The Cleveland Rams were the FIRST major professional team to leave a city after winning a championship a YEAR later, the Dallas Texans were the second. You know them as the Kansas City Chiefs. Here’s why.

Question. Who messed up last week thinking that the Cleveland Rams were the only professional franchise to move after winning a championship? This guy! Yes the Cleveland Rams were first, but the Dallas Texans also did it in 1962 before they became the Kansas City Chiefs the next year. One thing about the Rams though, there was a lot of innovation about this team, and they made it OK for the NFL to move out west.

Question. Who is the only professional sports franchise to leave a city after winning a championship? Give up? The Cleveland Rams. Yes, the CLEVELAND. Rams.

Many know about the greatness of Sean Taylor between the University of Miami and the four years with the Washington Commanders (then Redskins). Before his is untimely death at the age of 24, we tell you how he got there.

November 14 of this year the NFL world lost Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Kenny Easley. His career was short, but he proved it’s not how long you play but what you do when you play.

It is been 50 years for the Seahawks and the "12s“! A franchise that has seen more success than failure, three Super Bowl appearances, and a Lombardi trophy. And to think, it all started with a couple of shoe salesman.

I have learned by doing this show that the origins of an NFL franchise isn’t so cut and dry. You buy the team you own the team right? 50 years ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the NFL’s 27th franchise, and the man that ended up owning them? Let’s just say the league made it difficult, and it blew up in their face. @bellyupsports #NFL #NFLhistory #WeAreTheKrewe #Bucs #PewterPirates 

Every Hall of Famer has a different story, a different path that helped them reach Canton. One of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the league played behind someone who was clearly better than him during the early years, and at one point couldn’t even catch a cold! Not every career ends the way it begins.

Facing your old team in professional sports happens a lot, especially with players changing teams like they change draws! (In college too!) How did they leave? Money? Age? Injury? Whatever the case, whether it’s revenge or just another game, sometimes it’s sweet, while others? Let’s just say not great.

All of a sudden, (and for good reason) the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorite to win the Super Bowl after beginning the season 0–2. They are now 4–3. Not the most impressive record in the world, but it made me think of other teams left for dead that reached the Super Bowl. And, win, or lose, left their mark, reminding everyone that there’s always a chance. 

Ohio State has a fine history of NFL alumni at every position. Right now, there are five really good wideouts that were all there at the same time four years ago, continuing a long lineage including some of the best in league history.

This week had to be shortened and we deliver our week five rundown! After watching more come from behind victories, some teams lose in some of the most comical ways and some players will never learn to hold onto the football.

The Cincinnati Bengals have a quarterback problem, and one sportscasters idea could be at least a short term solution. We look back at other quarterback situations in pro football history, whether it ended in a trophy or not. 

After the week three rundown, we’re going to do a little something different. It’s trivia time!

There are some athletes who are defined by their sport, and then there are those who are not. There are also those who were forced to retire, and there are those who had other plans. For some, their plan was to get out before it was too late.

Sterling Sharpe’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was long overdue, and I’m glad he finally got in! You must know that these kind of accolades were not why he played, and he could care less, but the road getting there as well as how his career ended made so much sense.

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, both impacting and taking lives along the way, especially in the city of New Orleans. Five years later, the New Orleans Saints hoisted the Lombardi trophy, the city’s first ever championship in professional sports…The road was not easy for the city or its franchise. @BellyUpSports @BellyUpMedia #NFL #NFLhistory #NewOrleans #Katrina #WhoDat #Saints

In light of the Shedeur Sanders draft saga I give you my thoughts, plus, other quarterback free falls that went well and not so well... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The NFL‘s popularity is not due just to the season itself, but it’s off-season. Our near year round attention to the NFL combine, the draft, and off-season moves is directly due to the foresight of a Hall of Fame coach, who’s trade of their best player turned them into a dynasty.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Entering the NFL draft every team has needs and they do their best to try and fulfill them. Whether you are a dynasty or a team trying to have a winning season, in the words of ESPN 30 for 30 narrator and actor Tom Selleck, “There comes a time after every draft when names on a page become careers on a field, and teams must face the consequences of their choices.”  Learn more about your ad choices.
