Gips,
Nobody ignores thread titles more than you do. You've closed countless threads I've started with countless spats with people about stuff that had zero to do with the subject heading you took hostage. You do it to others all the time as well. I've never said anything to you about it until you're asking for a golden rule you never give others in here.
Not only that, you'll give 30 replies in a row to different people (many off topic) while paying no care whatsoever to the intended discussion of the OP or the ruin of it. You, of all people, should be able to consolidate your points into 1 or 2 replies tops. You're a smart dude; but if I see 15 posts in a row by you - I've lost interest. I'll guarantee others have too. Not saying that to be mean my man, but since you're giving advice to me - I'm sure you're willing to take some back here.
People can still answer your trivia about other teams besides the Browns in the questions after #1. As for your first question that had to do with Paul Brown (as already answered in another thread debunking the Joe Lewis theory), there was some collateral discussion about Paul Brown in here if you read what was written.

The Answers
1. What team is possibly named for a boxer?
The Cleveland Browns. No more need be said.
2. What team got its name as a result of certain influences from the ancient Greeks?
The Tennessee Titans. Nashville has been called the Athens of the South. They even have a full scale replica of The Parthenon there. Titans were mythical beings (Gods or Godlike) from Greek mythology. (or....Dune mythology, if you are into that)
3. What team got its name, essentially in homage to a person named Gasparilla?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gasparilla was a Spanish Pirate who raided up and down the west coast of Florida, and yes, the team was named as an homage to him.
4. What team is named after the Fordham College team?
The Fordham Rams (Cleveland/LA/St.Louis/LA)
5. What team was named to encourage the use of a credit card?
The Chargers. Barron Conrad Hilton...the hotel guy obviously, also had his fingers into the banking/charge card game. He was a principal owner of Carte Blanche...and that is why the team got its name. (not from horses or soldiers etc.)
6. What team was named after the New Deal's National Recovery Administration's logo?
The Eagle was the logo of that organization.
7. What team was named due to its location between two transportation hubs?
The Jets....who were the Titans, but when they moved from the Polo Grounds to Shea Stadium, the stadium was right over the common flight paths of both LaGuardia and Idlewild Airport...nka JFK.
8. What team was named, essentially, after a group of buildings?
The Giants. The NY football Giants were actually named after the NY baseball Giants, but they got there name from the tall buildings in NYC/Manhattan
9. What team is named for both a song and for the date on which the franchise was awarded to the city?
The Saints go Marching In...and they came marching into the NFL on November 1st....All Saints Day, which was the day the city was awarded an NFL expansion franchise. (Even if the date of the award of the franchise was different, they probably still would have been the Saints because of the song)
10. What team is named after the nickname for the City's Mayor who was instrumental in bringing the team to that city?
The Kansas City Chiefs.... The Dallas Texans, owned by Lamar Hunt, was going to move out of Dallas to get away from the Cowboys. They had several cities they were considering (including Miami), but the Mayor of Kansas City H. Roe "Chief" Bartle, conviced Hunt to move his team there. He did, and Hunt named the team after the Mayor.
11. What team is named for a company that distributed canned meat?
The Green Bay Packers. Curly Lambeau actually did manual labor for the Indian Packing Company...who packed canned meats. So he called the team after the job he used to have.
12. What team is named for an entertainer?
The Buffalo Bills. William "Buffalo Bill" Cody....who was a frontiersman in his youth, became a purveyor of Wild West Shows...where he gained most of his fame. It was all entertainment. His shows had a number of famous people "act" in his shows, including Sitting Bull and Frank James, Cole Younger, Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane. My brother used to live in Cody Wyo., named after him. I have stayed at the Irma hotel there, named for his daughter. In the dining room/bar, there is a huge mahogany back bar presented to Cody by Queen Victoria.
13. What team is named for a poem?
The Ravens.....Nevermore.
14. What team is named for a color? Hint: not The Browns.
The Cardinals. The Chicago Cardinals were named for the color of their original uniforms, which were cardinal red, which were hand me downs from the football team of the University of Chicago....not after the bird, though clearly, later the team took on the image of the bird as their logo.
