American Football History

The Chicago Bears have resided in the same city and borne the same nickname for the longest period of time in the NFL. The team was established in 1920 as the Decatur Staleys and moved to Chicago the following year, where they became the Bears. They have been known as the Chicago Bears for over a century, making it the longest continuous use of both city and nickname in the league.

Yes, Herschel Walker did play for the Georgia Bulldogs. He won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award in 1982.

Yes, football can be a lifetime activity for many people. While competitive football may not be played at an older age, many individuals continue to participate in recreational leagues or play informally with friends. Additionally, football can be enjoyed as a spectator sport, allowing fans to engage with the game even if they are not physically playing.

There have been many great cornerbacks in NFL history, but one of the most widely regarded as the best is Deion Sanders. Sanders was a dominant force with exceptional speed, agility, and coverage skills. He was a two-time Super Bowl champion and a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. His ability to shut down opposing receivers and make game-changing plays earned him the nickname "Prime Time."

The 2008 Boise State football team ended up with a 12-1 record and were WAC champions for the 6th season in 7. They went undefeated in Conference play and the rest of the 'regular season'. Their only loss was to TCU, 17-16, in the Poinsettia Bowl.

His game speed was unrivaled, however his 40 yard dash time was below average for a wide receiver.

Yes, football can be a hard sport to play. It requires a combination of physical strength, speed, agility, and mental sharpness. Players must also be able to endure physical contact and handle the pressure of competition.

It is difficult to determine who has the best distance football throw as it depends on the specific circumstances and competition. However, some notable quarterbacks known for their long throws include Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, and Josh Allen.

As of September 2021, there is no official list of fastest 40-yard dash times specifically for NBA players. The 40-yard dash is primarily used as a measurement in American football scouting combines and not commonly tracked in basketball. Therefore, it is difficult to provide an accurate list of the top ten fastest times for current NBA players.

He's not a real player...apparently he won a contest to be put in as a FA...I know, I use him too.

I believe he is, but some argue that Jim Brown is better as a running back, even though he didn't get as many yards. Also, Emmit Smith has passed Walter Payton's record for yards, but he wasn't play well the year he broke it, because he was just hanging on, but I stand by Walter 100%.
