  • The Ice Bowl: the Cold Truth About Football's Most Unforgettable Game
    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.

  • 1963 San Diego Chargers
    The Professional Football Researchers Association The AFL’s First Super Team Pro Football Insiders Debate Whether the AFL Champion San Diego Chargers Could Have Beaten the Bears in a 1963 Super Bowl By Ed Gruver It's an impossible question, but one that continues to intrigue until January 12, 1969, when Joe Namath quarterbacked the members of the 1963 AFL champion San Diego Chargers. upstart New York Jets to a stunning 16-7 victory over the heavily- favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, that the AFL earned its If the Super Bowl had started with the 1963 season instead of first championship game win over the NFL.

  • College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17
    College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17 This moment in pro football history has always captured my imagination. It was the last time the college underdogs ever defeated the pro champs in the long and storied history of the College All-Star Football Classic, previously known as the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, a series which came to an abrupt end in 1976. As a kid, I remember eagerly awaiting this game, as it signaled the beginning of another pro football season—which somewhat offset the bittersweet knowledge that another summer vacation was quickly coming to an end. Alas, as the era of “big money” pro sports set in, the college all star game quietly became a quaint relic of a more innocent sporting past. Little by little, both the college stars and the teams which had shelled out guaranteed contracts to them began to have second thoughts about participation in an exhibition game in which an injury could slow or even terminate a player’s career development. The 1976 game was played in a torrential downpour, halted in the third quarter with Pittsburgh leading 24-0, and the game—and, indeed, the series—was never resumed. But on that sultry August evening in 1963, with a crowd of 65,000 packing the stands, the idea of athletes putting financial considerations ahead of “the game” wasn’t on anyone’s minds. Those who were in the stands or watching on televiosn were treated to one of the more memorable upsets in football history, as the “college Joes” knocked off the “football pros,” 20-17.

    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.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) the BRONX
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) THE BRONX by Victor Mastro Lombardi's Packers, Pittsburgh's Super Steelers, Chicago's Monsters of the Midway, Cleveland's Big bad Browns, the glittering Dallas Cowboys and the ancient Canton Bulldogs, all claimed winners' thrones in the NFL. Soldiers Field, Wrigley Field, League Park, and Municipal Stadium burned with the fever of football, while gridiron ghosts of yesteryear ran, passed, blocked and tackled. Out of all this gladiatorial grandeur, one borough in a great city stands atop these mountains of football folklore -- the Bronx. Just across the East River from the Bronx, the Polo Grounds was the scene of many great football games during the 1920s-30s. Meanwhile, the Bronx was still a rookie in football experience. But Red Grange, the fabled Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, and Fordham's Seven Blocks of Granite left their imprints on football, playing games at Yankee Stadium. Furthermore, some of the early greats of the NFL came from or played high school or college ball in the Bronx. These included Sid Luckman, Ken Strong and Ed Danowski. Steve Owen, the legendary Giant coach, worked as a foreman in the Bronx coal yard. In 1934, the "Sneaker Game," perhaps the greatest comeback in championship play, resulted from shoes borrowed from Manhattan College in the Bronx. After that classic, no NFL team dared take the field in cold weather without having "sneaker" type footgear available. In the mid-1930s, Fordham in the heart of the Bronx boasted what might have been the greatest offensive and defensive line in college history -- the "Seven Blocks of Granite." Tackle Ed Franco was a consensus All-American.
