New York Giants
really interesting piece. obviously all this preceded the famous 1958 OT colts-Giants game. And, wow, was paul Brown a genius or what.
Brings back GREAT memories. :ok: =D> I remember, as if it were yesterday, sitting at my radio listening to that 6-0 game. I was enthralled! That WAS a terrific rivalry. I was completely upset when the Browns (and Steelers too) went into the AFC in 1970. ~X( ~X(
Hope Rich doesn't mind but for those interested here is part II.
Also my compliments to BBH for their great Giant pic's from the 50's and 60's. I really enjoy them.

I disagree...what changed pro football to what became the NFL was when the Giants starting free agent signing of Pete Gogolak away from the AFL Buffalo Bills which started a bidding war which eventually led to the merger.
