You solved it. I have all the known winners---not sure what happened in 1973 or 1972 NFC Not sure if they didn't do it, or cannot find...well, thanks for all that work. I was suspecting PFWA-NY, but LIAC . . . wouldn't have thought that. It's nice to finally get that puzzle solved, thanks for furni...

Inch by inch seems we're getting closer...but PFWA is my suspect because they named their Awards---Daley, Horrigan, etc . . .and it was a big to-do and seems like they would have spent the $$ to impress the winners. But that's just speculation. Would you believe the Long Island Athletic Club? Ken S...

They, like the PFWA-NY, have a couple of awards--the Starr and Lombardi, plus the Packers awards, best offensive player on packers, defense, rookie--like that

Thanks John for confirming that.

I remember there was mention in the Milwaukee Journal about Gary Cuozzo winning 1970 NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors at the 1971 dinner. I have no idea what Gary Cuozzo could have been coming back from or to. Dental School? Several years ago I posted a link to that event via Google News Arch...

Really nice work John. Here is a photo of George Halas and Vince Lombardi at the first awards dinner on 2/19/68: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/george-halas-and-vince-lombardi-of-the-green-bay-packers-news-photo/515100202 Did the N.Y.

I've contacted someone associated with the Maxwell Club-maybe they can get some info---we'll see, I doubt the Club even knows about it. I was content to let this informative thread fade into obscurity but here we go again. I was looking at 1966 Bart Starr photos (Getty Images) and noticed two photo...

With some luck the 1966 Vikings could have finished 8 and 6: Week 1 @ San Francisco - Tie 20-20 Week 4 @ Chicago - Lost 13-10 Week 7 @ Baltimore - Lost 20-17 Week 10 vs Detroit - Lost 32-31 Minnesota's 20 to 13 loss to the expansion Atlanta Falcons was probably the low point of the season. Van Brock...

I don't know if there is a list published anywhere these are known 1960-don't think there is one 1961 Paul Hornung 1962 Ray Nitschke 1963 Larry Morris 1964 Gary Collins 1965 Jim Taylor 1966-You mention Starr, I've never see it in a paper, but I could have easily missed it--but Starr makes sense. 19...

15 to 20 years ago I fixed a lot of the Wikipedia errors...they still mention the "Discrepancies" even though the 1958, 1959 and 1960 are not really discrepancies...AP just kept sending out wrong information year-after-year. Anyway, the Jack Kemp/Paul Lowe was fixed then as well. I also a...

For a long time, they listed Gino Marchetti as the 1958 MVP...he was their "lineman of the year" they listed Conerly not Unitas as the 1959 MVP (Conerly was the NEA MVP) They also had co-MVPs for 1960--the AP didn't have awards in 1960 That was some great detective work, I remember readin...
