About a year ago without much publicity the Pro Football Hall of Fame uploaded 61 videos from their Weeb Ewbank game film collection. https://livestream.com/profootballhof/events/8048086 It's an awesome collection of raw football footage that includes the game film from Super Bowl 3. The Jim Trimble...

I was looking for those items this morning and stumbled upon them at this site:

Someone in the press pointed out that most linotype operators in 1960 didn't have an "ñ " to spell "Señors", and that readers would wonder what a "Senor" was. The name was introduced on April 6 and changed on April 15 of 1960. A bit of trivia is "What other new te...

Steve McNair had a tremendous career playing the majority of it with Jeff Fisher as his head coach.

When ranking the all-time head coaches I wouldn't factor in their coaching trees.

In 1960, the Cowboys and Rams played a preseason game in Pendleton, Oregon, at a rodeo stadium named the Round-Up. The game's a...

One of the end zones was marked "Broncos" during the 1986 AFC Championship Game in Cleveland.

I believe at one point early in the game's history (pre-NFL) the conversion was actually worth more points then the actual touchdown. The point in scoring the touchdown was because it gave a team a chance to try for the conversion. You're right about the XP being worth more than a TD, but it was fo...

It's funny to not even see Brett Favre's name mentioned at least once in this thread. I wouldn't put him on the all-NFL team, but I feel like he was at least a top-ten all-time QB.
