Re: Best-ever Rams team?
I still dont understand why an 12-1-1 Ram team had to go to a 9-4-1 Packer team in Milwaukee of all places, in 1967 ? Back in the day, the home field advantage was determined by a rotation system instead of the best record. For instance, in 1951, the 11-1 Cleveland Browns had to play the championsh...

Re: Great Teams, Great Years Book Series
I liked the Detroit Lions book in the Great Teams, Great Years series. Especially interesting to me was the chapter about the final game of the 1956 season between Detroit and the Chicago Bears (the Ed Meadows game). Unusual to have one of Detroit's losses included in their great games. There also w...

Re: Joe Theismann HOVG
Theismann would be fine by me. Also, Frank Ryan. Ryan wasn't so good in his last year as starting quarterback (1967) as he was battered with injuries. He was pretty good before that as he led the Browns to their first championship since the days of Otto Graham. Don't think that they would have won t...

Re: Disappointing title defenses
1957 Cleveland Browns. After leading the NFL in fewest points allowed that year, they got slaughtered in the championship game, 59 to 14, by the Detroit Lions. Actually, the Browns led their league in fewest points allowed in 10 out of 12 seasons, starting in 1946 and ending in 1957. About 3 days b...

Re: Browns Town: Twenty Famous Browns Talk Amongst Themselve
I agree, both books are excellent sources for the 1946-55 era. I used them for one of my own books. And while not Browns-specific, let's not forget Stuart Leuthner's Iron Men . Another great collection of first-person accounts of the game in the '50s. This is really ironic. I just ordered your book...

Browns Town: Twenty Famous Browns Talk Amongst Themselves
This book, by Alan Natali, came out in 2001. It is one of my favorite football books along with Andy Piascik's "The Best Show In Football." I love both of those books, but I am talking about Natali's book here. It was great to read things from guys like Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Dante Lavell...
