Both teams looked to have the best shot at racking up one-sided slates since the Miami Dolphins went 17-0 in 1973 en route to the Super Bowl. The Jets managed to trip up the pigskin prophets by upsetting the Buffalo Bills, but the Giants are winless at the midseason mark and after a 27-0 drubbing at the hands of the Steelers last Sunday seem well on the way to an 0-14 mark...

Emprise owns all six of Arizona's dog tracks, but has to sell two of them by 1978, mostly because Bolles's articles forced a lethargic state legislature to correct the monopoly.
