    Fuyuck off arsebag.   Are you also a holocaust denier?   Do you think the south won the civil war. The fuyucking facts are the fuyucking facts.  The AAFC was a better league at the time than the NFL.

    Do you actually know why the NFL does not want to recognize the AAFC?   Even when every single other entity does? Do you know the fact surrounding that situation?

    It was pure resentment and jealousy on the part of Bert Bell....then NFL commissioner AND owner of the Philadelphia Eagles....the defending NFL champs who got there asses stomped by the Browns in the first game played.  He got embarassed by his team's arse kicking...and the proclaimed in a snit....."we are not going to recognize the previous accomplishment of AAFC teams".    It was a pure petty and vindictive move.

    So...now you have been educated about that.  It was a pure venal matter

    And as I said....every reputable entity other than them does "recognize" it.   The Pro Football HOF, the Sporting News....I don't know, all of them...name your favorite.

    No matter what mumbo jumbo you use to rationalize it the NFL does not and will never recognize the AAFC titles.

    And it does not matter what the NFL does.   They are not the keeper of Football History recognition or approval. They are actually perhaps the least authoritative source on the subject.  I mean...that would be like saying that the Trump White House is the only approved source of news.

    No, you are seeing them the way you want. He used his hands AND forced the receiver out.

    No, ..he didn't ..you just want it to be that way.

    I will all but guarantee that you know more law than I, and I know more football rules than you.

    What makes you think that?  Prove your credentials.

    It's obvious you aren't going to change your view of the play no matter what is said, and I KNOW the rule, so instead of arguing I will just let it go and you can go ahead and think you are correct. It's not like the other 95% of people who think they "know" the rules and actually just just formulate an opinion are any different.

    Good day and God bless 

    You can know the rules upside down and sideways......that does not mean that you are any better at applying them to the facts than any Joe on the street. I don't change my view of the play....because I VIEWED the play.  From what I saw....your statement earlier....of the rule....absolutely  applies...the DB ran with the receiver and used his momentum against him.   The fact...the view as I saw it...matched your statement of the rule precisely.

    Now Texas AG says that he has seen a different camera angle of the play.....Show me that...and if I see something different...I can be willing to change my mind.   But you must provide your evidence.

    You are just some guy who thinks he knows everything about everything. Ghoolieesque. 

    I can use my knowledge of being involved in the game for a good amount of time vs that of a fan. Or I can use the knowledge of many who played the game at an elite level for year or the eyes of some guy on a message board.

    See there is a HUGE difference in how people involved in the game watches and sees a game vs that of a fan. Not saying that either way is better, heck it may even be fun to watch a game as strictly a fan, but it is what it is.

    Either way, you can have your opinion and that is perfectly fine. But I am not going to go back and forth over something irrevalent because something thinks something.

    You claim you know the NFL rules backword an forward.  And that you have qualifications that evidence that your experience in the game is OH so much more than mine.  So...yes...prove your claim.

    You are just some guy who thinks he knows everything about everything. Ghoolieesque. 

    Not at all. I just know what I see and hear.  So far, I see nor hear nothing from you that evidences your claim of this tremendous knowledge of the game....and its rules.

    Well...OK, you claim that you have knowledge from being involved in the game. Yet you provide no such information.

    Beyond that, I don't care how much you may have been involved in the game....unless I see something different from another angle...your eyesight is NO better than mine. You can see that play no better than I can.

    Your own statement makes you sound young and stupid.  Are you young...or just stupid.  History is history.  And the NFL is the least credible entity when it comes to history.

    You do know that we fought a Revolution to be free from England who had colonized us.  Or, do you want to deny that history.  And why on Earth do you feel proud about sounding like a Steeler fan who thinks the Earth was created in 1972?

  • Sorry your argument doesn't hold water. Ask yourself as a lawyer if you could make a case in which you could force the NFL to recognize the browns' AAFC titles. I think we both know the answer to that.

    I don't have a driving need to be right.   I am simply almost always right because I either know things...or have this amazing resource at my disposal to look things up, so that I get them right. I do research...and lo an behold...I get answers from my research.

    And....everybody actually recognizes the AAFC titles except one single entity....and I educated you on why that was. (but you are apparently not smart enough to listen and to learn). 

    And...what, do you think you are being coy? by saying that the AAFC are not historical "NFL" titles?   Well, no shite Sherlock (yes...and Englishism to avoid the autocorrect).   But they ARE historical titles.

    By the way...those AAFC titles were won by a team called the Cleveland Browns.   Ever hear of them?  Ever learn any history about them?  Or does that all come as a surprise to you.   But, be happy....even if you haven't...others have done their research and know about them and their history. You know, like authoritative sources.  Say...the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  The Sporting News.  Any and every source on earth..but one in fact.

  • By the way whatever legal wrangling might have been done, the team that won those 4 NFL titles currently resides in Baltimore. What the team in Cleveland is doing is wearing a skin suit like buffalo bill in silence of the lambs and pretending to be the Cleveland Browns.

    And really if the AAFC was so superior why were only 3 teams admitted to the nfl? - key word, admitted not merged like the AFL was, and one of those teams folded. True the other two teams had great runs - the browns immediately and then never again...and the 49ers 30 years later but still. It was a different league and it never merged with the NFL.

    Actually...it did, because you again....got your facts wrong.  Now is your opportunity to listen and learn.

     It was a merger....though not a "complete" merger...as was the case with the AFL a decade or so later.  

    Those 3 teams were merged into the NFL as teams....but FYI...the other AFL teams merged into NFL teams.   Believe it or not...the Cleveland Browns actually merged with the AAFC Buffalo Bills.    The LA Dons merged with the LA Rams.  Etc.   But since I don't want to type all this out, I will just paste the information on here....so you can learn:

     

     
     AAFC–NFL merger 
     
    Save

    The 1950 NFL season was the 31st regular seasonof the National Football League. The merger with the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) expanded the league to 13 teams. Meanwhile, television brought a new era to the game. The Los Angeles Rams became the first NFL team to have all of its games – both home and away – televised. The Washington Redskins became the second team to put their games on TV. Other teams arranged to have selected games televised.

    The AAFC–NFL merger

    The NFL and the AAFC merged prior to the season, announced on December 9, 1949.[1] [2] Three AAFC teams — Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, and Baltimore Colts — joined the NFL intact. The players of the former AAFC New York Yankees team were divided up between theNew York Giants and the New York Bulldogs (who changed their name toNew York Yanks), the Los Angeles Dons and Los Angeles Rams merged, and a portion of the AAFC Buffalo Bills was absorbed into the Browns organization. A special draft was then held by the league's 13 teams to allocate the rest of the AAFC players.

    The 13 teams were realigned into the American and National conferences, which lasted for three seasons. The merged league briefly flirted with the name "National-American Football League",[1] [2] but restored the name "National Football League" a few months later. Under the alignment, both conferences had a team in New York and Chicago. The "American Conference" (formerly the Eastern Division) had six teams including the Giants and the Cardinals, and the "National Conference" (the old Western Division) had seven teams including the Yanks and the Bears, as well as the Baltimore Colts.

    Baltimore was declared a "swing team" and played one game against each of the other 12 NFL clubs. The original intent of the merger was to have the popular Cleveland Browns serve as this team for two years to equally help gate receipts throughout the league, however, this was refused point blank by Paul Brown. Over a 13-week season, one team was idle each week while the other 12 met in the six scheduled games. Each team played a home-and-away game against the other five teams in their conference, one game outside the conference, and one game against Baltimore over the course of a 12-game schedule.

    The league also established the Pro Bowl in the 1950 season. Though the league had attempted an all-star game annually between 1938 and 1942, it had cancelled the game because of World War II and did not revive it when the war ended. Unlike the previous all-star game format, which pitted the league's most recent champion against the league's best all-stars, the Pro Bowl would pit two all-star teams, one from each conference, against each other.

    Also, the 1950 season saw the first game played outside the United States when the New York Giants played the Ottawa Rough Riders of theInterprovincial Rugby Football Union in an exhibition match on August 12. The Giants and Rough Riders would repeat the feat in 1951; the Giants handily won both games.

    Major rule changes
    • The free substitution rule (any or all of the players may be replaced by substitutes after any play) was restored on a permanent basis. This change paved the way for player specialization in pro football, including three separate units for each team: offensive team, defensive team, and special teams.
    • If a backwards pass or fumble goes out of bounds before it is recovered, the team that had control of the ball last maintains possession.
    Regular season highlights
    • Week One The opening game of the 1950 NFL season was a matchup between the defending champions of the AAFC and the NFL, theCleveland Browns and the Philadelphia Eagles, respectively. The teams had never met prior to September 16, 1950, and a crowd of 71,237 turned out in Philadelphia. The Browns won 35–10. The First Fifty Years, a 1969 book that chronicles the first half-century of the NFL, listed the game as one of "Ten [Games] That Mattered" in bringing nationwide prestige to the league.[3]
    • In Week Three (October 1), the New York Giants handed the Browns their first shutout ever, winning 6–0 in Cleveland while grounding Otto Graham's passing attack.
    • In Week Five (October 15), the Steelers beat the Giants 17–6 at the Polo Grounds, knocking them out of the American Conference lead. The other New York team, the Yanks, had a share of the lead in the National Conference after a 29–24 win in Yankee Stadium over the 49ers, but only 5,740 fans turned out to watch.
    • The Browns-Giants rematch took place on October 22 in Week Six in New York, and the Giants won again, 17–13. In the west, the Coltsscored four touchdowns against the Rams, but the Rams had ten in a 70–27 blowout.
    • Los Angeles had a 65–24 win over Detroit in Week Seven (October 29), which saw the Eagles reclaim the lead in their conference with a 35–3 win over Washington and the Giants' 17–3 loss to the Cardinals. In the other New York-Chicago game, the Yanks raised their record to 6–1–0 with a 38–27 win over the Bears.
    • The Yanks were idle in Week Eight (November 6), in which field goals played a prominent role. Pittsburgh's Joe Geri booted all the points in the Steelers' 9–7 win over the Eagles, and the Giants' Ray Poole made a 40-yard kick with 0:04 left to beat Washington 24–21. The Browns regained the lead of the American conference in a 10–7 win over the Cards, with the margin being a Lou Groza field goal.
    • In Week Nine (November 13), the New York Yanks lost their rematch with the Bears, 28–20, putting both teams at 6–2, while the Rams took the lead in the National with a 45–7 win over Green Bay. Meanwhile, former AAFC teams Cleveland and San Francisco met for the first time in the NFL, with the Browns winning 34–17 to stay in front in the American.
    • A crowd of 42,673 turned out at Yankee Stadium to watch the New York Yanks, who lost to the Rams 43–35 in Week Ten (November 20), as L.A. and Cleveland kept their leads.
    • The big game of Week Eleven on November 27 was in Chicago, where the Bears took a 24–0 lead over the Rams on the way to a 24–14 win, and a half game lead (8–2 vs. 8–3) over them in the National Conference. Cleveland had a bye week, and the Giants 7–3 win over the Eagles tied them with the Browns in the American, with 8–2 records.
    • On December 3, 1950, all six of the Week Twelve games had significance. Taunted as a team that couldn't win a game without passing, the Cleveland Browns won again against the Eagles, 13–7, this time without Otto Graham attempting a pass. There were 17 punt returns, 12 by Philadelphia, both records. In New York, George Taliaferro had a record 8 kickoff returns for the Yanks in a 51–7 loss to the Giants. Both the Browns and Giants stayed tied in the American Conference with records of 9–2–0. Bill Dudley of Washington returned a punt 96 yards for a touchdown in a 24–7 win over the Steelers. In the National Conference, Cloyce Box of Detroit had 302 yards receiving, one yard short of the NFL record, in a 45–21 win over Baltimore. Tom Fears had an NFL record 18 pass receptions for the Rams in a 51–14 win over Green Bay and a 9–3–0 record to lead the division. Meanwhile, the Bears were upset by the crosstown Cardinals, 20–10, dropping them to 8–3–0, a half game behind L.A.
    • In the final week, Week Thirteen, the Browns, Giants and Bears were all in must-win situations, while the Rams had finished their season at 9–3–0. The Bears, at 8–3–0, were tied 3–3 with the Lions after three quarters. George Blanda booted a 22-yard field goal and Chicago held on for a 6–3 win to give them a 9–3–0 record and a tie for the National Conference title with the Rams. The Browns and Giants were both at 9–2–0, and both were playing on the road. Cleveland handled Washington 45–21, while the Giants had to fight off numerous drives by Philadelphia to protect a 9–7 win. With ties for first place in both conferences, the NFL title game had to be delayed a week while an unprecedented four team playoff took place. The Giants and Browns would meet in Cleveland, while the Bears and the Rams would meet in Los Angeles.

    By the way whatever legal wrangling might have been done, the team that won those 4 NFL titles currently resides in Baltimore. What the team in Cleveland is doing is wearing a skin suit like buffalo bill in silence of the lambs and pretending to be the Cleveland Browns. It's possible to create a law that legally makes a transgender man a woman but they doesn't mean he really is.

    Now you are just demonstrating that you are just a stupid KHUNT....and unwilling to learn or worry about actual fact.  Very Trumpish of you.

    Gee whiz, gip, you're not arrogant and pretentious at all, buddy. Let's put it this way; you can't figure out how to stop your phone from doubling everything you say. Perhaps you don't know as much as you think you do.

    It is NOT arrogance or pretension.    It is purely education, knowledge, and accuracy.  Sorry that those things do not play a part in your life.
