Other than the Bills winning AFL titles in the pre- Super Bowl days (1964 & 65), and the Bandits winning some Lax titles, unfortunmately, you are correct Vito.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didin't Bobby Layne also play defensive back for the Lions, and was damn good at it? Ie., he was one of the last great 2-way players in the NFL?

Check out His 1971 Album(Yes,I still call them that)"It Ain't Easy"the title track of which was covered by David Bowie on"Ziggy Stardust".Blues Rock at it's finest.Also,Baldry did a cover of the Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling"that Bill Medley Himself said was better than the original-high praise indeed.

It's one of the few times being an insomniac has it's advantages,Mike.I do a lot of reading between 2-4 AM.Then I try to relax till about 6:30,and get going at which point I grab a couple of Newspapers.

Currently reading "The Montreal Canadiens:100 Years of Glory" by D'arcy Jenish.Great book so far,and I'm not even a Habs fan.Also recently finished "Carlisle vs Army"by Lars Anderson-the story of one of the most heated College football rivalries of the early 20th Century.I recommend both.
