me ‘You have to dream it to achieve it’ and that before championships and pro bowls happen, they have already occurred in your mind. From the moment I learned it I have not only played that way, I have led that way.” Ed Reed, All Pro Safety, Baltimore Ravens “Over my career at the University of Miami, I learned a lot of lessons from Kevin that helped lift myself and my teammates to a higher level. His creativity with his teachings, and the fact that what he taught us worked, was a major reason I still believe in what he taught me to this day.” Ken Dorsey, Quarterback, Cleveland Browns, and former Quarterback of 2001 University of Miami National Champions “Over the course of my career, the principles that Dr. Elko taught were instrumental in me being a starter in the NFL. Th ese principles are now still what I teach to my athletes in the weight room.” Tom Myslinski, MS, CSCS, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach, the Cleveland Browns Football Club “If I had one choice for someone to work with my fi rm, I would pick Kevin Elko.

    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003

    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.

    [ABCDE] VOLUME 12, ISSUE 8 Sports Ethics ■ Word Study: Is That Ethical? ■ Post Reprint: “Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has grown from boy in peril to NFL elder statesman” ■ Student Activity: Role Models — Ethics in Motion ■ Student Activity: “Do No Harm in Action” ■ Post Reprint: Sally Jenkins's steadfast support of Lance Armstrong ■ Think Like a Reporter: The Ethics of Reporting April 14, 2013 © 2013 THE WASHINGTON POST COMPANY VOLUME 12, ISSUE 8 An Integrated Curriculum For The Washington Post Newspaper In Education Program WORD study Is That Ethical? Some of your classmates boo a player on the opposing team. A player jabs her elbow into an opponent’s ribs. A coach yells obscenities at his team during practice. Are these acceptable actions? Referees, coaches, school administrators and league rules usually confront poor sportsmanship. What should the rest of the student body do? You should exhibit conduct that shows respect for others — your team and opponents. WHAT DOES SPORTSMANSHIP HAVE TO DO WITH ETHICS? Good sportsmanship is right conduct or ethical behavior. The rules of sportsmanship are similar to moral principles that govern a person’s or a group’s behavior. You learn ethical behavior at home and school, through religious teachings and athletic rules. WHAT IS THE ROOT OF “ETHICS”? The Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote many treatises, including about ta ethika, character, in the 300s B.C.E. The Greek word ethos means “custom” or “moral character.” Ethikos is the adjective meaning ethical. In the 13th century, the Old French word étique derived from the Late Latin ethica. These terms’ roots spring from the Greek ethike philosophia, “moral philosophy.” In France, a code of ethics is un code d’ éthique, medical ethics are éthique médicale, and an Ethics Committee is comité éthique.
