      5. Which NFL teams are named after specific persons.

      Browns (sort of), Patriots, Steelers, Texans, Raiders, Chiefs, Cowboys, Redskins, Saints, Buccaneers, Vikings, Packers, 49ers

      You name a lot of groups of people...but I am referring to one person., so, other than the Browns, NO. these would be more like "occupations".

                          TIL, New York is not the capital of New York.

                          Is there a good reason that this is the case for a load of places? Like, St Louis isn't the capital of Missouri, Seattle isn't the state capital of Washington etc. My buddy explained that Philly was the capital of the coutnry (or something) at the time, so Harrisburg became state capital of Pennsylvania. But there seems to be a theme of avoiding the big city as the state capital. Or am I imagining it?

                                      TIL, New York is not the capital of New York.

                                      Is there a good reason that this is the case for a load of places? Like, St Louis isn't the capital of Missouri, Seattle isn't the state capital of Washington etc. My buddy explained that Philly was the capital of the coutnry (or something) at the time, so Harrisburg became state capital of Pennsylvania. But there seems to be a theme of avoiding the big city as the state capital. Or am I imagining it?

                                      I don't think it is that so much...maybe in some cases. In a number of states they chose the biggest city on purpose. A lot of state capitals were chosen for their central location within the state...like Columbus.

                                          A horse of a kind suitable to be ridden in battle.

                                          Edit: Ungulates are actually large hoofed mammals which a Bill would be a part of. Possibly Steeler fans as well.

                                          Here's a link if you'd like to see for yourself:

                                          " Frank Leahy, picked the Chargers name when he purchased an AFL franchise for Los Angeles: “I liked it because they were yelling ‘charge’ and sounding the bugle at Dodgers Stadium and at USC games.” "

                                          Not technically named after the horse, I guess?

                                          Edit: Just checked the question, it's just asking for those that belong to the group, so I guess yours is good!
