Which Hall Of Fame Players Played For The Most Teams?

When you take a expression at football game participants who have got made it into the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame, usually you happen a participant who have spent the huge bulk of his calling with one team. This is mainly because when a squad acquires a participant with exceeding ability like that; they usually make all they can to throw onto him. Sometimes, because of diminishing accomplishments or paysheet reasons, a participant will play his last couple old age with another squad before retiring. That beingness said it is rare that a Hall-of-Fame quality participant plays with more than than two or three squads during their full career.

So, that implores the question: What is the most squads that a member of the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame have got played for.

The easy reply is: Six.

Three member of the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame have played for six different squads in their career. The dorsum narrative on these three participants is that they all played the bulk of their callings in the NFL's startup years (1920's) when squads would travel out of business, alteration name calling or metropolises frequently, and just overall not have got the stableness of the modern NFL, making it more than likely that a participant would play for multiple teams. Those participants are:

Jim Jim Thorpe - 1915-1928

Canton Bulldogs

Cleveland Indians (NFL)

Oorang Indians

Rock Island Independents

New House Of House Of York Giants

Chicago Cardinals

Joe Grunyon – 1919-1927

Canton Bulldogs

Clevenland Indians (NFL)

Oorang Indians

Rock Island Independents

Kansas City Cowboys

New York Giants

Fritz Pollard – 1919-1928

Akron Pros/Indians

Milwaukee Badgers

Hammond Pros

Gilberton Cadamounts

Providence Steam Roller

Chicago Black Hawks

If we look at the more than modern epoch of professional football, the most squads any Hall-of-Fame member have got played for is five, and three different participants have accomplished this feat.

Warren Moon 1983-2000

While Moon is in the Hall-of-Fame and have played for five different teams, some may number it differently as lone four of the squads were in the NFL.

Edmonton Eskimos (CFL)

Houston Oilers

Minnesota Vikings

Seattle Seahawks

Kansas City Chiefs

Tommy MacDonald 1957-1968

Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Cowboys

Los Angeles Rams

Atlanta Falcons

Cleveland Browns

James Lofton 1978-1993

Green Bay Packers

Los Angeles Raiders

Buffalo Bills

Los Angeles Rams

Philadelphia Eagles

Most often, when we believe of Hall-of-Fame participants we believe of participants like Barry Sanders, Dame Ellen Terry Bradshaw, Baronet Starr, or Toilet Elway who played their full calling with one team. Sometimes we believe of participants like Joe Montana, O.J. Simpson, Tony Dorsett, or Emmitt Ian Smith who played the bulk of their calling with one squad and then finished it with another. Not too often make we retrieve the participants who played for four or five different squads as Hall-of-Famers.

Bearcats Living Up to the Hype?

The University of Cincinnati have one of those bowls that are only half full on saturdays, and opportunities are, the visiting squad do up most of it. Well, they did anyway... The Bearcats have got clawed their manner into the AP Top-25 after starting the season undefeated and carrying with them, a 9-game winning run that all started after foiling Rutger's command for an undefeated season last season by a mark of 30-11, and taking down the Red Knights again 28-23. Currently sitting at #15, the Bearcats are starting to do their presence known within the Top-25.

Cincinnati, after their game at Rutgers, sit downs at 2nd in points allowed and points scored per game. The discourtesy is the 4th best in the conference, and the defence is 6th. The discourtesy is nil too stellar, but they make set up a good fight. Ben Mauk, who is playing quite well after overcoming surgery on his arm, have achieved a evaluation of 167.9, with 1034 passing play yards, good for 12 TD's. Bulter Thomas Hart Benton is averaging 5.1 paces per carry. He have 67 carries, good for 343 paces and 2 TD's. Marcus Barnett takes all receiving systems with 28 responses for 352 paces and 6 TD's. After Rutgers, the Bearcats are at place against the best discourtesy in the Big East and the second-best discourtesy in the NCAA, the Big East human dynamo known as Louisville. Then they go to Pitt, then USF. After that route trip, the Cats have got two games at home, against UCONN, then against Occident Virginia. Finally, they stop the season on the route when they play against Syracuse. Even after all the hype, the Cats have got not allow the rankings travel their head. That type of mental attitude turns out that the participants are mature adequate to possibly vie for a championship. Hopefully, in a few years, Cincinnati will go a football game human dynamo and will be able to vie with the ranks of Buckeye State State, USC and LSU.

AAFL - Another American Football League

With the bombilation growing around the new AAFL, is the U.S. ready for yet another American football game league? The All American Football League believes so.

What is it?

Football by any other name. The AAFL is hoping to pull football game game game game fans who necessitate an mercantile establishment for professional football in the NFL's offseason.

What's the attraction?

Besides a springtime and early summertime season, the AAFL is associating itself with colleges known for football to pull college football fans in their offseason. This is critical to its attack because it means to enroll participants from those colleges. The thought is that if you closely followed a player's college calling and they are now playing for the AAFL, you will desire to follow their professional calling as well. Each college's alumni and local fanbase will be offered ticket bundles and other perks.

Where will the squads be located?

So far, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, and Texas.

Try-outs for Arkansas, Alabama, Sunshine State and Wolverine State have got got already been held, and depending on your source, some participants have already been signed to teams. A regular season and playoff agenda is already set, though again, depending on your source, not all the locales for games have got been finalized. Among the land sites that are expected to host at least one game are Raymond Jesse James Stadium in Tampa, FL, War Memorial Field in Little Rock, argon and John Ford Field in Detroit, MI.

Is there anyone well-known associated with the league?

Though the conference commissioner and trading operations executive directors are not hired yet, the president of the Board of Managers is Cedric Dempsey, a former NCAA president. There is also mental representation from former college presidents and university system premiers as well as Jack Lengyel, better known as the fictional character played by Saint Matthew McConaughey in We Are Marshall.

Wait, isn't there already football game in the NFL's offseason?

Sphere League Football (AFL) runs from March to June. NFL Europa have folded. The Canadian Football League (CFL) runs roughly from late June through November.

Will it work?

A batch of conferences have got come up and gone. The job is that it bes a batch to run and keep a football game league. There are participant and executive director salaries, bowl rentals and telecasting contracts just for starters. The AAFL is a for-profit league and if it cannot run at a profit, it won't remain around for very long. It is deserving noting that the AAFL will not profit from grant gross sales the manner some professional squads make to hike their net income because grants at the games will be operated by and for the host stadium. For what it's worth, suds will not be available.

Another hurdle the conference confronts is keeping the costs to fans down. Ticket terms for pro athletics are a large turnoff, and the AAFL will have got to happen a manner to maintain ticket terms low-cost and attractive. Ticket terms have got been announced to be around $13 and there will be a large pushing for locals to purchase "memberships" which gives them particular fringe benefits such as as very important person parking and particular showings of out-of-town games.

The AAFL have said it will televise games nationally, but there's nationally televised insurance and then there's national television. Just inquire the NHL who are effectively buried on Versus, a transmission channel that most people have got never heard of.

The conference can acquire a immense encouragement if the quality of the game drama is high. Then, it stand ups a good opportunity of making it past the first season.

The existent inquiry is whether or not the AAFL theoretical account can work by staying local, and whether it even necessitates the support of a national fanbase. And you might also be asking, why trouble oneself at all? Are there really a nothingness in the human race of American football game that is served by a new league? The AAFL believes so. If not, it will be just another football game conference that come ups and travels in the eye blink of a season.

College Football - There Are Contenders and Pretenders, 9 of 25 Top Teams Get a Reality Check

(Editor's Note: All rankings used in this article are from the AP Top 25 Poll and all squad evaluations used are from Sagarin, the gold criterion among evaluation services.)

In the human race of college football game there are Pretenders and contenders. Nine of AP's Top 25 squads and 3 of the top 5 were given a world bank check over the weekend.

Was I surprised at this yearly occurrence? Hardly. When you begin analyzing how some of the squads started the hebdomad at 4-0 and ended it at 4-1, it is as easy to see as your human face in a mirror. World have a manner of telling all of the furrows and weaknesses.

For openers, there are the No.3 Oklahoma Sooners who lost a Big 12 Conference game 27-24 by a last 2nd field end in Centennial State to the Buffalos. Sooner State dropped to No. Ten in the Top 25.

The Sooners got to their exalted No. Three ranking by whipping No. 170th rated North Texas, No. 145th rated Beehive State State, No. 58th rated Tulsa and No. 44th rated Miami (FL). Their discourtesy ran up large tons on everybody, but their strength of agenda was only the 100th best in the country.

Urban Meyer and his defending national title-holder Sunshine State Gators fared no better. They lost 20-17 by a field end at place to Auburn in a second Conference game. Sunshine State was behind 17-3 going into the 4th quarter.

The loss snapped an 11-game winning run for the Gators who suffered their first place loss under Urban Meyer. Meyer's squad had won 18 in-a-row astatine home, 17 since Meyer took over in 2005.

The Gators got to their No. Four ranking by getting the best of No. 110 Western Kentucky, No. 85 Mississippi, No. 77 Troy and No. 32 Tennessee, an second opponent. Beating Volunteer State is what vaulted Sunshine State up in the rankings. Sunshine State dropped to No. Nine inch the rankings.

No. Five Occident Old Dominion ran smack into No. Eighteen South Sunshine State in a Big East face-off in South Sunshine State and lost 21-13. Coach Jim Leavitt and his South Sunshine State Bulls are quickly becoming the squad no 1 desires to face, and THE narrative of the college football game season.

West Old Dominion dropped from No. Five to No. Thirteen in the rankings while South Sunshine State moved up from No. Eighteen to No. 6.

West Old Dominion got to its No. Five ranking by taking down No. 129 Marshall, No. 94 Western Michigan, No. 74 East Carolina and No. 51 Maryland. Mountaineer fans who expected Occident Old Dominion to travel undefeated this twelvemonth and win the national statute title demand to regroup.

No. Seven Lone-Star State got really establish out and abashed at place against Sunflower State State in another Big 12 game as the Wildcats dumped on the Longhorns, 41-21. I have got got been questioning Texas' stature since the beginning of the year, and now my intuitions have been validated.

Texas got to 4-0 by defeating No. 162 Rice, No. Hundred Land Of Opportunity State, No. 73 Central Sunshine State and No. 54 TCU. Particularly telling was Central Florida, which Lone-Star State beat out by a field end while giving up 32 points. Texas, who is rated No. Twenty-Five by Sagarin, dropped to No. 19, a much more than realistic topographic point for the Longhorns to lounge.

No. Ten Rutgers, the favorites of the Big East, were upset at place by Old Line State 34-24, and dropped to No. 21. I believe Rutgers will soon drop out of the Top 25 as two 5-0 squads in the Big East—No. Twenty Cincinnati and unranked Connecticut--are being overlooked.

Rutgers rose to No. Ten by snappy up on No. 208 Alcoholics Anonymous Norfolk State, No. 142 American Bison and No. 68 Navy. Good grief, talking about a feeble schedule. They rate what they get.

Sagarin rates Rutgers at No. 38; even that looks high to me at the moment.

No. Eleven Beaver State played host to No. Six Golden State in a Political Action Committee 10 matchup and led 14-10 going into the 4th one-fourth but the Bears scored three touchdowns in the last 15 proceedings to set them away, 31-24.

Worse yet, the Ducks' Cameron Colvin scored what appeared to be the tying touchdown in the concluding secs but he fumbled and the ball went out of the end zone, giving Golden State a touchback and a triumph when the drama was reviewed. Duck fans in Autzen Stadium realized the errant drama may have got cost them a national title down the road.

Oregon dropped to No. Fourteen in the Top 25 and Golden State rose from No. Six to No. 3.

No. Thirteen Clemson traveled to Empire State Of The South Technical School and saw its dreaming season get to unknot as the Yellow Jacket defence held the Tigers to a field end in winning, 13-3. Clemson dropped to No. 22.

The Tigers got into the Top 25 by handling No. 154 Alcoholics Anonymous Furman, No. 133 Louisiana-Monroe, No. 87 North Carolina State and No. Twenty-One Sunshine State State. Clemson rose in the standings by whipping No. 21-rated Sunshine State State 24-18 in its opener.

Sagarin rates Clemson No. 34, no where close the Top 25. Clemson could drop out of the Top 25 in a heartbeat.

Joe Paterno's No. Twenty-One William William William Penn State Nittany Lions started the season at 3-0 before losing to a rejuvenated Wolverine State in the Big House, 14-9, and now loses his 2nd Big 10 game to Prairie State 27-20 at Illinois.

Going on the route in Big 10 Conference games have suddenly go difficult for Penn State as it dropped right out of the Top 25.

Again, Penn State started its season by running up tons on the worst Division 1-A school in college football, No. 171 Sunshine State International, the 7th worst squad in Division 1-A, No. 142 Buffalo, and the apparently miserable No. 95 and winless Notre Dame. What were those fans in Happy Valley thinking? A national championship? Think again.

No. Twenty-Two Heart Of Dixie was the 9th of the Top 25 squads to lose when first twelvemonth Coach Dent Saban and his Red Tide paid a visit to Sunshine State State and lost 21-14. Heart Of Dixie dropped right out of the Top 25 after arriving just a hebdomad earlier. Sagarin now rates Heart Of Dixie at No. 39.

I thought Saban might have got got kept Heart Of Dixie rising; I now have to readjust my outlooks for the Red Tide.

And so the awful 9—Oklahoma, Florida, Occident Virginia, Texas, Rutgers, Oregon, Clemson, William Penn State and Alabama—all drop but the No. One USC Trojans managed to get away by barely defeating American Capital at Eskimo Dog Stadium by a field end 27-24.

USC committed 16 penalties, threw 2 interceptions, lost a muff and suffered a blocked Irish pound and yet prevailed to reserve its perfect 5-0 record. The 2-3 American Capital Huskies are not exactly a human dynamo yet are rated No. Twenty-Seven by Sagarin, not too shabby.

By being so unimpressive, USC slipped to No. Two as the LSU Tigers took over the top spot.

LSU blew past No. 144-rated, in-state competing Tulane, 34-9, after ripping apart No. 57 Mississippi River State 45-0, No. Twenty-Eight Old Dominion Technical School 48-7 and No. 125 Center Volunteer State 44-0. LSU's best win came at place against No. Seventeen South Carolina 28-16. Sagarin rates LSU No. One in the country.

Only one other game really caught my attending and that was No. Nine Wisconsin River spotting Wolverine State State 34 points and then winning by a field end at home. The Badgers rose to No. Five among the Top 25.

I still believe Wisconsin River is not that good. Sagarin rates Wisconsin River at No. 24. The Badgers still have got away games at Illinois, William Penn State and Buckeye State State, then host Michigan. After those 4 games I doubt Wisconsin River will be 11-0 going into their last game at Minnesota.

Teams in the Top 25 start losing at this point in the season because they purposefully schedule weak squads early on to give their participants confidence, rise in the Top 25 rankings, give their booster amplifier hope, and convey attending to their programs.

Once conference drama starts, the messing around is over, as the awful 9 establish out over the weekend.
