Football Weblog’s One Page Printable Schedule is as ubiquitous today as sliced bread. But back in 1969, it was cutting-edge technology. Fueled by the Cold War, it became a race between the National Football League (NFL) and the Soviet Comrade Football Collective (SCFC) to shrink an entire professional football schedule to fit onto a single letter-sized sheet of paper. Galvanized by President John F. Kennedy’s speech, the drive to achieve the unthinkable was ultimately a success.

In his speech, JFK declared, “We choose to create a one-page printable NFL schedule. We choose to create a one-page printable NFL schedule in this season and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

This monumental effort marked a significant milestone in schedule creation and established Football Weblog as a leader in the scheduling race.

Greetings, gridiron aficionados! It’s that time of year where we once again explore the tangled, intricate foliage of the NFL Coaching Tree. Like a majestic oak spreading its branches across the football landscape, the coaching tree tells the story of mentorship, growth, and the occasional pruning of under-performing branches.

As we embark on this arboreal adventure, let’s take a moment to appreciate the sturdy trunks and verdant leaves that make up the coaching forest of the NFL. From the towering redwoods of seasoned veterans to the sprightly saplings of rookie head coaches, every branch has a story to tell.

Some old branches have withered away, while others have burst forth with fresh shoots eager to prove their mettle on the sideline. Some coaches have branched out to new teams, while others have been unceremoniously chopped down, their coaching careers ending up as mere firewood for the off-season rumor mill.

Will Shipley, Football Weblog’s inaugural “Adopt-A-Player”, makes history as the first of the program’s selections to enter the NFL. The Philadelphia Eagles chose Shipley with the 127th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Shipley’s potential as a high school athlete was evident, and this recognition highlighted his promise as a future star in the football world.

The Eagles’ decision to draft Shipley was strategic, as they traded picks with Houston to secure his talents for their roster. Shipley, known for his versatility as a runner, pass catcher, and kick returner, expressed his commitment to hard work and earning the respect of his new teammates and coaches during his introductory press conference as an Eagle.

Shipley’s collegiate career at Clemson further solidified his status as a dynamic playmaker. Standing at 5-11 and weighing 206 pounds, he amassed over 3,200 total yards of offense and 34 touchdowns during his three years with the Tigers. His performance in 2023 was particularly notable, earning him recognition as the first Power 5 player since Christian McCaffrey to achieve certain statistical milestones.

The NFL recently made an adjustment to the Week 6 Sunday games schedule. This marks the first flexible schedule change for the 2023 NFL season.

In an announcement on Monday, the league announced that the game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, initially slated for October 15 at 1 PM ET, will now kick off at 4:25 PM ET. This change was prompted by the impressive early-season performance of both teams, making this rescheduled time slot more desirable.

Both the Lions and Buccaneers are currently sporting 3-1 records as they approach Week 5. The Lions are widely anticipated to secure another victory against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, while the Buccaneers have a bye week to prepare for their upcoming clash.

I was reminiscing about the Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks in the NFL the other day. It struck me how each of them once daydreamed as a kid about leading their team to a Super Bowl victory, but little did they know the incredible journey that awaited them. They embarked on a path filled with hard work, dedication, and sacrifice to mold themselves into the elite, Super Bowl-caliber quarterbacks we admire today.

Their early years were marked by relentless effort, countless hours on the practice field, and unwavering commitment to honing their skills. They navigated the challenges of high school football, faced fierce competition in college, and emerged as true football prodigies.

As rookies in the NFL, they were entrusted with the hopes and dreams of their teams and fans alike. And every quarterback’s NFL journey began with that very first NFL pass—a pivotal moment that marked the inception of their remarkable careers. Who was the target of that momentous first pass? How many yards did that first pass encompass? My curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to find out.

At first, I considered compiling all of the information into a spreadsheet and presenting it in a neat little table. But then, I had a better idea. I thought, why not create a lively slideshow, and set it to some catchy music? So, I went ahead and put it all together, and the result is the video below. I invite you to check it out, and I genuinely hope you find it enjoyable.

As always, run to daylight!

As you may know, Football Weblog began “adopting players” in 2021.  The idea is to randomly select a top 50 high school skill position prospect each season to call our own, and then follow his career along the way.  Will the player bomb out and end up flipping burgers in a couple of years, or will he blossom into an NFL star who is eventually fitted to wear a gold Pro Football Hall of Fame jacket?  No matter how it plays out, it will prove to be compelling.

The football stork gave us running backs the first two seasons.  In 2021, running back Will Shipley was named the inaugural Adopt-A-Player.  Shipley plays for the Clemson Tigers and continues to gain recognition for his agility, speed, and versatility on the field.

In 2022, running back Raleek Brown was added to Football Weblog’s Adopt-A-Player fold.  Brown plays for the USC Trojans and is also known for his versatility.  Brown continues to be a promising prospect despite the potential for some competition at his position heading into this season.

This season marks the first quarterback to be adopted.  The 2023 Adopt-A-Player is…

Football Weblog’s NFL schedules are the Johnny U of football schedules. Like Johnny Unitas, Football Weblog’s schedules are not flamboyant. They are black high-top cleats, no-nonsense, clean cut, all-American, blue-collar everyman schedules. Other schedules may be flashier and more flamboyant, but when you’re looking for a schedule that conveniently compresses the entire 18-week, 272-game regular season to an 8-1/2” x 11” single page, and presents itself in a clean, vintage style, Football Weblog’s schedules are the way to go.
