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...

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.

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:

Update: The August 17, 1969 Jets vs. Giants exhibition game was another.
