The Gipper Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 From my perusal of the Hall of Fame website for my trivia and other threads I decided to also check to see which Dynasty had the most Hall of Famers. So I am putting that info down here. For purposes of this tabulation however I am excluding owners. Some people have been owners for 50 years or more, so I wanted this to specifically deal with just the era of the dynasty. Some coaches I know have lasted longer but I did want them in here. So, here is the list: 1960s Packers. 11 Hall of Famers: Vince Lombardi Herb Adderly Willie Davis Forrest Gregg Paul Hornung Henry Jordan Ray Nitschke Jim Ringo Bart Starr (Ringo Starr!!) Jim Taylor Willie Wood (also note from the 1960s Packers that Jerry Kramer...a 10 time finalist is not in, and that LB David Robinson is a Senior nominee this year) 1970s Steelers: 10 members Mel Bount Terry Bradshaw Joe Greene Jack Ham Franco Harris Jack Lambert Chuck Noll John Stallworth Lynn Swann Mike Webster 40s/50s Browns: 9 members Paul Brown Len Ford Frank Gatski Otto Graham Lou Groza Dante Lavelli Mike McCormack Marion Motley Bill Willis 1960s/70s Raiders: 9 members Fred Biletnikoff George Blanda Willie Brown Dave Caspar Ted Hendricks John Madden Jim Otto Art Shell Gene Upshaw (note: if I include Al Davis who coached for a short while they would have 10) 1970s Cowboys: 8 members Tony Dorsett Bob Hayes Tom Landry Bob Lilly Mel Renfro Roger Staubach Randy White Rayfield Wright 1950s/60 Colts: 7 members Weeb Ewbank Ray Berry Art Donovan Gino Marchetti Lenny Moore Jim Parker John Unitas 1970s Dolphins: 7 members Nick Buonticonti Larry Csonka Bob Griese Jim Langer Larry Little Don Shula Paul Warfield These are the ones with 7 or more members (though to be honest, I didn't go back to like the 30s Packers/Giants etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I note a bit of an oddity: the 1990s Bills, who lost all the Super Bowls, have more Hall of Famers (and may get another if Andre Reed makes it) than the 1990s Cowboys that beat them and won 3 of 4 SBs. Those Cowboys do have "the tripplets" with Aikman, Smith, and Irvin in, (and they had Deion Sanders for a few years) but that is it. Though they could get Larry Allen in.

The Gipper Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 So it's OK for use to peruse websites for your trivia............. But we are not allowed to peruse the same sites for the answers???????? No, you are not. That is the whole point of it being a quiz. Did you cheat on your tests in school? Do you not think the teacher used the course book to make up her/his quizzes. This trivia is supposed to be an honorable test of your knowledge. And fun for everyone. If you just look up the fucking answers then that defeats the purpose of it. YOU are welcome to look stuff up and propound your own trivia quizzes. And I will try to anwer them to the best of my ability....from the store of knowledge in my head, not by looking things up. I readily acknowledge that I look stuff up to form these trivia quizzes. I certainly have at times drawn many questions from my own memory...but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
