This might be the most interesting article I've written to date. Did you know that from 1960 to 1969 the NFL held a "Playoff Bowl" pinning the runners-up from each Conference in a game to determine the 3rd place team of the NFL?

The entire history is right here...

I'm trying really hard to win the POTD with this and have already managed to earn a few votes, hopefully I'll earn yours as well.

Hope you enjoy,

Hi , did you see the NY sports page on BR? it is not doing to well. it only has 4 fans, i think we should make it better and take the page under are wing, its time to for us to represent NY and show the world what this great place is all about. I asked Angel Navedo to be the community leader, we will see what he says. Are you in ?
