[net.sport.football] Stats over the past few years

pickle@nmtvax.UUCP (10/23/85)

    Does anyone know where I can get stats on NFL games for the past
four or five years?  I'm looking for stuff like points for, against,
yards passing and running, and individual preformances, as well as
scores.  I know I can dig it out of back issues from the library, but
I'd rather not have to.
    I'm thinking of writing a program to come up with important stats
to help with picking teams, so I'd like some computer readable form.

Thanx in advance,

There was a book out last year around Christmas time (I forget the name of it.
It had a green cover [grass] with some football equipment on it).  My brother
bought it for me.  It had all sorts of great information about each team in
the NFL dating back to the AFL-NFL days.  You might find it again this year.
It does make a great gift for football fans.  Look in your local book store.
