Had I received this as a gift as a 15 year old I would have been in heaven.

It is very cool, particularly for the fan or enthusiast who doesn't have the inclination or the resources to research the teams themselves. But...how comprehensive can a Denver Broncos history (for example) be viewed through the Washington Post? Also, guessing most of the stories are Monday game sum...

punts - too conservative - require teams to go for it on 4th down It's not unheard of, actually. Apologize ahead of time if this topic has already been dealt with but there's a high school coach who never punts, and his results and rationale have some merit. Regardless of where one stands on the ma...

I was going to respond with Jim Mora's 1987-1992 New Orleans Saints, then realized Ricky Jackson is in (as is GM Jim Finks).

Thanks for the clarification. I remember being stunned at Kelly's USFL total at the time, and how little fanfare it received.

Also, if you don't have any luck tracking down the article but you know the date for sure you can download a few articles for around $10 (if memory serves). Almost any date available going way back.

I have several articles from the mid to late 1940s saved.

If you're looking for Browns articles the CPD has a place online where you can read all the Browns game summaries from that era, although they are not actual saved images from the paper itself.

Does anyone know if historical archives (years 1940-1980) of the Detroit Free Press and Philadelphia Evening News are available anywhere other than Detroit and Philadelphia area libraries or the Library of Congress?

Looking for an online source but don't think they exist.
