  • 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.

  • FOXCATCHER Written by E. Max Frye & Dan Futterman INT. UNIVERSITY of WISCONSIN
    FOXCATCHER Written by E. Max Frye & Dan Futterman INT. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN GYM - VERY EARLY MORNING MARK SCHULTZ (27, 180 lbs., cauliflower ears) lifts a human- sized, leather WRESTLING DUMMY from the mat to stand in front of him. He performs a series of repetitive moves - hooking one arm under the dummy's arm, then the other; one side, then other. Again and again. It looks almost as if he's dancing gently with it. Then, very fast, Mark spins quickly around behind the dummy, grabs it in a bear hug, arches his back, lifts and SLAMS it to the mat, landing on top. QUICK CUTS: Mark spinning, lifting and slamming the dummy - first one way, then the other - first one hold, then another - SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM - over and over and over again. CUT TO: I/E. BARABOO SCHOOL/PARKING LOT - LATE MORNING Mark pulls his beat-up car into a space in the parking lot of this nondescript, 1960s-era suburban brick-facade school. He's freshly showered, wears a short-sleeve dress shirt, clip- on tie, slacks. He reaches behind the front seat and pulls out a battered BROWN VINYL BRIEFCASE. CUT TO: INT. BARABOO SCHOOL/PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE WAITING ROOM - DAY Mark waits alone in a chair he's much too big for, his brown vinyl briefcase on his lap. A portrait of President Reagan hangs on the painted cinder block wall. A clock ticks. CUT TO: INT. BARABOO SCHOOL/AUDITORIUM - DAY Mark's on stage. An audience of 4th, 5th and 6th graders. MARK Why do I do it? Why do I push myself to my limits - of pain, of exhaustion - every day of my life? Why do I wake up every morning and make the commitment? Why do I do it? 2.

Roberts* INTRODUCTION When I read last year’s deeply disturbing Rolling Stone article about dangerous fraternity hazing rituals at Dartmouth College,1 I—like most readers—was horrified. But unlike some readers, I was also mortified. Several months later, when I learned that U.S. News and World Reports had ranked Dartmouth first on its list of schools most committed to teaching2 and tenth among national universities overall,3 I felt proud. My reactions to both events were not just manifestations of affection for my alma mater. Rather, they stemmed from my awareness that public perceptions of Dartmouth shape perceptions of its alumni. Like all trademarks, university names serve as receptacles for goodwill.

Throughout his career, Zauner has been noted for discovering and recruiting undrafted rookie free agents and turning them into successful NFL players. Robert Griffith (Minnesota) and Obefemi Ayanbadejo (Minnesota), who are both on the Cardinals roster, got their start under Zauner as did Brian Russell (Minnesota), Will Demps (Baltimore), B.J. Sams (Baltimore) and Matt Katula (Baltimore). 2002 – 2005 SEASON: BALTIMORE RAVENS: From 2005 Baltimore Ravens Media Guide: Gary Zauner entered his 4th season as Special Teams Coordinator following dramatic efforts of the ever- changing special teams unit. Rookie free agent B.J. Sams posted two punt returns for TDs (tied for NFL and Ravens record) and set a new single-season franchise record with 1,826 combined return yards. From 2004 Baltimore Ravens Media Guide: Gary Zauner guided the 2003 Ravens kickoff coverage team to 3rd overall in NFL (2nd in AFC) with an average start of 26.4-yard line.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NFL Contact: NFL-13 3/22/06 Pete Abitante, (212) 450-2065 [email protected] USO Contact: Erica Stone, (703) 908-6471 [email protected] NFL & USO MARK 40TH ANNIVERSARY; SEAHAWKS’ FISHER, FALCONS’ KERNEY & STEELERS’ STARKS TO VISIT TROOPS IN BALKANS & PERSIAN GULF REGIONS The National Football League and the USO (United Service Organizations) will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their partnership this spring with a tour that will soon head to the Balkans and the Persian Gulf Region to provide a morale boost to troops stationed far from home. Defensive ends BRYCE FISHER of the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks and PATRICK KERNEY of the Atlanta Falcons, and tackle MAX STARKS of the Super Bowl XL champion Pittsburgh Steelers will meet and greet service members at various locations in the region. Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) is providing logistical support for the trip. In 1966, the NFL became the first sports organization to send players to Vietnam and other parts of the Far East on “goodwill tours” to visit U.S. troops. The first group of players to embark on a USO tour overseas included four future Hall of Famers: WILLIE DAVIS, FRANK GIFFORD, SAM HUFF and JOHNNY UNITAS. In 2004, the NFL donated $250,000 to the USO for the construction of the Pat Tillman USO Center in Afghanistan, located at Bagram Air Base near Kabul. LARRY IZZO of the New England Patriots and WARRICK DUNN of the Falcons attended the opening of the center last April in Afghanistan. A former Arizona Cardinals safety, Tillman was killed during Army Ranger combat operations in Afghanistan in 2004.
