  • How Andre Gurode Became Cowboys' Most Tenured Veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo
    How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran | Todd Archer Columns | Spo... Page 1 of 2 How Andre Gurode became Cowboys' most tenured veteran 10:49 AM CDT on Friday, May 21, 2010 IRVING – At times, Andre Gurode admits he will look around the Valley Ranch locker room and wonder where the time has gone. He can point across the room to where Emmitt Smith held court. He can look to his right and know that Terence Newman now occupies Darren Woodson’s old locker with a message about the Super Bowl tradition on its back wall. He can look straight ahead and see where Flozell Adams sat for years. Now Gurode is the old man in the room. Not in terms of age or years of NFL service – those go to backup quarterback Jon Kitna (37 and 14 respectively) – but in tenure with the Cowboys. Gurode is entering his eighth season with the Cowboys. “I wouldn’t say it felt like yesterday,” said Gurode, a second round pick in 2002 after Roy Williams and before Antonio Bryant, “but it felt like I just came here a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine going through the stuff I’ve been through and the years and just all of the things it took to get to this point. It’s like, ‘Wow, it’s really been a journey.’” Gurode was Adams’ teammate for eight years, who was once Michael Irvin’s teammate, who played with Everson Walls, who was a Cowboy with Harvey Martin, who played defensive line with Bob Lilly, the Cowboys’ first draft pick in 1961, who came a year after Eddie LeBaron was the quarterback for an 0-11-1 team in the franchise’s first year.

  • 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.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL? What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be. You give up possession, give your opponent 2 points, and then you have to punt the ball from your own 20, giving your opponent good, if not excellent, field position.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.
