Passing along a request from a fellow researcher: does anyone know who all the investors were for this team? My colleague is trying to determine if someone named Max Rosenblum was one of the owners along with Sam Deutsch. That’s a long ways back, obviously and there weren’t a lot of great resources ...

Johnny Unitas "broke" #6 by winning a Super Bowl with three completions.

Unitas played all of 19 snaps in Super Bowl V.

For the record, I do not create media or artistic works myself, but if I did, I would be stricter with the copyrights on the pieces of media that are perceived to have more commercial viability than those that don’t. Ex: if I were the NFL, I would be more likely to go after people who are uploading...

It is possible to hold both of these thoughts in your mind at the same time: that copyright laws exist to protect people who create things, and that seeing restored (in fact, better) versions of classic games was wonderful and a great way to bring history to those who have no idea about it.

One tidbit that wasn't in the book: Joe Horrigan asked Daly where they found the evidence that the streak was bogus. When Daly told him "Your library," Horrigan was shocked. Horrigan also wrote in his 100th anniversary book that the Jets outbid the Chicago Cardinals for Joe Namath, and th...

Some Packers fans I have chatted with, believe the 2020/21 NFC Championship game was "rigged". Because believing that Aaron Rodgers avoided running to the goal line like there was a family member standing there and that the Packers just lost would be too hard, yeah? Best team money could ...

Luckily, I had previously downloaded most of the guides there. Because you never know.

It's easy to say the 0-14 season of 1976, but, honestly, they were going to be terrible (and were unlucky not to win three games). The 1977 team was actually harder to watch, despite the two wins. Gotta go with 1985. They'd been in the playoffs three times in four years from 1979-82, regressed might...

A Sept. 26, 1974 Flint Journal article notes the then-34-year-old Kauffman was "born and reared in Lancaster, Pa., a hotbed of high school and collegiate grid talent. Kauffman excelled as a prep player at McCaskey High School." He joined the Marines out of high school, went to Michigan Sta...
