The hits keep coming, thanks John. There's alot there to chew on, particularly the Miami TD Club POY awards; 1969 Calvin Hill - NFL Rookie of the Year plus POY over Roman Gabriel 1972 Larry Csonka - His only regular season POY award (that I know of) ... Probably the only accolade that Larry Brown di...

Thanks for that. I've never seen a list of Miami TD winners (Namath in '68 where he made his famous guarantee). I'll have to re-check your Modern Years All- Pro book. Blanda's 1970 trophy was auctioned off a few years ago.

These minor awards are interesting. I first took notice when going through old media guides. They would mention the postseason honors of a player and if a guy didn't get many - maybe one from a small club I'd want the whole list and go down that rabbit hole on microfilm. With the Long Island club t...

You solved it. I have all the known winners---not sure what happened in 1973 or 1972 NFC Not sure if they didn't do it, or cannot find...well, thanks for all that work. I was suspecting PFWA-NY, but LIAC . . . wouldn't have thought that. It's nice to finally get that puzzle solved, thanks for furni...

Inch by inch seems we're getting closer...but PFWA is my suspect because they named their Awards---Daley, Horrigan, etc . . .and it was a big to-do and seems like they would have spent the $$ to impress the winners. But that's just speculation. Would you believe the Long Island Athletic Club? Ken S...

They, like the PFWA-NY, have a couple of awards--the Starr and Lombardi, plus the Packers awards, best offensive player on packers, defense, rookie--like that

Thanks John for confirming that.

I remember there was mention in the Milwaukee Journal about Gary Cuozzo winning 1970 NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors at the 1971 dinner. I have no idea what Gary Cuozzo could have been coming back from or to. Dental School? Several years ago I posted a link to that event via Google News Arch...

Really nice work John. Here is a photo of George Halas and Vince Lombardi at the first awards dinner on 2/19/68: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/george-halas-and-vince-lombardi-of-the-green-bay-packers-news-photo/515100202 Did the N.Y. Chapter award player trophies to the MVP's? That a...

I've contacted someone associated with the Maxwell Club-maybe they can get some info---we'll see, I doubt the Club even knows about it. I was content to let this informative thread fade into obscurity but here we go again. I was looking at 1966 Bart Starr photos (Getty Images) and noticed two photo...

With some luck the 1966 Vikings could have finished 8 and 6: Week 1 @ San Francisco - Tie 20-20 Week 4 @ Chicago - Lost 13-10 Week 7 @ Baltimore - Lost 20-17 Week 10 vs Detroit - Lost 32-31 Minnesota's 20 to 13 loss to the expansion Atlanta Falcons was probably the low point of the season.
