Latest Coffin Corner

Post by Ken Crippen »

The latest issue of “The Coffin Corner” is now available for download from the Members Only section of the PFRA website. The issue includes:

“PFRA-ternizing.” An update from George Bozeka on the 2020 PFRA Convention at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio from June 18–21 next year that will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the NFL, including information on the special hotel discount and a list of events and speakers. Also, PFRA election results.

“The Unlikely Rivalry: Ken O'Brien vs. Dan Marino” by Jon Taub. A look at the two of the quarterbacks from the fames draft class of 1983: Ken O'Brien and Dan Marino. How did their careers turn out and how did they fair against similar competition?

“Immaculate Saturday: One Glorious Day, Two Magnificent Games” by Brad Schultz. Everyone remembers the Immaculate Reception. Do you remember the Dallas-San Francisco game from the same day? The one where Dallas rallied for 17 points to beat the 49ers to advance to the NFC Championship Game? This article is an analysis of why one was revered and one is all but forgotten.

“Cleveland's Dawg Pound” by Roger Gordon. A look at the history of Cleveland's Dawg pound and how it got its name.

“The First Pro Pass, Revisited” by Ken Crippen. In 1979, Bob Carroll wrote an article on the first documented forward pass. A group of researchers have found two additional passes that occurred prior to Bob's documented pass.

Thanks Ken. When I saw this, I realized I hadn't renewed, so I just did. For anyone in my boat, will I get a paper copy of this one or is it too late?

I'm glad I'm not the only one for whom the year's first issue is a reminder to renew my membership :D
