Kudos to everyone who has a hand in this project. Your work is invaluable.

The play in question is at 1:15 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Jcu12HSNkM Baur was number 58, and that appears to be #58 who does NOT make the call, while the official who comes quickly up the sideline to first signal incomplete and then complete is not easy to identify (he's in the yellow c...

My sense is that it was because the Bucs were, pretty much from top to bottom, dysfunctional and a mess. He didn't have a number one pick in 1992 because they traded it to the Colts for Chris Chandler before Wyche got there (though, to be fair, the 1992 draft was not one for the ages). Someone thoug...

It'll be fun. While it lasts. First, there's Brian Woods, who couldn't organize a trip to the men's room. But they do have Fox/NBC money behind them, and they've managed to cut out a big part of the equation that usually leaves these types of leagues figuratively on the streets wearing barrels with ...

The Networks were more focused on creating a narrative of a lone nutjob assassin killing the president than football games.

Yeaaaaaah, but ( a ) I didn't say "make the playoffs," and ( b ) the games to determine who "won their division (/conference)" were referred to as "playoffs," so that's the correct nomenclature. I asked how they determined who hosted those playoffs , which were one game...

Just an update on the gamebooks search: I have received from the Packers every gamebook they have from the 1960's. They were only missing 5 gamebooks from 1960 and 1 gamebook from 1966, so overall not bad, as those are now the only gamebooks we're missing from 1960 to present. Very cool, I need GB'...
