1. The NFL started rather modestly in 1920, and many teams have come and gone since. Two teams remain from the league's origin. What are the oldest teams in the NFL?

2. This Hall of Famer was sacked for a safety in each of his first three games as a pro.

3. This guy was the first player to gain 1000 yards rushing AND receiving in the same season. Coincidently, every team he played on made it to the post season.

4. The Washington Redskins were first known as...

"and he was no wussy kicker either"

 

[Cerberus666]

dude, re-read number 5, it's not a kicker. Bob got it with bruce matthews.

 

[Cerberus666]

"and he was no wussy kicker either"

meaning he wasn't a kicker period. he played every game at a REAL position.

 

[islandman]

Bruce Matthews? So what's the "wussy kicker" alluding to?

 

[islandman]

meaning he wasn't a kicker period. he played every game at a REAL position.

ah. understood. thanks.

 

[freakygirl]

Yep.. 5 is Bruce Matthews. Hasn't he played close to 300 straight games?

 

[Cerberus666]

Bruce Matthews? So what's the "wussy kicker" alluding to?

it's alluding to the fact that it wasn't a kicker. it's quite easy for a kicker to go through a career injury free. but for a lineman this is an incredible feat. real players. real positions.

 

[Cerberus666]

ok glad we cleared that up. carry on.
