Is this an NFL first?
Where every team has a bye week between the exhibition and regular seasons? When did the NFL last open on Labor Day weekend? As I recall, the TV ratings were really down when that happened.

CFL opens tonight
After missing 2020, the CFL returned to action tonight (Aug. 5). I remember becoming fascinated by this league while growing up in the 70s and reading about it in the back of NFL preview magazines (Street & Smiths and another whose title I can't recall). It seemed like in the 70s 1 or 2 US playe...

1971 Kansas City Chiefs
Looking for some opinions about this team. I understand many think this might've been their best team in their 66-71 run. Obviously, it was the beginning of the end for that era as evidenced by the next few seasons. Chiefs vs. Cowboys in the Super Bowl would've been interesting with the former Dalla...

Re: CFL on American Syndication 1970s
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the CFL and Aussie Rules Football were the primary "live" events carried by ESPN during its infancy. Of course, I'm guessing some boxing would have been live as well.

CFL on American Syndication 1970s
I seemed to recall as a kid watching CFL games on a UHF station in 72-73 but could not anything about those games until tonight. Alex Karras was the color guy for those games that were shown on Wednesday nights. I believe the creation of the WFL led to the demise of this programming in the US
