You got it. They won 2 in 1950. When I heard that on the radio I thought it was a joke. Thought those years they went to the AFC Championship that they would've had to win more than one.

1950 must have been a tie-breaker game, then championship. In the early years when the first place team went to the championship, they played a tie-breaker game if teams finished in a tie for first (like baseball does).

Jim Brown:


Had 59 games with 100+ yards rushing, of those 59 how many times did he go for 200+?

Unfortunately, the Paul Mcdonald and Willis Adams ones next to it are much more legible.

Well, just saw a Derrick Henry stat that gives the answer. So I’ll abstain from more guesses. I wasnt close though, that’s a hint,

Fun Fact, Brown is #1 all time in yards rushing average per game at 104.3, Walter Payton is second at 99.8

Here are my questions of the day:

- In 1955, what slugger hit the final 18 home runs of his career as a member of the Indians, bringing his Hall of Fame career total to 369? (hint: Heretic might know this one)

- In September of 1978, what former Cowboys and Redskins running back did the Browns coax out of retirement?


Bonus: What stalwart OCer is celebrating his 68th birthday today?

Calvin Hill is the RB.
I'll guess BRF is the Birthday Boy.

Three Cavaliers Questions:


1. Cavs were 1of 3 expansion teams in 1970, name the other 2.


2. Cavs began their first season with a losing streak of how many games?


3. Who was the Cavs very first draft pick (it wasn't Austin Carr)?
