12. Name those members of the "Steel Curtain" Dynasty that are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (do not include owners Art and Dan Rooney...which I just gave here, but do include the coach). Hint: 10 names
Got hung up on Defensive names via the Steel Curtain ref...
Bradshaw, Harris, Swan, the Center (who had the concussion syndrome issues...) and the other WR...
These are correct, though I don't give you credit if you don't give the names.
Fair enough... the other WR was Stallworth (had a Sr. moment) and pretty sure the Center's first name was Mike, but last name is just out of reach... somewhere on the other side of Stallworth..."When you have a shared vision it is a lot easier to make unpopular decisions." - Paul DePodesta "When you win, say nothing.

*= I don't want to answer questions about teams I hate
Karlis Missed -
I have been a follower of the Denver Broncos since I lived in Greeley and went to some of the preseason training camp practices back in the late 70's-early 80's. But I could not answer more than a couple of Trevia questions even though Aggie Von Miller plays there now and Aggie Gary Kubiac was John Elways's backup back in the day.That doesn't make me not a fan. It just means i don't care about trivia.
But I don't mind reading about it so I can learn a little more about Browns history. But ask me again tomorrow and I will have forgotten most of it by then.

Interim Trivia....for those not name Tourma: Here are the questions he did not answer. You newbies or oldies have a second chance:
1. Where did the Ravens rank on defense (yards) in their 2012 Super Bowl winning season?
They were hurt all year and I think they gave up alot of yards in the regular season when guys like Lewis / Reed / Suggs were out with injuries. I'm going to guess 23
2. Besides the Pats/Colts/Steelers what other team have the Ravens faced 3 times in postseason play?
I'm going to guess the Titans, I vividly remember Eddie George battling Ray Lewis in a hard fought playoff game so thats at least one. The Titans were good for a good stretch with McNair and made multiple playoffs.
4. When the Steelers finally won a postseason game after 39-40 years in the league, who did they beat?
I'll guess the Raiders since they were good in the period and would have been in the postseason alot.
5. A. Who was the last team the Steelers beat in a postseason game?
I'll guess San Diego
B. Who was the last team the Bengals beat in a postseason game?
(already got Browns/Ravens)
I'm thinking this has to be late 80s, Denver was in the postseason alot in that time period I'll guess the Broncos.
6. Who did Marvin Lewis replace as HC of the Bengals?
Mike? Shula... I feel like it was one of Don Shulas kids

12. Who were the other HOF players on the Steeler Curtain dynasty besides Blount/Bradshaw/Green/Ham/Harris/Lambert/Noll/Swann? (2 names)
Mike Webster is the HOF C you are thinking of. Died pennyless under a bridge, very tragic. I forget if OP confirmed but WR John Stallworth was the other I remember watching his speech.
13. Who were the other HOF players on the 40s/50s Browns besides Paul Brown/Otto/Groza/Lavelli/Motley? (4 names)
14. Besides Jim Brown, Groza, Warfield, and Hickerson, who was the other Hall of Fame player who played on the 1964 Browns?
15. Name the 2 HOF players that played at any time for the Bengals, and the 4 HOFers that played at some point for the Ravens.
Ravens: Ogden? i think, I remember they had that stud LT for years and I believe he has already been enshrined.

Historical Note:
There have actually been 4 NFL teams in NE Ohio that have gone by the name Indians. The original Cleveland Indians also were the Tigers for one year and played from 1920-1921. Then another Cleveland Indians team began play in 1923...but changed their name to The Bulldogs after the Canton Bulldogs went out. (absurd that a team would fold after winning 2 consecutive championships)
Then in 1931 a Cleveland Indians team played in the NFL for one year....but apparently lost its ownership group and folded.
Then there were the Oorang Indians who played out of Mansfield, Ohio...and were founded by Jim Thorpe. It was an all Native American team, and the "Oorang" was actually a corporate name that came from a dog Kennel.
Perhaps the most unusual team to ever play pro football.
