Just a guess, but I'm thinking those scans might be from the 1978 edition of the NFL's Prolog magazine.

On November 25 the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced that former player and general manager Joe Zuger had passed away. He was 84. On October 15, 1962 Zuger made his professional debut at quarterback by throwing for a CFL record 8 TD passes in a 67-21 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Voted MV...

I don't recall ever seeing another NFL game that featured two different sets of goalposts:

Greg Landry, former quarterback with the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Colts and Chicago Bears in addition to the USFL, died on October 4th, at the age of 77: It seems like Greg Landry played forever. I last remember seeing him perform in the 1984 USFL Championship Game for George Allen's Arizona Wrangl...

1) The two active winningest coaches in the NCAA in 1980 faced off against each other in a rather boring game. Name the two coaches involved. #1) I'm guessing that was the 11/15/80 Notre Dame at Alabama game that pitted Dan Devine vs. Bear Bryant. The Irish won 7-0 and accepted a Sugar Bowl invitat...

Not much was expected from the Montreal Alouettes in 1970. The Als had posted a combined record of 7-31-4 over the previous three seasons. Following a third place finish, the Alouettes entered the 1970 Eastern Conference Playoffs with a record of 7-6-1. They had recorded just one win in their final ...

Speaking of Bob Timberlake and his horrible, terrible 1965 season....it appears he missed his last 14 FG tries, with at least 3 of them blocked. Sheesh. That's fascinating. All seven of the Giants losses in 1965 were by 10 points or more so it doesn't appear that Timberlake's futility cost New York...
