Emlen Tunnel
Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia before the opening game in 1975, the announcer asked for a moment of silence for Emlen Tunnell, who died the previous week at 51. Emlen Tunnell was born in Bryn Mahr, Pa, a main line suburb of Philadelphia 15 miles west on the Lancaster Pike. It is a stop on the comm...

Re: Steelers in 1964; the second of 2 Great Victories
He deserves the HOF based on his coaching the Detriot Lions. The Lions, Browns, and Rams were the three big teams when Parker coached Detriot. Take a look and I think he won 2 NFL titles and lost one by a 56 to 10 score to Cleveland.

Re: 1958 Giants v. Browns regular season finale
The Giants with a late season rally had a 8-3 record. They were one game behind the 9-2 Cleveland Browns. A tie would have given Cleveland the title. Earlier in the season the Giants had defeated the Browns 21 to 17. Interesting story, Leonard. You are correct about the tie giving Cleveland the tit...

Philadelphia Eagles Best Thanksgiving in Detriot
Following and even intensifying a trend, the Eagles had a losing steak at the start of 1968- 11 games. A discouraged team came into muddy Tiger Stadium for the Thanksgiving Day national telecast. The Detroit Lions were 4-6-2 and a ten point favorite. Rain starting the day before made for a wet, mudd...

Re: 1958 Giants v. Browns regular season finale
I am from Pittsburgh but I also enjoyed watching the New York Giants. On the first weekend of 1958, the Steelers were playing in San Francisco, losing to the 49ers 23 to 20. It was cost prohibitive for CBS to telecast the game back to Pittsburgh. Nevertheless, we were entitled to a game since no tea...

Re: Baltimore and the 1970 Colts
The AFC Championship Game in 1970 had the Colts hosting the Oakland Raiders. Early in the second quarter, the Colts grabbed a 10 to 0 lead. Bubba Smith and Roy Hilton then crashed into Daryl Lamonica, who was attempting to pass. With Lamonica's season over, in came George Blanda. The 43 year-old had...
