    Bob got 1,2, and 3 correct. On #8 only Kauric is correct. Mosely only kicked for a small portion of a season in which Matt Bahr got hurt. On #9 only Kelly and Schafrath were correct. And on 10 Hiram and Kent are correct.

            On #6, are you looking for winning percentage? Our record against those teams is outstanding.

            My only other guess would be vs. Atlanta then.

            #7- Denver?

                  Interim status on Trivia:

                  #s 1,2,3,6,7, and 8 have been correctly answered.

                  Here is what we have left:

                  4. $$ Modell had to pay in Attorney fees for Gries for losing that lawsuit

                  5. $$ Modell had to play to Cleveland in Attorney fees for losing that lawsuit.

                  9. Only 2 of the 12 Browns who made 5 Pro Bowls have been named: Kelly and Schafrath. There are 10 others.

                  10. Three of the 4 Browns college training camp sites have been named. There is one other.

                  Bonus: Browns record in postseason play (since 1950 only)

                        Mark Mosely came in for the end of the 1986 season when Bahr got hurt, but Bahr was still the primary kicker that year..
