OURYEAR#56 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I didn't know that Otto had so many records. The league needs to endorse it's players more. he did things on par with Babe Ruth. I didn't even know he coached the Skins right before Lombardi came. He won 10 champoionships in ten years!!! Unbelievable. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Well, he won 7 in ten years,, but the Browns went to the championship game in every year he played Arguably the greatest QB ever. And I completely agree,,, the NFL should do more to promote it's awesome history. The game hasn't changed all THAT much over the years.. it's still about blocking and tackling. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I love this quote from the AP. Otto Everett Graham Jr. began setting records on the first day of his life in Waukegan, Ill. He weighed 14 pounds, 12 ounces at birth -- the state record for largest male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. :notworthy OY you are correct in one way. The league as well as the players need to make it more commen to learn about the history of the NFL. I have a feeling that many of the young players today are not students of the game. The one thing I like the league more then the NBA and MLB is they don't put everything on the players. You root for teams in the NFL not players, which I agree with. Look at the NBA they put there players everywhere no one cares about the teams as much just the players. Greenbay vs Chicaco to me has more appeal now and in the future then Iverson vs McGrady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
