Thanks Prophet,

I found it kind of interesting......

Good read, I knew many, but some I didnt know and were quite interesting.

I didn't know about the defunct Mpls NFL team names:

Minneapolis–Marines (1922-24) and Red Jackets (1929-30)

That is pretty interesting.. Thanks man

Very cool, thanks for the info!

Don't forget about the Duluth Kelleys (1923-1925) and the Eskimos (1926-1927).

some interesting stuff there. tons of info. thanks.

That is a really cool read ... and lots of good nuggets of info to throw around with buddies to look super smart about nothing ...

In 1919, Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Calhoun pieced together a group in the Green Bay Press-Gazette editorial room with the notion of starting a football team. Lambeau’s employer at the Indian Packing Company - Frank Peck - provided jerseys, equipment and use of its athletic field for practice. Early on, the club was identified as a project of the company, hence Packers became a natural fit.

Hmmmm I thought that they got their name from a candy company known for its fudge. :wink:
