AFL, NFL Super Bowl champs

I am trying to recall how many players won an AFL championship, an NFL championship before the merger and a Super Bowl.

I know Johnny Sample (59-59 Colts, 68Jets) won all three. I Know Weeb Ewbank did it as a coach (same teams as Sample).

Does anyone others?

Re: George Allen's Legacy as Redskin HC

I was watching the History of the Redskins on You Tube recently. During the part about George Allen, people like John Riggins were saying that Allen didn't want to win with all three phases of the game, basically (he didn't care about offense). To the people of this board, is that your take, or is ...

Re: The greatest AFL game ever played?

The Heidi game changed television network sports coverage, so it would have to be the most consequential AFL game of all time. That game was more consequential than even Super Bowl III. For me, the best game by a single AFL team was San Diego's championship performance in 1963. The Chargers did ever...

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”

What about the people who attended the Monday night game? Do they get their money back? That's an interesting question. In American auto racing, if an event goes one lap beyond halfway, it is considered an event. If rain comes any time after that and the event can't continue as an example, there is...

Re: Bills-Bengals game “no contest”

I’m going to express an unpopular opinion about all of this: The rest of the Bills players were being selfish for not finishing that game. They made the incident about themselves by deciding it was too much for them to proceed. At that point, Hamlin didn’t care if they played or not but uncounted t...

Re: Raiders claims about the Immaculate Reception

I've seen the same old films everyone else has seen. The ball was shoe top level or maybe even lower when Harris grabbed it. It looks like a catch to me. The bottom line is that it was ruled a catch by the officials on site and it goes down that way in history. The matter of what player touched the ...

Re: Sprinters in the NFL

Does anybody remember a guy named Ray Norton? He played for the 49ers for a couple of years. Norton was once one of the fastest men in the world. He ran a 9.3 100 yards in the US Olympic trials and made the 1960 US Olympic team. He didn't medal and he didn't do much in the NFL but he was an Olympia...
