    NO.  (SD was a powerhouse, but they only won 1 title...and lost like  4 other AFL titles).   1-4 in AFL title game.  Does that constitute a "dynasty"?

    I was a die hard NFL (BROWNS) fan back then hey just 1 year older than you -but- had a friend who was a bit "different" sports wise was an AFL fan plus the pirates, etc.  I do remember some just merged in with the NFL like Buffalo, Oakland and the Boston Patriots but I can't place another repeating champion.

    I do remember that they did have some high flying football which did attract fans......and Pete Rozelle.

    Guess Buffalo and ???? Oakland.

    GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

    I will give that to you.  He didn't have one of the losing records, but he did have an 8-8 record in 1981 before winning it in  1982.

    Two more  sub .500 teams  left  who went on to become SB Champs the next year.

    Hint:  both in 21st century

    Three other .500 teams

    Hint:  These 3 also all won their SB in the 2000s 

    To put it this way:   Prior to 1999  only two previous SB winners went from  .500 or worse to win a Super Bowl.  Since 1999 (Rams)    6 teams went from  .500 or below to win SB the next year. 

    Free agency a factor?

    Here is today's trivia question.

    Preface:  Pro Football Reference has a statistic, for all players, but for now we will just deal with Quarterbacks. That stat is called the Hall of Fame Monitor. It supposedly measure a person's  HOF credentials, based on various factors: Pro Bowls/All Pros/Championships and a variety of statistical measurement.   There is obviously debate here and elsewhere about some of these QBs  HOF credentials.  The question is:

    Name the Top 15 QBs who ARE  HOF eligible that have NOT been inducted into the HOF who you think would be on this list.  (note: exclude active players, and those retired yet not yet eligible like Peyton Manning;  also note: only deals with players in the league since 1955)

    I’d have to say Randall Cunningham tops my list. 

    Phil Simms next.

    and then hometown love for Bernie- he had a 4-5 year period of mostly brilliance at the position.
