"Well-Traveled: NFL Players That Have Played in the Most Pro Football Leagues" by Greg Tranter. A research report and listing of a group of 20 players that have played in five professional leagues or more with notable names including Ben Agajanian, Coy Bacon, Michael Bishop and Fred Jackson that played in leagues such as the AFL, the AAFC, the CFL, the USFL and the WFL. Short biographies of each player are included.
"Coffin Corner Extra Point: An Interesting Conflict" by Tracy Thibeau. The problem of game scheduling that faced the NFL arising from the fact that there were two teams in Chicago (the Bears and the Cardinals) before the Cardinals moved to St. Louis in 1960.

"Philadelphia’s 'Public Enemy Number One': Joe Kuharich" by Mark A. Sullivan. A remembrance of a young Eagles fan attending a December 1968 game at Franklin Field where a despised coach wins a game against the Saints and loses out on the chance to draft Hall of Famer O. J. Simpson, all while a plane circles overhead with a banner reading "Joe Must Go." A brief biography of Kuharich is included along with the highs and lows of the Philadelphia franchise.

Greg Tranter and John Maxymuk ... pillars of parched wit.
