Re: COFFIN CORNER VOLUME 46 NUMBER 1

Haven't had a chance to read the piece on electric football but I'm really looking forward to it. I got one of those games for Christmas back in '67 or '68, and I can remember lugging it several blocks in the snow to play it in my buddy's basement. Pretty sure the teams that came with the set were t...

Re: Top, and Worst, Ten teams of the 14-game era, '61-thru-'77?

I'm too lazy to do a Top 10 list. I'll do a Top 1 list:

Best: 1962 Packers
Worst: 1966 Giants

But man, I just looked up the Bucs' first 2 seasons. Forgot how truly terrible they were. They were shut out in 11 of their first 26 games. Brutal.

Layne/Rote was good, for as long as it lasted (which wasn't long).

Re: 1959 Packers

Thanks for the tip. Somebody put out a book years back that contained contemporaneous scouting reports of current and prospective Packers from that era. Nitschke was such a handful that they were just dying for an excuse to get rid of him. It's fun to read how little scouts sugar-coated their repor...

Re: Pittsburgh convention photo

I dunno. That ain't so bad. You oughta see my driver's license photo. Got a bad case of pillow hair, one eye's half-closed, and overall looks like I've just been shocked with a cattle prod.

Re: Bates' UFL field goal

I once saw my dad kick my brother in the ass after he came home with a dent in his brand new Dodge. I swear he sailed at least 60 yards.

However, with four knucklehead sons, it wasn't my dad's first kick.
