And yes the Dolphins do have all their gamebooks on the site but a number of them are poor quality. I have just had an email and they are looking at re-scanning a list I sent them.

The other games (and all the 1975 games) were broadcast by local stations in each team's market and then it was only...

I came up with the stats of former RB Claude Watts, who starred for many teams and minor leagues from 1963-1975 (he finished his last two seasons with the Philadelphia Bell of the WFL and still was productive at age 35). Do you know why he never played in the NFL, AFL or CFL? I don't why he never p...

The single wing involved a tailback, wingback, fullback and blocking back.
The double wing had the blocking back as a second wingback.
