ShareThisAll-pro information upgraded
When the site re-launched in December, a player was declared an an all-pro if he made first- or second-team on any of the various all-pro teams that were named in a given year. So a second-team all-NFC player and a unanimous first-team all-NFL guy were both simply called "all-pro." You may have noticed that, a few days ago, we essentially switched the meaning of "all-pro" to "first team AP all-pro." We've left that definition intact, but have now added a great deal more info.
The all-pro pages --- like this one, for example --- now provide you with a lot more information on which players were named to which teams. Also, the player pages have a list of all-pro honors, right below their leaderboard appearances. Jerry Rice made a lot of all-pro teams.
And a bit of unrelated news....
Prepare yourself for a site announcement tomorrow (Monday) night that some percentage of you will be very, very excited about. I really don't know what that percentage is, but if you're in it, you won't want to miss this announcement. UPDATE: announcement postponed until Tuesday morning. Sorry for the delay.

My first hope is that it's a hockey-reference site, but any additions to pro-football-reference will be smiled upon
While I'm very interested, I'd also love for there to be another Draft contest like last year's.
UPDATE: it looks like the announcement will have to wait until tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Sorry for the delay.
I have a question about sacks.....
With it being possible to get a full sack or a half sack, is there any list anywhere that tells how many "sack participations" each defensive player was in?
Let's define "sack participations" as follows:
Sack participations = full sacks + half sacks
Let me elaborate on my previous post:
Who's a better pass rusher:
Player A, who has 75 career sacks
or
Player B, who has 60 career sacks?
At first glance, it's "obvious" that the answer is Player A....
However, what if all of player A's sacks were full (i.e., solo) sacks and Player B's were all half sacks?
Using the "sack participation" statistic, Player A's 75 sack participations pales in comparison to Player B's 120 sack participations.

I would love to have transaction histories for each player, like baseball-reference does.
