What was it like to be on the set for the "NFL 100 Super Bowl commercial"? You don't have to wonder, here it is.

This is by far the best video I've seen on YouTube in a long time.

There's a similar trove of Dallas Cowboys features from the 1970s (and some from the 1960s), including Staubach talking about the fight with Longley, Hollywood Henderson interviewed right after being drafted, Too Tall Jones interviewed after being drafted, the Cowboys getting ready for the 1975 NFC ...

There's a program from the March 2, 1962 exhibition basketball game between the Eagles and Colts in Hershey, Pa. up on ebay now, for just $19,999 you can be the proud owner. Oh, I should mention there was another game played that night that's also featured in the program, apparently some really tall...

Great feedback everyone, really cool stuff. Jeff, it's remarkable you mentioned Tom Dempsey, as I just recently came across an anecdote from a news brief that on Nov. 9, 1975, Dempsey hit San Francisco's Ralph McGill in the head with his foot on a field goal attempt.

I agree that a comparison is apples to oranges, there's just too many differences in different eras of pro football for me to conclusively say Lombardi was greater than Belichick or Belichick is greater than Lombardi. I prefer sort of a stream of consciousness about what I appreciate most about each...

Here are some notes about that bizarre circumstance from my research document titled “The NFL’s Most Momentous Off-Season – Ever. A Chronology of the Spring and Summer of 1976” The Giants-Jets game scheduled for Mon. Aug. 9 at Yankee Stadium was postponed until Wed. Aug. 11, due to Hurricane Belle d...

Great replies guys, I really appreciate it. Some other thoughts to ponder: 1950 NFL Championship – who held for Groza's game-winning kick? 1958 Giants/Browns – Jeff is correct, Conerly held for Summerall, with the famous line of "What the hell are you doing out here?" to Summerall. 1958 NF...

A while back I put together a list of "fumbles per touches" for about 50 historic running backs. I counted rushing attempts, receptions, kickoff and punt returns, even pass attempts, and divided by fumbles, with data from pro football reference. The top six were Curtis Martin (1 every 138 ...
