Re: Was 1977 the most referee-affected season ever?

I actually recently researched the 77 season and how it affected officiating for a chapter of Red, White, and Columbia Blue, which is about the 79 Oilers.

Re: Obscure things remembered about somewhat obscure players

I remember Phillip Epps hopping down the sidelines for several yards for the Packers against the Lions. They used the footage in the Dire Straits Walk of Life video.

Re: If you could enshrine one player into the Hall of Fame..

So many. But here are a few that would be top priority for me. Lionel Taylor -- We all know that he was first to 100 catches in a season but not so many know he had a big impact on the careers of two HOF receivers (Swann and Stallworth), was a key part of that 70s Steelers coaching staff AND was off...

I just self-published mine on Amazon and IngramSpark....I have been traditionally published before and that's a great route also....the thing I liked about self-publishing was it was out immediately....the downside is finding the right person to edit and someone to format it, etc.....the traditional...
