4. Who is the only player drafted #1 overall in the AFL draft to make the PFHOF?

5. What is the last NFL franchise to go defunct?

The Dallas Texans who played in only the 1952 season. But fyi, a team going under was not that unusual even then. In the prior two years both the original Baltimore Colts franchise and the NY Yanks went belly up. But the Texans stopped that trend and no team has gone under since. And fyi, much of the players from that Dallas Texans teams were reconstituted to become the new Baltimore Colts, who began play in 1953.....and went on to win 2 straight titles in just 5 years, in 1958 and 1959.

6. The Steelers and the Browns have been members of the same division since 1950 (except for the Browns 3 inactive years). What one other team was also a member of the same division every year from 1950-1970?

The Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals. Also not that during that 20 year span, the NY Giants were in the same division for 18 or 19 of those years.

7. Name those QBs who throughout history have started games for the Browns and:

A. The Steelers: Mike Tomczak, Bill Nelsen, Len Dawson

B. The Ravens: Trent Dilfer, Eric Zeier, Vinny Testaverde. Zeier and Vinny had their contracts with the Browns assigned to the ravens.

C. The Bengals: NONE.

8. Since 1989, on 5 occasions NFL games have been postponed or moved due to Natural Consequences. Name those 5 natural causes and the 5 home teams affected by them:

1989 the SF 49ers game was moved to Stanford Stadium due to the Loma Prieta (aka World Series) Earthquake

1992 Hurricane Andrew cause the postponement of the Dolphins home game

2003 Wild fires in San Diego caused a Chargers game to be move to TempE AZ.

2005 Hurricane Katrina caused a number of Saints games to be moved to San Antonio and Baton Rouge

2010 A snowstorm that collapsed the HHH Metrodome roof cause the Vikings to move their game to the Univ. of Minnesota field

And, apparently there was a lightning/snow storm that cause postponement of an Eagles game.

9. What do Anthony Calvillo and Damon Allen got that Brett Favre ain't got?

More passing yards in the game of football. Calvillo just retired last year with 79,816 CFL passing yards. Damon Allen had 72, 381 passing yards in his CFL career. Brett Favre has 71,838 NFL passing yards.

FYI Warren Moon has a combined NFL/CFL 70,553 passing yards, 49,325 in the NFL.

Peyton Manning needs 6874 yards to tie 6875 to beat Favre for most NFL yards. If he plays at his recent level for 2 more years he should easily do that.

The other active QBs in the all time To 20 of the NFL in passing yards are Drew Brees at 51,081, Brady at 49,149 and Eli Manning at 35,467

10. Since the 1940s, a quarterback has "achieved" the distinction of having a 0.0 passer rating in a game 65 times......but note, on three occasions this 0-0 rating has been "achieved" in a Championship game. Name those 3 QBs who got this 0.0 rating in a championship game.

A. Tommy Thompson 1948 NFL title game vs. Chicago Cardinals has a 0.0. He went 2-12 for 7 yards and 2 Ints.....but guess what? He WON the game 7-0!

B. Otto Graham.....yep. OG was not infallible. 1953 NFL title game Browns vs. Lions Otto went 2-15 for 20 yards and 2 Ints......and did lose but only by a 17-16 score.

C. Craig Morton. SBXII (12). Broncos vs. Cowboys. Started the game and went 5-15 for 39 yards and FOUR interceptions. Needless to say, he was replaced at some point during the game.

Bonus: Of those 65 0.0 passer rated games, one person had the most with 3 of them. Name that QB.

Terry Bradshaw

Note this though: No QB has had a 0.0 game in the NFL since Chris Redman had one in 2007. So, the passing rule changes have benefitted the QBs greatly from that standpoint.

Ahhh... so you meant postponed not postponed...

On the other hand... yes, Philly... waaaaaaaaay back in 2010...

1. Canton McKinley yes, we had that one

4. Buck Bucannon (KC) Check

8. Fire - San Diego; Snow - Philly; Lightening - da Bears...

Check on the San Diego fires. No on Philly,.....and the Bears game was postponed for a while but resumed the same day, so I am not counting that.

I don't know high school names from up around there so I was just taking stabs.

I figured.

Since no one else seems to be taking stabs, I will add Dilfer (Ravens) and Bill Nelson (Steelers) to the QBs.

Check on both of these.....and that finishes that question

Rick Trocano played for both Browns and Steelers, but I don't know if ever saw the field, let alone start.

Another guy that played for both was Dick Shiner.....traded for Nelsen......but while Shiner started a few games with Peetown he never started for the Browns.
