Horn hurt his knee during pregame warmups before the Packers' 1970 Thanksgiving game at Dallas. That was almost beside the point, though, because he had already said he would play out his option in Green Bay that season. Lombardi (Horn has claimed) had wanted to bring him to Washington and that neve...

Everyone understood that the team was aging and the coaching transition would be a factor, but as mentioned, there didn't seem to be a strong challenger in the Central. The beating they took from...

Some of you might remember Fleetwood Records out of Boston as a custom-recording outfit that, among other niches, produced documentary albums about various sports teams from about 1967-81. The company also did some auto-racing LPs and other miscellaneous albums, but it was best known for titles that...
