THE BROWNS BOARD

Trivia Questions and Answers


The Gipper

Recommended Posts

The Browns last won a Championship in 1964.    There have been 9 "Major League" teams who have gone longer than the Browns have since winning a title...or in a few cases, since coming into existence.  

A few hints/caveats regarding this question:   A.  Keep in mind that the franchise has had to be in existence since before 1964, so  teams created after that date do not count.  B. They are all  NFL/NBA/MLB  teams.  No NHL teams, so don't worry about those.  C. The fact is, most of the franchises that are part of the answer to this question have moved around since winning their last title, or since being formed, so keep that in mind also. 

Name these 9 teams. 

Answers: 

1. NFL Cardinals currently in Arizona.....last title won in Chicago 1947

2. Cleveland Indians.....1948

3. NBA Kings/Royals   currently in Sacramento....last title won in Rochester 1951

4. Detroit Lions.....1957

5. Atlanta Hawks....last title won in St. Louis  1957

6. Texas Rangers....no titles since beginning as Washington Senators in 1961

7. Minnesota Vikings....no titles since origin in 1961

8. Tennessee Titans....last title as AFL champions as Houston Oilers in 1961

9. Chargers.... last title as AFL champions as San Diego Chargers in 1963.

Then comes the Browns last title 1964;  Buffalo Bills, last title in AFL in 1965.  In 1964 there were only 6 NHL teams,  all 6 of those have won titles since 1964, though the Toronto Maple Leafs last title was in like 1966 or 1967.

Here is today's trivia question.

There are 32 franchises  in the NFL.   Of those 32,  10 of them have at sometime moved to a completely different city/region/market area.    

Note:  I am helping you here:     NEITHER the Cleveland Browns nor the Baltimore Ravens are a part of that.  The Browns franchise has NEVER moved.   So, you only have to pick the 10 out of the 30 other franchises.

Name  as many of those 10 teams as you can.

With that you might be the early winner...unless the Raiders do not count for 3 moves because they are just one franchise.

unless you get in your tardis and go way back as dutch mentioned those are the only teams i remember moving  because I hate it when teams leave their cities and no mike k.c or n.e have never been in a different city

Patriots, Chiefs, Texans, Titans. That's all I have & not at all sure about those.

Mike

 

Chiefs and Titans, yes.    Not Pats, not Texans.   Pats have stayed basically in Boston area, even if they moved out of Boston proper, so that is not considered a move to a new town.  And Texans were the Houston replacement for the Oilers, and they have not moved anywhere.

KC  certainly has been.  Franchise started in Dallas.   Won the 1962 AFL title there.   And see above for NE. 

By the way....one left.   One you need that tardis for.

Answers:

Raiders have moved from Oakland, to LA, back to Oakland, now to Las Vegas

Chargers have moved from LA  where they originated  to San Diego and now back to LA

Rams moved from Cleveland to LA to St. Louis and now back to LA

Cardinals have moved from Chicago to St. Louis to  Arizona

Chiefs moved from Dallas...where they were known as The Texans, to Kansas City

Bears moved from Decatur (Staleys)  to Chicago   (not the same market as Decatur is @ 200 miles from  Chicago

Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis

Lions moved from Portsmouth OH where they were known as the Spartans to Detroit

Titans move from Houston ...as the Oilers, to Tennessee (actually played in Memphis for a year before moving on to Nashville)

Redskins  originally from Boston, move to Washington DC

That means that 22 franchises have never move from their original markets (except perhaps temporarily because of some weather issue...like the Saints after Katrina....or because of stadium construction.) ...though yes, some have moved from like "downtown" to suburban areas in the same metro area:   Cowboys, Patriots, Jets/Giants, 49ers, and some others.

Yep the "Dallas" Cowboys should be called the Arlington Cowboys. Or Even the Ft. Worth Cowboys since they are closer to downtown Ft. Worth than they are to downtown Dallas.

Similarly the New England Patriots are closer to downtown Providence than they are to downtown Boston...but..they are still in the Boston area, and they at least changed their name.  Maybe you would prefer the Texas Cowboys....like the Texas Rangers.

Nah, we already have The Texans.
