Eagles happened to take over in Philly after YJs went defunct. So that answer is technically wrong. And while the WTFs were the Redskins....before they were the Redskins they had another name. Plus there is one other you are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did play soccer & football just like Georgetown, Texas soccer & football player Mason Crosby of the GB Packers after making 1st Team AA as a kicker at Colorado. I saw him kick one night in Georgetown and on about a 40 yd. FG the ball went so far that it left the lights into the darkness out of the back of the open stadium. Never seen anything like it before or since on the HS level. It was one of those plays where you stand up and go, "Holy Shit!

The Gipper Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here is today's Trivia Question: Tomorrow we play the Titans......but if you recall, the Titans used to be known as The Oilers. I count at least 6 other current NFL teams that at one point were known by another "nickname". Name as many of these as you can. Answers: all given: Chiefs fka Dallas Texans Bears were Staleys for like 2 years Lions were Spartans in Portsmouth Steelers began as Pirates Jets began as Titans WTFs began as Braves in Boston, then became Redskins. ...only current team that I am aware of that has been through 3 names Then there are the Tennessee Titans that were the Houston Oilers (they did remain the Oilers for like 2 years after moving.) Who here thinks that the current team in Houston should go back to being known as the Oilers? Before the Texans were created, the city of Houston did go to Bud Adams...owner of the Titans, and ask if they could have the name Oilers. Either he flat out refused, or that old greedy fucking asshole wanted like 25 million for the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well, in researching....it seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Bud Adams daughter, Amy Adams Strunk, is apparently as big of a Khunt about the Oilers name as her old greedy bastard piece of shit of a dad was: It won’t happen. Amy Adams Strunk—daughter of Bud Adams, the man who founded the Oilers in 1960 and moved them to Nashville in 1997—told Titans beat reporter Paul Kuharsky that the prospect of the Texans playing in Oilers uniforms wasn’t even up for discussion. “Very interesting, except the Oilers don’t have anything to do with the Texans,” she said. “So that’s a hard no.” Strunk’s statement is correct from a legal perspective. The Texans and Titans are distinct businesses, each controlling their own intellectual property and trademarks. But what she said is also absurd. Of course the Oilers have something to do with the Texans—they’re both NFL franchises that have called the same city home. The people of Houston celebrated triumphs and mourned failures with each, investing emotionally and buying heaps of team logo-emblazoned merchandise along the way.

The Browns didn't start playing in the AFC until 1970. So from 1950-1969 they were playing teams that make up the current NFC, with the exception of the Steelers and Colts.
