The Gipper Posted May 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 And... I was alive to see... 0 out of 13... I was alive for 3 of them.....but I was only cognizant of the one in 1964. I was 12. (and only 2 and 3 for the other 2). Sunday December 27, 1964. Browns 27 Colts 0. Gary Collins catches 3 TD passes from Frank Ryan. It was blacked out locally, but the black and white rebroadcast of the game was aired the following Monday night. It got such good ratings that it is believed to have been the genesis of the concept of Monday Night Football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StinkHole Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Top 10 cities with the most championships. How could they have forgotten about Cleveland??? http://www.therichest.com/sports/top-10-u-s-cities-with-the-most-pro-sports-championships/9/ 1. NY 55 2. Bos 34..35 since the article was written 3. Chi 27 4. Det 22 5. LA 19 6. Phil 16 7. Pitt 14 8. St. Louis 13 9. GB 13 10. Bal 9 Baltimore should get the boot and Cleveland put in the 10 spot with 13 IMO. In the following link the numbers are a tad different with some cities, plus they don't include Baltimore instead add San Fran and Oakland as one city. Nevertheless another ranking that forgets all about Cleveland. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2011/06/06/top-10-cities-with-the-most-sports-championships Gipper is pretty good with this shit, maybe he can explain why Cleveland isn't on the list...maybe these cities have won in modern times I dunno. Now here's one that didn't forget about Cleveland. http://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/8-american-cities-with-the-most-miserable-sports-fans.html/?a=viewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, they should. The AAFC merged with the NFL just like the AFL (maybe they don't count AFL either...or the WHA or maybe the ABA....all of which I include). They are missing something....as I have NYC with 59, not 55. And Boston has 37, not 35. (they may not include Providence....my count is by market....and Boston and Providence constitute the same TV market.) And that may be the issue with Cleveland as well. I include a market.....and Akron and Canton are includable in the Cleveland market. These sources may not include these "Greater Cleveland" titles in with the Cleveland count. Note that I also include San Fran, San Jose, Oakland as one market. They may not do that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
