Back to school

Watching Bill Belichick struggle at the University of Carolina made me think about other coaches that left the NFL for the college ranks, or vice versa. We examine these coaches’ success or failures.

Leaving Dallas

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.

Go West! Part II

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.

Go West! Part I

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.

Full Speed: Remembering Sean Taylor

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.

Rest Easley

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.

50 years and two shoe salesmen

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.

50-Year-Old, Pewter Pirates! (RE-DO!)

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 

Artistic Monk

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.

Hello again!

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.
