I am sorry to hear that, but I know how much time, effort, and money go into a website, especially one with as much information as yours. Thank you for providing it for MANY years to help researchers such as myself.

Unlikely. PFHOF views leagues that the NFL essentially absorbed (AAFC, AFL) as statistical extensions of the NFL, with other leagues (USFL, CFL) left out.
Unfortunately, the NFL does not see it the same way regarding the AAFC.

Re: "Virtual" chapter of the PFRA

Again, I must emphasize that the Buffalo (or WNY) chapter was set up to be regional, so members from Rochester, Syracuse, Erie, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Cleveland, etc. could join us. We have ALWAYS let it be known that everyone is invited. Short of sending the association chopper to pick people up , i...

Re: Wondering if this will work

I understand where you guys are coming from John but I may have to disagree ... I saw it this morning for the first time after it was published. Those who wrote it would be better at addressing your concerns. While it is an interesting approach I was not part of it and was not asked to sign. There ...

I realize he and Lewellen cancel each other out but do you feel if Isbell or Sharpe were to get elected it could help Dilweg next year and beyond? Though I like Lewellen just slightly more, you wonder how many more chances the...

Re: Bylaws Rules on taking PFRA position

Probably doesn't have to be too 'wordy' and just a simple, "we officially go by the standards of the PFHOF, CBA and Total Football" or something along those lines. Someone can word it better but really only needs to be a straightforward 1-2 sentence thing. Agree. If it does happen, concis...
