I saw John Unitas play when I was a kid. I did appreciate his.....but I was also happy to see the Browns beat him.

Damn I'm gettin' old. One of my best friends (my age) in college played with Johnny U and Earl Morrall, who took over for the injured U-man and won the '71 Superbowl

I'm too lazy to look it up, but wasn't Earl Morrall famous for sporting that flat-top haircut?

Both he and Unitas had them.

Thanks Gip, my feeble mind totally forgot about Johnny U having a flat top as well.

Here's some useless knowledge. . .

Of the 4 remaining QB's, 3 of them were taken as the first overall pick in the draft.

If New England doesn't win I hope it's the Panthers that do. To be frank I'm just glad to be rid of the seahawks and steelers. Those were two teams I absolutely couldn't stomach winning again. Both have absolutely insufferable fanbases and I take no pity on the Ohioans that frontrun for the Steelers.

I hate Seattle only because of Pete Carroll, and how he just walked away from USC in tough times.

The Seahawk fan base isn't really that bad- they actually admire us Browns fans (at least on the forum http://www.seahawks.net).

I don't have any angst towards Carolina or Arizona. I am a big fan of Larry Fitzgerald so I lean towards the Cardinals.

AFC-wise, I'm still not happy about our blown games against the Broncos. Like others wrote, I have nothing against Peyton, but when he put that Broncos jersey on, sorry I can't get behind that at all. Tough to even fathom rooting for NE, but that's where I am now.

Hell so did I back then... or at least a close cousin of the flattop... It was called a butch or a "Crew Cut".

Even used a stick of "Butch Wax"... a specialty, ethnic product for white kids...

I should have used that in my trivia quiz. I didn't......but thanks for the data.

And it is not useless.....it is a very sharp illustration of the need to get a franchise QB....and that often that #1 pick is the place....if the right guy is there.
