Pro-Football-Reference is the Coolest Website Ever Made!

I have avoided hyperbole or anything close to it for a while now, but I had to mention this: Pro-Football-Reference has added box scores for every NFL game dating back to 1940. This mean that we now have access to box scores for every game the Cowboys have ever played. You are free to call me a pathetic loser for thinking this is exciting, but this is some good stuff.

Testing out this new feature with some did-you-know? trivia:

* In the first game in franchise history against the Steelers in 1960, the Cowboys jumped out to a 14-0 lead, thanks to touchdowns passes from Eddie LeBaron to Jim Doran and Fred Dugan.
* The kicker for the Steelers in that game was quarterback Bobby Layne.
* The Steelers tied the game 21-21 on a 70-yard touchdown from Layne to Buddy Dial, who later played for the Cowboys.
* The Cowboys led as late as the third quarter, when LeBaron hit Doran for a 54-yard touchdown to give the Cowboys a 28-21 lead.

Here is the boxscore for this game. Great stuff.

    I have been a fan of this web site for a long time. I link to it from many of my player pages and also sponsor many pages. I have not seen the box scores yet but nothing like that suprises me.. they have a baseball and basketball site also.

    So great when we get such intelligent thoughts on here. If I wanted to talk to an eight-year-old, I’d call for my son.
