Re: Raiders/Chiefs
Another bizarre Chiefs-Raiders matchup was the '87 replacement game played at the L.A. Coliseum on Oct. 4, 1987. Players that weren't exactly in football shape had to compete in 105°F degree weather and the night before the game there was an earthquake. The Raiders defeated the Chiefs 35-17 in front...

Re: Worst Modern Team?
Interesting enough the Dallas Texans held the NFL's mythical belt title due to that upset of the Bears. Here's an explanation and a quick rundown I put together a few years ago. The belt is a fictitious lineal title. It can only be won by beating a team/franchise that holds the belt. The Rock Island...

Re: CFL questions
I noticed that Ottawa made it to the semifinals and they had a regular season record of 8-9-1. If they went on to win their next two games would their W-L-T record be the worst ever for a Grey Cup winner? Every year you're guaranteed to see teams with .500 or worse records in the playoffs. Right no...

Re: Most first-round draft picks on one team
I'm not sure about the record but the 1997 Oakland Raiders had 18 first-round picks on their roster.

Re: Dallas Cowboys media guides and Gamebooks to 1960
The Seahawks used to have most of their preseason gamebooks available as well. For some reason they took those down this year. The Texans don't have an extensive history but they've also posted all of their gamebooks and media guides. http://media.houstontexans.com/section_display.cfm?section_id=237...

Re: Milwaukee NFL franchise
Marvin Fishman, one of the original owners of the Milwaukee Bucks, wanted to bring an AFL franchise to Milwaukee. However, Vince Lombardi soon signed a lengthy lease agreement that gave the Packers exclusive pro football rights to County Stadium. Fishman continued to be a proponent of Milwaukee havi...

Re: Lousiest 3-QB trio for each franchise
I'd have to put JaMarcus Russell, Marc Wilson, and Dan Pastorini on the Raiders list. Dan McGwire should definitely be on the list. If you went by popular names it would definitely be Mirer, McGwire and Stouffer. Seattle has had some terrible backups and one game players, though. Mirer is definitely...

Re: Random NFL tidbits/stats that you find interesting...
The Raiders played and defeated the Broncos five times during the 1994 calendar year. Three regular season games, one playoff game, and a preseason game played in Barcelona, Spain.
