2007 NFL Record and Fact book

This book is awesome. I keep it by my side during all NFL games and I am able to identify players - find out where they went to school and how long they have been in the league. It has lots of info, but not overwhelming. Judy - SD

Not only Facts and Stats, but the NFL rules!

2004 NFL Record & Fact Book I have never felt a need to purchase a statistic book. When I received one for my birthday I was obligated to open it. Well, to my surprise I was fascinated with the records that the NFL has kept. I am an avid NFL fan. (Green Bay Packers) When I scanned some of the records, the who's who of football greats started popping up. Walter Payton, Jim Brown and Vince Lombardi to name a few. I knew I had great book for my collection. The book is broken down quite well into easy access information. The 2004 events are listed first. Schedule, Post season and nationally televised games, Scheduling formula, NFL active statistical leaders, coaches records, What to look for in 2004, 2004 Draft list, Tie breaking procedures and then each individual team is broken down in detail. Each team is deciphered by: * Club officials-owner on down to front office personal with historical background of each person * Coaches-Head coach and assistant coaches' history. * Stadium-Capacity, playing surface and training camp location. * Individual stats in 2003. * Rosters The next notable chapter is the 2003 year in review: Trades, week by week results, players of the week and month, team and individual stats, best performance and attendances. The next chapter is for the betting public looking for any edge to lay the line. Inside the Numbers includes records of teams on the road from 1970 to 2003, bye weeks-team record after and monthly record win percentage per team from 1994 to 2003. These are just the numbers no predictions here. Other chapters include: Pro Football Hall of Fame, Chronology of Professional Football, All time team vs. team results, Super Bowl summaries, Monday night records, Thursday-Sunday night, First round selection history and Records-all time and team/individual. Here you will find names like Rock Island Independents, Columbus Pan Handles, Tonawanda Kardex and Cleveland Indians. (Yes, Cleveland was an NFL team for those MLB baseball fans.) Of notable quiz show highlights: Jim Thorpe was the first NFL Commissioner for one year. (1920) And last and most subject to interpretation are the Rules of the game. The roster of officials (Includes day job), Official Signals with illustrations and the Digest of Rules. Notable highlights are the jurisdiction, positions and duties of each official. Definitions of official's words like impetus, muff and chucking. Since we are on the subject of NFL rules, the most controversial rule pass interference is dissected like no other. Underlined words are for stressing to the public what to look for while watching games I think. The pass interference rule has five additional notes. These notes break down certain incidents that could occur on each play and what to look for. After reading the pass interference rules a couple times through I am still confused! What is true of most written rules applies here "what is written and how it is interpreted by each individual

NFL FACT BOOK IS A TOUCHDOWN

One of many fact laden books on the NFL, this one stands up well with all of them. Perhaps the only drawback, is the extreme volume of facts, some important only to statisticians. But in general, the book is a good source of information, and a great coffee table item (as mine is) when the season starts.

Hardcore football fans will love it!

I have the 1997 and 1998 editions of this book, and I can guarantee that the 1999 edition will be just as good. The book gives a brief history of the NFL, league records, team facts for all 31 teams. Plus league standings back to the formation of the NFL, series standings and scores of every NFL game ever played! This book is a must for the avid NFL fan!!!
