Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?
With Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins out with a season-ending injury, it's likely he will never play again for the Purple and Gold. How will he rate in the Minnesota Vikings history books? 3rd total yards (23,265). He was on pace to surpass Tommy Kramer in this category this season. 3rd t...

Re: Chicago A.A. Question (1891? - 1898?)
Whenever I see talk about these early Chicago teams, I always think about organized crime, and I'm always drawn to whether a neighborhood boss or gambling crime ring had anything to do with a change in the status of a football team. My example is from much later, in the early 1920s, when the Titus H...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
A virtual PFRA chapter COULD include any football fan with access to the internet from anywhere. The PFRA chapters in Buffalo and Philly do that now. They welcome visitors from elsewhere, they just don't get many. Of course, any chapter would welcome outsiders and potential members to gatherings, b...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
The definition of a chapter in the PFRA is a sub-organization of the PFRA that serves people in a specific geographic area. Where did you get the definition? The only chapters the PFRA has or has had have been chapters that serve people in a specific geographic area. SABR chapters follow the same m...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
If it's going to meet on-line, why is there a need for geographic boundaries? The definition of a chapter in the PFRA is a sub-organization of the PFRA that serves people in a specific geographic area. A virtual chapter that is all-inclusive of PFRA members is simply the PFRA itself but virtually. ...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
So the idea is/was great. Shut down as a non-starter would be a bit much. Seems like the proposal would just need to be tweaked for places that otherwise don't have the numbers for a chapter -- which is what I thought the idea was anyway? I agree with the need for geographic boundaries, but that do...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
I would urge the powers involved here to be a little more forward-thinking on this issue. I agree with the idea the PFRA needs to be more forward-thinking in terms of how we bring people together. When I was at the biannual convention in Pittsburgh, I looked around and realized that much of the PFR...

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA
After some conversations, it appears that a blanket "virtual chapter" of the PFRA is a non-starter, for a number of good reasons. First, the intention was for the chapter to help people in far-flung places to get together online and to hold events, similar to a physical chapter, but entire...
