From Marcus Allen's early days of Pop Warner football in Southern California, he had one goal for his football career: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As absurd as it may sound for a 10-year old boy to think about reaching the NFL, let alone the Hall of Fame, that was Marcus Allen.

In fact, he rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown in his first regular-season game for the Los Angeles Raiders, against the defending world champion San Francisco 49ers. He went on to have a tremendous rookie season, winning the Rookie of the Year award. Despite rough seasons off the field with Raiders' owner Al Davis, Allen never lost sight of his boyhood dream of reaching the... Less

THE ROAD TO BIG WEEK The Struggle for Daylight Air Supremacy Over Western Europe July 1942 – February 1944 By Eric Hammel The Road to Big Week begins with a thorough examination of American development of a strategic bombing doctrine from its earliest conception in the years after World War I.
