Pro Football Hall of Fame 2011-2012 Educational Outreach Program PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME 2011-2012 EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM T EACHER A CTIVITY G UIDE Proud Partner of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Educational Outreach Program Dear Educator: A primary goal of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's mission is to educate the public regarding the origin, development, and growth of professional football as an important part of American culture. As an educational institution, the Pro Football Hall of Fame shares a wealth of information regarding the sport of professional football with people in communities across the country. It is the Pro Football Hall of Fame's firm conviction that the creative integration of the pro football story and the museum experience with classroom studies builds an effective bridge between education and student interests. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is extremely pleased to again offer our Educational Outreach Program for students in grades K through 12. Since its inception in 1984, the program has been well received and over 175,000 youth have participated. We hope that you, as a superintendent, director of curriculum, principal, or teacher, will want to participate after examining this material. We offer a wide variety of educational initiatives including: museum field trips, video conference programming, special student seminars, NFL outreach, teacher enrichment days, and many more exciting, but most importantly, valuable educational tools for educators. The pages that follow serve as a supplemental piece for pre- and post-activities for our educational programs as well as general lessons to assist educators in the everyday planning of classroom lessons. This activity guide includes a wide range of interdisciplinary classroom exercises each aligned with national educational standards in language arts, science, family and consumer sciences, social studies, mathematics, physical education, visual arts, and technology. For up-to-date information regarding our current educational offerings, please visit our educational homepage at http://www.profootballhof.com/education/ or if you would like to participate in any of our outreach programs, please contact Jerry Csaki or Adam Shipley of our Education Outreach staff at 330-456-8207.

  • New England Patriots Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: the More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
    New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same. Author : Robert D. Cobb There is an old French proverb, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" that roughly translated means, the more things change, the more they stay the same. While Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr didn’t exactly have in mind that over 150-plus years later that his famous epigram from his journal Les Guepes, would become so literal, it seems to apply more literally whenever it comes to the New England Patriots vexing mastery over the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1 / 2 Whether it is in the hearty confines of Foxborough or the Confluence of the Three Rivers of the Steel City, the New England Patriots have the Pittsburgh Steelers number. For all of their six Lombardi trophies, 23 members in the Hall of Fame and perhaps the largest fan following in the NFL in Steeler Nation, whenever the mighty six-time Super Bowl champions see the Patriots red, white and blue, they immediately turn to rust. While they have been owned by the Rooney family since 1933, on the field, they have been owned by Tom Brady since 2002. Whether coming in to relive an injured Drew Bledsoe in the ‘01 AFC Championship Game or treating Antony Smith like a junior varsity scrub to the tune of a long pair of touchdown passes via Randy Moss in a 34-13 blowout, Brady is the ultimate arch-nemesis that Pittsburgh cannot seem to solve. Not even their long-time and ancient rivals from the past in the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys or even their fellow division blood rival in the Baltimore Ravens seem to amass the amount of dread, revile and utter disdain and fear and loathing that New England does.

    APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA 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.
