AFA Announces Monthly Semipro Football Trivia Contest The provider of the first correct response via email will receive a gift from the American Football Association. 
#9) I am a well known sports writer who worked for SPORTS ILLUTRATED and ESPN. I played in the minors for the Lake County Rifles. I was paid $25 a game and a six pack of Meister Brau Beer. Who am I? Answer: Rick Reilly

 

#10) I am called the best quarterback never to play in the NFL. I was MVP, all-star quarterback, leading passer and top scorer in all three leagues I played in. I turned down a job with a NFL club because I would have had to take a pay cut. Who am I? 

 Research provided by AFA Historian, Steve Brainerd  

 

Rivals - One of the best things a minor league football can do is develop a strong rivalry with someone, but that is hard to do as most teams come and go after only a few seasons. It can do a lot for. The Binghamton Jets and Scranton Eagles have engaged in many games since 1971. Thru 1981, the two clubs split 28 games even. To the end of the competition. In 2002, the Eagles won 11 and lost only 4. This would include an eight games Eagle winning streak. The start of the series in 1971 proved too tremendous at the gate. The first game in Binghamton drew 8,000, the rematch in Scranton drew in excess of 12,000. The rubber game was Empire League championship in Scranton drew 11,000.

  

Correction via Chick Rader 4/21: 

The sequence is wrong, but thank you for recognizing the Jets - Eagles rivalry.  This rivalry started when Ray Stanton, who formed the Tri-City Jets, and competed in the Empire Football League, met with John Rogan from the Scranton area about forming a team and joining the league.  John brought the idea to me and together we formed the Lackawanna County Eagles and joined the Empire Football League for the 1971 season.
The L.C. Eagles hosted the Tri-City Jets in Scranton for their first meeting and beat the Jets, snapping their 60+ games winning streak before 12,000+ fans.  The 2nd game was played in Binghamton where the Jets beat the Eagles.  Since both teams finished the league with one loss, the championship game was held in Scranton, decided by a flip of a coin, and the L.C. Eagles beat the Jets for the Empire Football League championship and again sold out the stadium with 12,000+ fans.
It's interesting to note that on that same night, Scranton hosted a world championship fight at the Scranton Armory about one mile away from Scranton Memorial Stadium and both events drew capacity crowds.
Chick Rader 
Steve:  Mr. Rader did not "misremember" the sequence of the Eagles/Jets games in 1971.  The sequence was Jets at Eagles September 25, Eagles won 35-26; Eagles at Jets October 9, Jets won 40-20; Championship game at Scranton Memorial Stadium October 30, Eagles won 26-13.
Send me a fax number and I will send you the proof.  One of the conditions John Rogan and I insisted on when negotiating with the Empire Football League was that if we joined, we would not play Binghamton until the second half of the season and the first game would be in Scranton.  The Jets winning streak was 20, not 60 - which was a typo by my assistant who sends out my emails.
Regards,  Chick

American Football Association Hall of Fame - We continue to get phone calls about rings and requests from folks confused about membership in the AFA's Hall of Fame. It appears that after 34 years, a few folks still do not understand the AFA's Hall of Fame membership process. As a result, we have edited and published a more readable copy of our prerequisites and inductees from day one at American Football Association Hall of Fame Listing. By the way, we do NOT process hall of fame ring orders; our supplier Jostens does that for us!

For the majority of his football career, Bryan Smith got out of the huddle before putting his hands underneath the butt of Jose Rodriguez.

They played together at San Benito High and for the semi-pro football Central Coast Barnstormers. Through it all, they've been able to share a lifetime of memories. Now, they'll get to share one more.

#8) We joined the NFL together to do the same thing for football as a teammate did for baseball after World War II. We all played  for two minor professional leagues on the West Coast; the Hollywood Bears of the Pacific Coast Pro Football League in 1940, 1941, and 1945 and for the San Francisco Clippers of the American Football League in 1944. Correct Answer: Woody Strode and Ken Washington

  

#9) I am a well known sports writer who worked for SPORTS ILLUTRATED and ESPN. I played in the minors for the Lake County Rifles. I was paid $25 a game and a six pack of Meister Brau Beer. Who am I?
