Re: which ball used in NFL/AFL preseason games
Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but someone on the Facebook AFL group posted (at my request) the pages from the Super Bowl III program with the article by Don Smith of the Pro Football HOF and it confirms what I remembered from over 50 years ago: the AFL (J5-V) and NFL (F1100) balls had exactly ...

Re: 3 tidbits from Sam Blair's "Dallas Cowboys - Pro or Con"
1) Tom Landry predicted that zone defenses would dominate the 1970's. The Cowboys had mostly played man defense during the 60s, as Landry's original 4-3 defensive scheme with the Giants had secondary players who could cover man-to-man. Landry noted that with the addition of the AFL and general expa...

I can't find their gamebooks or media guides, which used to...

Re: Books about team relocations, Tex Schramm and Pete Rozel
The 1988 Bob St. John bio of Tex Schramm is a hardback. The 2006 bio is a paperback of the same book although I cannot say if it includes updated material. I don't recall the cover saying it was a second, updated, or revised edition. Instead it carries a different title, just to make things more con...

Re: 2021 Obituaries
According to Wikipedia, Moegle legally changed his name to Maegle in 1962 because people mispronounced his birth name. The article doesn't say this, but I thought I read someplace that he changed it back later as an adult, but I can't confirm that. The Dallas Cowboys Encyclopedia (Donovan, 1996) lis...

Re: Players who switched uniform numbers for new players on
In 1995, Cowboy DB Alundis Brice (DB: 1995-96) switched from #21 to #29 so Deion could wear it.
