14 is close, but not correct.


ONE of those three players you mentioned was the 1st pick.

Just got here and I know it’s John Johnson. 

I went to some games at the old Cleveland Arena.

Read a good book recently by Terry Pluto about those early years and up through the Price/Daugherty/Harper era ......


The Cleveland arena was so dumpy that visiting players walked back across the street to their hotel to take their showers after the game.

Cavs started 0-15. Got 1st win against expansion TrailBlazers. 


At one point they were 1-27, ended up winning 15 games that year. 7 of the 15 were against the expansion Buffalo Braves.

Two questions for today:

- What 2011 sci-fi film features a dog named Bernie Kosar? (I never heard of this)

- What Browns 2003 second round draft pick set an NCAA-FBS record by scoring a touchdown in 27 consecutive games while playing for Virginia Tech?

I knew VT. Thought he was later in the draft though, like 4-5 round. And had no clue he was that dominant in college haha.

Interesting.  I will need to let the manufacturer of the game know they made a mistake.  Good job, iclfan2.   And Laley23 gets cred for saying that, also.

So did anyone ever hear of the movie I Am Number Four?


Here are two questions for this day:

- What Cleveland native threw 504 passes and punted 873 times before wrapping up his 16-year NFL career in 2005?

- What Cleveland radio pioneer hosted Sportsline from 1972 through 1987 before leaving for WFAN in New York? (I was a big fan)
