BendMeOver Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 2. John Bain "Jock" Sutherland, coached the Steelers in their very first playoff game in December 1947, where he promptly lost 21-0. Mr. Sutherland died in April of the following year. Pittsburgh would wait 16 more years before making another playoff appearance. 4. The Bulldogs, calling Canton home in 1922 and 1923, then moving to Cleveland 1924 after being bought out by the Cleveland Indians owner Sam Deutsh. The owner then tried to sell the team back to Canton after the 1924 season, but no one was interested so the club was moth-balled for a year. 6. I believe there are 5 teams (not 4), since Pittsburgh started in 1933. The Cardinals (Chi 1920-1960), St. Louis (1960-1988), Arizona (1988 to present) The Staleys (Decatuar 1920-1921) Chicago (1921-1922) Changed name to Bears New York Giants (1925-present), which was a different team than the Brickley's Giants from New York that folded in 1921. Philadelphia Eagles (1932-present) The Redskins (Boston 1932-1937) DC (1937-present) 8. Steelers packers have met 35 times, with GB winning 21 of those matchups. In the last nine games the Steelers have won the past 7. Bonus: Paxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BendMeOver Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 ClevelandFanForLife um, the idea of these threads are not to look up the answers and copy and paste them. thanks for trying though. Nothing I wrote was cut and pasted, nor will you find anything written on the internet in the exact same wording I used. Much of the information is from my memory either of the steelers or of the research I did to refute the Gipper in a previous thread. In specifics, I remember that John Bain "Jock" Sutherland, mainly because the name reminds me of Donald/Kiefer Sutherland and he lost to my most hated team the Philadelphia Eagles, in which a certain associate (shall we say) from the city I hate most in the world has reminded me of it from time to time. I believe its also on the Steelers History Video...but can't remember. Bulldogs I knew nothing of until I researched it...kept the name of the owner of the Indians handy to further agrue against combining Akron/Canton into the Cleveland areas, then decided not to spend much more time on it. Made some additional notes on the Bulldogs history, but they are unimportant to this trivia section. Also when researching championships I looked into the Gip's points about merging different areas and started making a list of teams. At one point I was going to argue something else entirely about teams that moved cities and then didn't feel there was any substance there and I would just be being arbitarily argumentative. Pittsburgh/Cleveland history is easily wikied, but Green Bay-Pittsburgh history is not. To wit, I read it in a local newspaper the other day so it was fresh in my mind. Had a neighbor as a child who always liked to call people by thier first and middle names...remember Terry Paxton, during the Steelers games, so therefore I guessed Paxton. If I was going to cut/paste I would've aced the whole test in a steroid induced rage with bought off refs to prove that Pittsburghers are superior to Clevelanders in all ways. Cheers.

Note: the info I have is that the Eagles came in the same year as the Steelers, thus are no older. Also note: Many sources do not count the Canton Bulldogs and the Cleveland Bulldogs as the same franchise, but the fact is the "Bulldogs" did move from Canton to Cleveland and I am counting them as the same franchise and thus give you credit. However, because of you answer I must correct a question: There are 6 franchises older than the Steelers including the Packers, name the other 5. (the Eagles not being one of them, but being the same age) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Here is some Packer/Steeler trivia. Most, but not all related to their Super Bowl appearances: Final Answers: 1. Who is the Super Bowl Trophy named after and what team did he coach? Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers. A gimmee sure, but there may have been some here that didn't know that. 2. Who was the Steeler's coach in their very first playoff appearance? Jock Sutherland is correct. I believe he actually made a bigger name for himself as the Coach at Pitt. In fact I believe that if Paul Brown had a mentor it was Jock Sutherland. 3. The Packers last appeared in the Super Bowl in 1997 when they lost to the Broncos. What stadium was that game played in? Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. At least, that is what it was called then, not sure about now. 4. Besides the Packers what team has won 3 consecutive NFL Championships? (do not include Browns and AAFC years) Yes, those Canton/Cleveland Bulldogs of '22, '23, '24. I do think though that officially these are considered separate franchises because of ownership issues, but, Guy Chamberlain was the HC of both teams, and many of the players were the same, just the ownership group, apparently, was different. 5. What Green Bay Packers player appeared in the original "Longest Yard" in 1974? Ray Nitschke played one of the guards in this Bert Reynolds vehicle. To be fair to both of this year's SB teams, Bert did bring in Terry Bradshaw to appear in a couple or three of his movies, including Smokey and the Bandit II, Hooper, and Stroker Ace. 6. The Packers are one of 5 current NFL franchises that are older that the Steelers. What are the other 4 older franchises? In addition to the Packers you have the Decatur Staley/Chicago Bears, the Chicago/St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals, the NY Giants, the Portsmouth Spartans/Detroit Lions, and the Boston Braves/Boston/Washington Redskins. 7. What is the most points that either the Steelers or Packers have scored in a Super Bowl game? They have each scored 35 points as the most in a SB game. In SB 1 the Packers beat the Chiefs 35-10. In SB 13 the Steelers beat the Cowboys 35-31. In SB 31 the Packers beat the Pats 35-21. 8. What is the Packers vs. Steelers regular season head to head won-loss record? Packers lead 18-14. 9. What is the only AFC North franchise to have a winning record against the Packers? The Packers are 5-6 vs. the Bengals. but are 10-7 over the Browns, 18-14 over the Steelers and 3-1 vs. the Ravens. 10. It is either a Packer or a Steeler player that holds the Super Bowl record for the most sacks in a Super Bowl. Who is that player? Reggie White of the Packers with 3 sacks (he is tied with Darnell Dockett of the Cardinals for that record) 11. It is either a Packer or a Steeler player that holds the record for most Field Goals made in a Super Bowl. Who is that player? Don Chandler of the Packers had 4 in SB 2. He holds that record with Ray Wersching of the 49ers. 12. The first 2 "Super Bowls" that were won by the Packers were officially called the NFL/AFL World Championship Games, and the "Super Bowl" nickname was not invented yet. However the games did have another unofficial nickname coined by Pete Rozelle. What was that nickname? "The Big One". The name didn't stick. Bonus: What is Terry Bradshaw's middle name?

The Gipper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 You can read here about Jock Sutherland: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_Sutherland And here is a blurb from Paul Browns bio: Brown had achieved this success by implementing a system at Massillon based on techniques developed by Dr. John B. "Jock" Sutherland, head coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Sutherland had played professional football for the pioneer Massillon Tigers club when Brown was a boy and had gone on to success as a coach. Brown planned every phase of his program, detailing practice schedules, assigning assistant coaches (which he dubbed "position coaches") specific duties, and installing his entire system in Massillon's junior high schools so that players would already know his system when they reached high school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Rozelle and the "Super Bowl": 1. He Hated the Name “Super Bowl” The story of Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt suggesting the name “Super Bowl” after seeing his kids playing with a Super Ball is a familiar one, but what you might not know is that Rozelle hated the name. When he helped create the game, Rozelle wanted to call it the “AFL-NFL Championship Game,” which you’ve got to admit leaves something to be desired in the catchiness department. Owners then considered “the Big One,” before deciding that sounded a bit silly, too. Only then did Hunt propose the Super Bowl idea, which passed over Rozelle’s strong objections. Rozelle hated the name so much that during the first two Super Bowls he actually asked his publicists and reporters not to use the name. Rozelle later explained, “I thought it was corny. ‘Super’ was a word we used at Compton High.” Rozelle does, however, get credit for adding Roman numerals to the game’s name. He later explained that since the game was played in January following the fall season, simply referring to it with a year would be confusing. “It’s not an affectation, as some charge. It’s for clarification. When you say Super Bowl I, it helps you remember it as a 1967 game for the 1966 championship.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
