Abusing Football Officials

With the start of the football season, we will soon hear of frightful behavior by players, coaches, and fans who assault game officials due to the calls or lack of calls made in games. Such behavior is unacceptable whenever it occurs, but it would be a mistake to believe this type of behavior is new. The world has always had jerks, and a part of its jerk population has found its way onto football fields. So, here are a few stories of our grandparents, great-grandparents, or their ancestors actin — www.footballarchaeology.com

1966 Football Practice Equipment Catalog

Football teams practice four, five, or more times more often than they play games, so the methods and equipment used in practice are vital parts of the game’s history.

Canadian Football Is Open For Business

Today’s Tidbit is published early as a public service to those who do not regularly watch the CFL but should. It is a wide-open game featuring five wide receivers, though that did not stop Montreal and Ottawa from playing to a 22-21 score last night in a game featuring ten made field goals. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Football Early Executioner Mask

Broken noses were primarily relegated to football’s past in the 1960s due to the widespread use of face masks. Before that, broken noses were common, so players, trainers, and equipment manufacturers developed methods to protect the proboscis or, at least, to keep them from further harm once injured. Noses went unprotected until 1892 when Harvard captain Arthur Cumnock developed a hard rubber device to protect a teammate’s broken nose. Cumnock soon sold the rights to his invention to John Mo — www.footballarchaeology.com

College Football's Memorial Stadiums, Part I

Arkansas coach Sam Pittman ended a recent press conference by suggesting that Razorback fans should fill Arkansas’ War Memorial Stadium for Saturday’s game with Western Carolina, arguing for them to show respect for the service members who gave their lives for their country and for whom the Razorbacks’ stadium is named. Given his argument, reviewing the 17 FBS stadiums dedicated as memorials to the nation’s war dead seemed appropriate. — www.footballarchaeology.com
