Creation of the ballot itself requires a bit of time, but the list of names has been sent to The Coffin Corner by the HoVG Committee and the work to build the ballot has started. Issue 5 will go to the printer Septemb...

Re: "Deacon" on back of Deacon Jones's jersey
During the Rams 1971 MNF game against Washington and George Allen, the ABC announcers called Jones David or Dave. I've watched a video of the game and it sounds silly. Jones was known as Deacon Jones. Offensive linemen had other names for him, but he was known as Deacon to the fans and it was silly ...

Bates' UFL field goal
Jake Bates won Saturday's UFL opener with a 64-yard field goal. It was his first professional place kick, since the UFL does not have conversion kicks after TDs. Can anyone think of another place kicker whose first professional field goal attempt was a successful 64-yarder? Or longer? I can't think ...

Dick Butkus
I know this should be in a different group of topics, but this is one of the biggest names in the history of the game. Dick Butkus has passed away at 80.

Re: USFL, XFL are merging
https://theathletic.com/4909482/2023/09/28/xfl-usfl-merge-spring-football-league/ What do we make of this? Will the resulting "USXFL" finally play a meaningful role in the professional ecosystem? Will the product finally produce recognizable stars in the way, say, the CFL does? I think on...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
Again, I must emphasize that the Buffalo (or WNY) chapter was set up to be regional, so members from Rochester, Syracuse, Erie, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Cleveland, etc. could join us. We have ALWAYS let it be known that everyone is invited. Short of sending the association chopper to pick people up, it...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
A virtual PFRA chapter COULD include any football fan with access to the internet from anywhere. The PFRA chapters in Buffalo and Philly do that now. They welcome visitors from elsewhere, they just don't get many. Of course, any chapter would welcome outsiders and potential members to gatherings, b...
