Other than game books, is there anywhere that has the time for each scoring play prior to the late 1990s?

Newspapers.

L.A. Raiders and L.A. Rams.
And N.Y. Giants and N.Y. Jets.

Back then they would just show the score for a game - including the one they were broadcasting - now and then during a game.

The "scorebug" would take up the bottom third or so of the screen.

Is this an April Fool's Joke?

Well, my memory isn''t what it used to be. I looked on the Internet Wayback Machine and found the old website for The Football Project and it says was founded in 1998 by Sean Lahman and Todd Grenier.
