It arrives late a couple times a season, on time the rest
I've subscribed to the bible of pro football information long enough to collect two PFW tee shirts and long enough to collect a guarantee one season that, for any issue that arrived after the weekend's action, I would get a free copy. <
> <
>I cashed in on that guarantee twice that season, which is about the average number of issues that are late. The one that is published the week of Thanksgiving is almost always late, as is one other one that time of year. Otherwise PFW usually arrives in my mailbox on the Friday or Saturday before each weekend's games. <
> <
>In the event it doesn't, an email or phone call to their circulation department in Chicago usually resolves the issue. For those that can't possibly live with that, you can add enough to your subscription to ensure the paper is delivered by first class mail. <
> <
>I find this magazine far more helpful in the off-season than during the regular season. Even given free agency and the so-called 12-month NFL season, the off-season is the time of year few are talking about the NFL and trying to find info on teams aside from your local club is difficult. The columnists also publish all year long. <
> <
>Besides, if it's going to arrive late and there is something you absolutely positively must know RIGHT NOW, you can dial up their Internet Web site and find it. PFW publishes first run news on its Web site -- such as disclosures that three expected top draft picks in 2007 admitted using marijuana in college -- and includes an insider's section and other stuff for which you can electroncially subscribe. <
> <
>For the uninitiated that have never read the pro football bible, it publishes game summaries and game previews each week with every team's roster 2 and 3 deep at every position. Because there is a time lag from publication to delivery there is typically some lag time in news. But it's close most of the time and right on target much of the time. What isn't on time is published on the Web site. <
> <
>Whatever its real or perceived shortcomings, PFW is certainly preferable to Sports Illustrated or other general interest weekly sports publications that dedicate one or two writers to the sport (which also arrive late a couple times a sesaon). No other magazine delivers the inside scoop on the NFL. <

>Pro Football Weekly carries stories on every team every week written by beat writers that follow the teams around. I visited the Pontiac Silverdome one time when the Lions were playing there. Mike O'Hara, who then covered the team for the Detroit Free Press, told me his office was at the Silverdome and he never went downtown to the paper. This is the quality of inside information you get from Pro Football Weekly on all 32 teams all year long.
