Odd game scenarios

[single wing]

Also as odd the NFL vs CFL preseason games with each half played under different rules.

I remember a 1986 Monday Night game between the Cowboys and Rams where police made Tom Landry leave the field during the game because the team had received a death threat made against him.

Landry was given a bulletproof vest, which he wore under his sweater and jacket. He returned to the field shortly after.

1982 Monday Night game - last game before the players' strike - between the Packers and Giants at Giants Stadium. The lights went out in the second quarter:

Later, that night, Lynn Dickey shows how a quarterback takes out a linebacker:

The Jets playing two exhibition games in a span of 48 hours in August 1976 because of a pending hurricane before the first contest--which pushed that game back two days.

The AAFC Browns playing the Brooklyn Dodgers on October 10, 1948, with kickoff at 8:30 p.m. and a crowd of 31,187 at Cleveland Stadium. At 1 p.m. that day, the Indians and Braves played in Game 5 of the World Series, which started at 1 p.m. and wasn't over until 3:40 p.m. That game drew a then-record crowd of 86,288.

Not one game, but two...On Aug, 25, 1939, the Packers and Pittsburgh Pirates played a doubleheader in Green Bay. The first game was a 7-7 tie but the Packers won the second game 17-0.

When I hear about incidents like this I always think some desperate gambler is in hot water

Well since the XFL cancelled the season the below empty stadium game will not occur

This Sunday's XFL Los Angeles at Seattle will be played in a empty stadium...
