  • The Orange Crush Defense was the 3–4 defense of the Denver Broncos during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The team adopted the 3–4 defense during the 1976 season, and the nickname "Orange Crush" for the team's defense was popularized early in the 1977 season by sportswriter/broadcaster Woody Paige.[1][2]

    The team's defensive unit derived the nickname from their orange home jerseys and a popular soft drink, Orange Crush.[3]

  • In case you don’t know the story of how the Seattle Seahawkssecondary became known at the Legion of Boom, strong safety Kam Chancellorexplained it Wednesday.


    “It was a radio interview,” Chancellor said. “The fans wanted to come up with a name for the group and we saw a bunch of names come across Twitter. None of them were catchy, but when we saw Legion of Boom, it jumped out.”


    Chancellor said he and other defensive backs -- Richard Sherman, Earl Thomasand Brandon Browner (now with the Patriots) -- liked that term.


    “Legion is like a vast army,’’ Chancellor said. “We just went with Legion of Boom and it kind of fits the description of our unit, our brotherhood of love, trust, honesty, respect. I think all those elements right there create the power in our group. It creates the talent and brings out the talent. It brings out everything in our group.”


  • n 1995, a group of hard-core Raiders fans had an idea – create a fan group clad in black that would eventually encompass all of Raider Nation. So in 1996, they purchased seats together in the end zone to create a section of the stadium where fans would stand, cheer, intimidate opposing teams and epitomize what it means to be a Raiders fan. Since that day, The Black Hole has represented the die-hard Raiders fans, the ones committed to their team win, lose or draw.


    The Black Hole unites Raiders fans worldwide. It is a family that represents the pride, tradition, and commitment of the Oakland Raiders, which is what truly makes The Black Hole Football’s Most Notorious Fans.


    The Black Hole is much more than Section 105 in O.co Coliseum; it is wherever you, the passionate Raiders fan, lives and breathes Silver and Black. The Black Hole is a state of mind.


    Positive fanaticism at it’s best, The Black Hole aims to reach out and join forces with all who bleed Silver and Black. With chapters both in the U.S. and abroad, The Black Hole promotes team spirit, community outreach, civic pride, and the ultimate family of fans.


  • The 1972 Dolphins defensive unit, called the No-Name Defense because Miami’s impressive offense received much more publicity, as well as Cowboys coach Tom Landry coining the phrase in an interview, was the league’s best that year. It was led by linebacker Nick Buoniconti, end Bill Stanfill, tackle Manny Fernandez, and safeties Dick Anderson and Jake Scott. In all, nine players—Csonka, Morris, Warfield, Little, Evans, Buoniconti, Stanfill, Anderson and Scott—were selected to the Pro Bowl, and Morrall, Stanfill and Anderson were named 1st team All-Pro.[1]

    Black Hole guys were just "random fans".

    Legion of Boom came from a "random fan twitter".

    Tom Landry made a random comment.

    Steel Curtain is just a random play on a different comment.

    Orange Crush made by a random reporter. (I would not be surprised to see a reporter come up with any of these names.....Gee...you think if Mary Kay Cabot came up with it that it would be any more valid?)

    Like I said, the only one that isn't random is America's Team...and as I said, the most pretentious of all.

  • This is NO RANDOM forum. This is the defacto website for anything Cleveland Browns related. It's much better than the actual ClevelandBrowns.com fan chat that they used to have. If there is a place on the internet that one can go to and get all the information that they need on the Browns... this is that website. 🙂

    I think that should be your new screen name....random fan. There is certainly little if any why or wherefore to anything you seem to say.

    Just negativity about anything at all. Perhaps a better name would be Goolie Jr.
