Berea and Hiram yes....but per my source they never trained at CWRU...or JC

Might not have been "camp" at WRU, but the Browns did practice there once upon a time.

 

12. Bill Belichick just won his 4th championship as a HC. Name all the other coaches in NFL history who have won 4 or more titles.

NFL??? Halas, Lombardi, Noll, Landry

AFL addition, I believe, would be Hank Stram... but neither AFL nor AAFC history is "NFL history".

Stram is not right....he only won 2 titles.....1962 with Dallas Texans, 1969 with Chiefs fka Texans........And yes, I should have said Pro Football history, not NFL history.....though hint: the two not named yet did win all their titles in the NFL...not one of the offshoots.

 

Also....it is possible that at one time the Browns did go to CWRU for their in season practices before the Berea facility was built. But that is not listed as one of their summer training camp sites.

Here is a set of trivia, with the first few dealing with training camp locations:

5. The Browns selected the only players from this school taken in the entire 2015 draft from which Power 5 conference school?

Northwestern

No....two players were take from NW...Campbell by Browns and another by another team

 

 

lol... looked like you could use a hand so I checked...

The "another by another" was Trevor Siemian (QB) by Denver.

 

Maybe I am wrong. It wasn't listed that way. I think it just said "Houston Texans Training Facility". Maybe that is the stadium. It sounded like an alternative site.

The Texans' training facility is adjacent to Reliant Stadium... photo by Arian Foster...

Yup... Stram did not win four, but he did win three AFL titles plus one SB. In '66 he won the AFL, but lost to GB in SB-I.

 

Titles in the SB era, but prior to merger, have real "can-of-worms" potential.

Well, I nor any authortative source that I know count the AFL or NFL titles won by those teams that went on to lose the SB between the years 1966-1969 as actual titles. Those are tantamount to AFC/NFC conference title games won by a team that went on to lose the Super Bowl. I don't see any can of worms. Chiefs/Raiders/Colts/Vikings don't get to count those as titles. You win your last game or you don't. They didn't.

 

And I will go with the Texans as training at their stadium.....so that makes 5.....one more team is similar then.

Can we get a check on the questions that are still open?

I basically just did that, but here it is again:

 

1. The Browns have held their training camp in their history at Berea, Kent St., Hiram, Lakeland CC, plus one other location. Name it.

Answered by Canton Mike: BGSU

2. Four teams hold their training camp at their own Stadium: Bengals/Cards/Pats, plus one other team. Name it.

Make it 5 to include Texans....one more left

3. One team holds it training camp at a former US Govt. atomic bomb shelter site. Name team and site.

6. A. What player was the "most productive" player in the league per PFR in 2014. It was not Aaron Rodgers.

6B. What player had the most productive year in history per PFR?

9. Who was the first person in the NFL to gain 100 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving in the same game?

10. What was the last year that teams on average per game scored more TDs rushing than receiving?

11. The 6 coaches with the highest "over .500" winning record in history include Don Shula, George Halas, Paul Brown, Bill Belichick and Tom Landry.....who is the 6th coach?

12. Seven coaches in history have won 4 or more titles including Belichick, Halas, Lombardi, Brown and Noll. Who were the other two? Note the word: history.

Well... as long as you admit you are not an authoritative source... ;)

 

Personally while I would not double count a pre-merger league and SB victory in the same season, I have trouble discounting the league championship of the SB loser.

By that logic then you must believe that every team that won an AFC or NFC conference "championship game" but lost the Super Bowl must then be awarded a championship. No.

Not at all... Big difference between "L's" and "C's".
