You aren't missing anything Aaron. :) The files clearly are corrupted.

The best results with wimgtool are when the file is Inserted as
Mode: Raw
File type: Basic
Ascii flag: Binary

The C-Hawk Football won't list or run. You can get most of the file by listing 
it in segments, skipping over bad line numbers, ex.
LIST
LIST6-
LIST37-
LIST102-
LIST234-
etc.

It looks to me that there might be a loader file which must be run first or the 
tokens are not correct for a Coco. It seems to use both cassette and disk 
commands with line 1 being
1 CONT CLOAD
which is just not right.

There is always the chance it is a tape-only program which might account for the 
wrong tokens but I'm not sure what format it is in. It is certainly not a wav file.
