AFL fan Mike Sniegowski gave me a heads up that some AFL 50th Anniversary Gear is still available.

AFL fan and author Todd Tobias sends the following:

"I hope all is well. I was wondering if you might mention something on your next broadcast email. I added a function to my blog that allows folks to be emailed each time I post a new article to Tales from the American Football League. All they have to do is go to the site and find the box at the top of the page to input their email address. They will then receive an email that tells them to click on a given link to confirm that they indeed want to receive updates when I add new content."

Bills' great Booker Edgerson commented on my page about AFL on-field officials, and says that AFL referee Hugh 'Sonny' Gamber actually worked Booker's high school football and baseball games in Little Rock, and his college games at Western Illinois University, in addition to many AFL Bills' games that Booker played in. I guess it was hard to pull the wool over Hugh's eyes after all that exposure, eh, Booker? Any other stories about the AFL officials would be appreciated.

Also, if you watched the game last night, you learned that Jack Kemp held a Pro Football record for 57 years ~ three touchdown passes in the first quarter of a game. Not only that, it was the first quarter of the first GAME of the season, 1964, when Kemp led the Bills to their first championship. Aaron Rodgers tied the record exactly: 3 tds in the 1st quarter of the 1st game.
