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.

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. -
The Long Snapper Unabridged
Reading Guide The Long Snapper Unabridged By Jeffrey Marx ISBN: 9780061845529 Questions for Discussion Chapter One 1. The author writes about Brian Kinchen's difficult transition from his 13-year NFL career into a new line of work. Have you ever gone through a similar transition in your career or other areas of your life? What emotions did you experience during that time? 2. As Brian contemplated whether or not to accept the tryout offer, he mentally processed a string of rejections that dotted his NFL career. Why do you think that caused him to second guess his decision? What are some rejections you've dealt with in your life? Have those rejections caused you to push forward and pull back? 3. Brian lived a dream by playing 13 years in the NFL yet often looked at his career as a failure. Why do you think it's sometimes easy to allow disappointments to overshadow blessings? 4. Brian's wife Lori encouraged him to take a leap of faith. What does that phrase "leap of faith" mean to you? Can you think of a time when you've been faced with a decision that would require a leap of faith? What factors impacted your decision? 5. Read Proverbs 19:20-21. Following this scripture's advice, Brian reached out to several people he trusted before making a decision. Who are some of the people you rely upon for wise counsel? Can you tell the difference between situations where you had help from others versus times you tried to go it alone? Extra Point: Brian desperately wanted to submit to God's plan but asked himself, "What is it?" Read Proverbs 3:5-6. -
