Pro Football Weekly/Monthly Magazine

Guessing there will be no more weekly or monthly print periodicals dedicated to pro and/or college football. I miss Pro Football Weekly and remember fondly the old Football News.

Book Topic Idea

One Page Historical Schedules

Surprisingly, I am finding it nearly impossible to locate historical schedules that are in a week by week format and on just a page or two. All the old preview magazines would have them. I do not like having to print multiple pages with just a week or two on the left part of the page when I know the...

Re: 10-Second Runoff

Re: 10-Second Runoff

Have to have the ten second runoff. Team would have had to scramble to line in order to get snap off. They had zero timeouts remaining. By the time Tate would have gotten up and started back to an alignment the clock would have already been at less than 5 seconds. Basically, Detroit was a timeout sh...

Re: 2017 NFL Season Discussion

Not getting scientific but here are a few of my thoughts: *I believe Falcons are built to maintain quality play better than much of their history. Not saying Super Bowl, but should contend barring Ryan suffering an injury *Hard to bet against Patriots, isnt't it? *Not counting on Giants to go deep *...

Re: 2017 Record and Fact Book?

One of the digital universe's gifts that are not cool.....the never ending depletion of actual print materials.

1979 Weekly TV Show

What was the weekly highlight show for the 1979 season? I am wanting to try and track down the episodes for a Paydirt boardgame replay I am hoping to start.

Re: Old School Fantasy Sports

Pretty cool concept. I actually was going to develop my own version of this during the upcoming summer, but it appears that I will have no need.. Will check out the website as I am interested.
