The latest issue of "The Coffin Corner" is now available for immediate download from the PFRA website. This issue includes:

“PFRA-ternizing.” The PFRA Convention has been postponed to June 24-27, 2021. Details on hotel reservations are included.

“The Saints of Old Tulane” by Joe Zagorski. A season-by-season look at the years that the Saints played in Tulane Stadium (1967-1974).

“When the Eagles Took Flight” by Jimmy Grant. A look at the Philadelphia Eagles’ 1980 championship run and what led up to that season.

“2019 Player Deaths.” A listing of the players who passed away in 2019.

“A Critique of the Official 1960s All-Decade Team” by Andy Piascik. The author takes a look at the official all-decade team of the 1960s and proposes an alternative version.

Looking forward to reading the 1980 Eagles article.

Looking forward to Andy's, but was hoping he would go back, not forward

I enjoyed the Saints article, I knew they played at Tulane but didn't know much about the stadium itself. That was cool.

But the photo of Dick Vermeil being carried on his players' shoulders couldn't have been from the NFC Championship Game in January 1981, because, famously (and as noted in the story), the Eagles wore white jerseys in that game, forcing the Cowboys to wear their "unlucky" blue.
