With respect to CFL boxscores, your best bet is, unfortunately, a subscription to a newspaper archive site. That's not unfortunate! That's some of the best money I spend every year! :) Here are the 1976 East and West finals, for starters. https://i.postimg.cc/J0n7Wcp9/1976-cfl-east-west-finals.jpg

You have to remember, though, that they had Hugh Culverhouse as owner. He was incompetent times 20. Oh, I've never forgotten it. I was there. It wasn't JUST him, as he did handle coach hires (mostly bad, or bizarre), but McKay's hubris and the others who scouted players who thought Booker Reese cou...

Good to know, thanks.

Seems the new CBA in 1978 established compensation going forward, but left previous disputes up to the individual owners. And Art Modell (in a rare case of keeping his word) had promised to compensate Miami for Warfield.

NDF is very 70s, and the football scenes aren't fantastically realistic, but I will take Mac Davis as Seth Maxwell any day of the week and twice on (any given) Sunday. Nolte also channels Gent/Phil Elliott very well. There are a lot of good performances and it's (spoiler alert) not the happy ending...

Certainly a loss to the research community, but thanks for all the years of maintaining the site.

I'm NOT asking or expecting anyone to DO this...! I just wonder if it's been done and where I might find some or all of this, if it has. Nevers college stats at Stanford are something I have never been able to find anywhere. Would also like to find Box Scores for CFL Playoff games/rounds before Gre...

I agree this was the sentiment at the time, that Vinny was a 'can't miss' prospect, but in retrospect that is kind of crazy. Testaverde's performance in the Fiesta Bowl was frightening. He basically cost his team the national title. Yet everyone simply brushed that off because Testaverde 'looked li...

The Dolphins did get comp for Csonka, Kiick, and Warfield when they returned to the NFL. When Csonka signed with the Giants on April 7, 1976 (after Joe Robbie scoffed at Csonka's demand for a five year, $2M contract...which, as it turned out, would have been a stretch for what was left in Zonk's ta...

Do you know when that lawsuit had a ruling issued? I believe Ron Jaworksi signing with the Eagles was also subject to Rozelle Rules, but they worked out the 'compensation' on their own (Charlie Young went to the Rams). The federal judge in Minneapolis issued the ruling rendering the Rozelle Rule il...

It seemed like the decisions to get rid of Steve Young and screw up the Bo Jackson sweepstakes set the team back. The Young decision was in the top five worst decisions in team history (and a byproduct of the worst one). This all goes back to what was, for the first 20 years of the team, was a recu...
