    This week we discuss the final regular season games of several future Hall of Famers; the Hall's diss of Lemar Parrish; the woeful play of Ed Baker; Larry Wilson's legacy; stats symmetry as usual; two running backs missing 1,000 yard seasons by less than 10 yards; and the great passing combination of Widby to Nitschke.

    1972 Week 12

    This week we discuss the versatile and valuable Preston Pearson and Walt Garrison, even more "little used" players, the changing of the guard in the AFC Central, and wonder just who is the Gingerbread Man.

    This week we discuss titles of Bill Loose pieces, Jack Mildren, little used players (again), a history wipeout of the Eagles by the Giants, and losers scoring 10 points. Quote of the week: "I don't think Art Malone went to the Abramowicz School of Celebrating." Intro-outro music: "Beat Documentary 7." (at least I think that's what it's called)

Hidden Gem of a Football Podcast!

Two boomers talk for an hour each week on an episode from THIS WEEK IN PRO FOOTBALL and do so in a droll and wryly humorous style. Great stuff!

Excellent podcast

Just discovered the podcast via your Facebook page. Very entertaining and well-done. As a sports history buff, I always enjoyed shows like This Week in Pro Football. It’s awesome to see others out there who share the same passion. The stats and tidbits you discuss add to the enjoyment when I watch old episodes. Looking forward to future shows.
