This is an archive for nfl statistics and information.

stored in /pub/nfl at wuarchive.

Currently it is being run via the kindness of Chris Myers,
and being maintained at the convenience of Bryan Cooper 
(cooperr@a.cs.okstate.edu).

Everything is accessible at wuarchive.wustl.edu in directory:
/doc/misc/sports/nfl.

/doc/misc/sports/nfl/Lists holds miscellaneous tables of info.
/doc/misc/sports/nfl/Misc  holds varied informations such as the
	QB rating formula.
/doc/misc/sports/nfl/Records holds summaries of seasons, championships, etc.
/doc/misc/sports/nfl/Statistical-leaders holds listings of
	record holders at various positions such as passing yardage leaders.

Enjoy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, I only have time to maintain records and information as of
the end of the '91 season.  I don't have the time to try to keep
track of where Eric Dickerson is on the career rushing yardage
leaders, nor do I have time to update records that have been
shattered this season such as Lofton, and Monk's receiving accomplishments.

But, if anyone would be willing to take on these functions, please
get in touch with me (cooperr@a.cs.okstate.edu).  It would also be nice
for someone to maintain current standings in the divisions.

Right now, this archive is in it's fledgling stages, and I would appreciate
any support that could be given.  I will add files as I create and
collect them.

Thanx for the time you have spent in reading this file.
