NATE PALMER’S COLLEGE STATISTICS

ROOKIES VS. FIRST-YEAR PLAYERSRookies are players in their first year of pro football who have not been on another pro football team’s roster for any

regular-season or postseason games. First-year players are those who have played in other pro sports leagues (Arena Football League, etc.), have participated in previous NFL training camps, or have been on an NFL team’s active, inactive or reserve list fewer than six games.

The rule originated when Lawrence McCutcheon, drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1972, played only three games his “rookie” season, then rushed for 1,097 yards in 1973. Today, due to McCutcheon and because rosters began expanding around the 1970 NFL-AFL merger (reserve lists formalized, etc.), that year is considered the beginning of the rookie rule. So today, for records purposes, the Packers use 1970 as a separator. From 1921-69, anyone who had yet to play three league games was generally considered a rookie.

SAM BARRINGTON’S COLLEGE STATISTICS

GLOSSARY OF TERMS •Franchised Market – Television market (ADI or DMA) that has an NFL franchise (i.e., Bu� alo, N.Y., or Phoenix, Ariz.). •Secondary Blackout Market – Television market in the home territory (with station[s] having signal penetration to within 75 miles of the game site) of an NFL franchise that is subject to blackout restrictions. •Early Game – Game with kicko� at 12:02 p.m. CT.•Late Game – Game with kicko� at 3:05 or 3:25 p.m. CT.

BLACKOUT POLICYTo ensure an NFL club’s ability to sell all of its game tickets, and to make televised games more attractive to viewers through the presence of sellout crowds, the following policy is observed by the NFL:

For a home game to be aired locally in the franchised market and in any secondary blackout market(s), the game must be sold out 72 hours in advance of kickoff. If the game is not a sellout by the 72-hour cutoff, both the home franchised market and the secondary markets of the carrying network will air an alternate game.

NUMBER OF GAMES IN A MARKETWith regard to the number of NFL games seen in a particular market on a Sunday afternoon, there are three situations. •An NFL franchised market (i.e., New York, Chicago, Dallas, etc.) – On a week when the NFL team (or teams) in a market is on the ROAD

Sunday, Monday or Thursday night, or Saturday afternoon, the market will receive three Sunday afternoon games: Two telecasts by the network with the doubleheader week and one game by the network with the single-game week. When an NFL team in the market is playing at HOME on Sunday afternoon, the market will receive two games: One game on FOX and one game on CBS, regardless of which network has the doubleheader week. That is, unless 1) the home team’s assigned telecaster that day (CBS or FOX) also is on the doubleheader network and 2) the game is sold out 72 hours in advance. In that case, the three games would be the home team’s and two other games in the remaining early or late window.•All other television markets (including secondary blackout markets) – Network a� liates in these markets will receive three games on Sunday afternoon, two on the doubleheader network (one early and one late) and one game on the single-game network (either early or late).

SELECTION OF GAMES TO BE TELECAST REGIONALLYBy network contract, all team road games must be telecast back to that team’s home territory (franchised market and secondary blackout markets). Other than this requirement, the televising network is the sole selector of which game(s) will be aired in all markets.

In the Green Bay Press-Gazette on Aug. 29, 1919, two weeks before the team’s � rst organized game, sports editor and Packers co-founder George Calhoun � rst publicly identi� ed the team as the “Indian Packers.”

Curly Lambeau received $500 from his employer, the Indian Packing Co., for uniforms and equipment, and for use of the company’s lot for practice. In exchange, Lambeau and Calhoun agreed to call the team “Packers.” Early fans, many of whom were working-class citizens, immediately embraced the name, widely publicized by Calhoun.

Calhoun also called them simply “Indians” brie� y in 1919, but that moniker seemed to fold with the company, soon purchased – along with the team – by Acme Packing Co. In 1921, the team’s � rst season in what is now the NFL, its owners had “Acme Packers” put on the jersey, setting the name in stone.

While “Packers” has served as the primary nickname since the team’s embryonic stages, fans and sportswriters also have called them the Big Bay Blues, or the Bays. Lambeau in 1922 applied with the name “Blues,” but public opinion quickly vetoed him.

A packer is someone who works at a packing house, an establishment for slaughtering, processing and packing livestock into meat, meat products and byproducts. “Green Bay Packers” is the longest-standing team name in NFL history.
