One obscure NFL Films production that I've long been curious about is a 1967 documentary entitled, "Portrait of a Coach." It's the story of Joe Kuharich who was head coach of three NFL teams. Kuharich became the first coach to wear a wireless microphone for NFL Films in January 1967 during...

Super Bowl II was aired exclusively by CBS and was long believed to have been erased, but it was later found that the entire telecast fully exists and rests in the vaults of NFL Films. Though NBC's telecast of Super Bowl III exists entirely in color, only half of the CBS broadcast Super Bowl IV bro...

Toronto won a game last season on a last-play missed field goal that missed, but because of the short end zones at BMO Field, could not possibly have been returned. They're closing that loophole. Toronto also lost a game last October when Edmonton beat them on a walk off rouge in overtime via the p...

CFL players and coaches were not consulted about the rule changes. B.C. Lions QB Nathan Rourke calls the new rules "garbage." “The worst part about it, honestly, is the fact that the people who play football, who have the football knowledge, were not consulted about this. Players weren’t c...

1986 Broncos 38 Raiders 36 (at Denver). There was alot anticipation for this Week 1 match-up of AFC West heavyweights. The previous four games between these two clubs had each been decided by three points: 1984 Broncos 16 Raiders 13 (at Denver) 1984 Broncos 22 Raiders 19 OT (at Los Angeles) 1985 Rai...

Retro---I wonder if it might be found in here, maybe in one of the player bios (lots of factoids) or perhaps a separate page about the game. Unfortunately I don't have a copy. I pulled this off eBay---seller wants 20 bucks. I was thinking along the same lines. Oszuscik recently posted a link to NFL...

Bump... Does anyone know the name of the player selected MVP of the 1962 Playoff Bowl (Lions vs. Eagles)? I am trying to come up with a complete list but can't seem to find information on the January '62 winner. Neither AP or UPI wire service accounts that I have come across mention the selection of...

The 1980 Broncos lost running back Otis Armstrong to a career ending neck injury vs. the Oilers in Week 9. Armstrong saw only part time action during the first three weeks of the season but was inserted into the starting lineup in Week 4 at New England. He responded with an 80 yard rushing performan...

Glad to see the AAFC finally getting it's due, though I was initially skeptical considering it's April 1st.
