Here is a set of trivia, the first few deal with money matters, the last bunch with All Decade teams as named by the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

Answers:

1. With Joe Flacco having just been awarded the highest contract in NFL history state Who was the first NFL player to sign a contract for a base salary of One Million Dollars?

It was OG Bruce Matthews. Imagine that. An OG being the first million dollar player. He apparently was worth it as he is now in the HOF.

Can you say Warmack?

2. Who was the first NFL player to make $100,000.00 in a season?

Red Grange, in 1926. Pretty incredible considering that even into the 50s average NFL salaries were only around $6,000.00.

3. Which team, in the 1950s, counted "free beer" after games as part of a players compensation package?

The Baltimore Colts. When I read this it was reminiscent of the scene in 8 Men Out where Charles Comiskey promised bonuses to the White Sox if they won the World Series. There bonus was just a few bottles of champagne that the team had to share. The Colt didn't rebel, they won two NFL titles. Musta been the free beer. At least Artie Donovan would have claimed that.

4. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1930s All Decade Team?

Arnie Herber...who was the guy throwing to Don Hutson, Dutch Clark and Cecil Isbell

5. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1940s All Decade Team?

Sammy Baugh, Bob Waterfield, and Sid Luckman

6. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1950s All Decade Team?

7. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1960s All Decade Team?

8. Who were the 3 Quarterbacks named to the 1970s All Decade Team?

Terry Bradshaw, Roger Staubach, and Ken Stabler.

9. For some reason, beginning in th 1980s they only began naming 2 QBs. Who were the 2 QBs named to the 1980s All Decade Team?

Joe Montana and Dan Fouts

John Elway and Brett Favre

11. Who were the two QBs named to the 2000s All Decade Team?

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

12. Who is the only member of the Cleveland Browns named to the 2000s All Decade Team?

Josh Cribbs, Special Teamer

13. No Browns were named to the All 90s team. Who were the 2 Cleveland Browns named to the 1980s All Decade Team?

Ozzie Newsome and Frank Minnifield (did anyone think Minnifield was better than Hanford Dixon?)

14. Who were the only 2 players to have played for the Browns who made the 1970s All Decade Team.

Paul Warfield...who only played for the Browns for 2 years at the end of his career in the 70s.

Joe Delamelleure...who didn't play for the Browns in the 70s. He joined in the Browns in the 80s.

15. What 4 Cleveland Browns players made the 1960s All Decade Team?

Jim Brown

Gene Hickerson

Leroy Kelly

Gary Collins

All these All Decades Browns players made the HOF except Cribbs, Minnifield and Collins
