So we just need to do whatever it takes to get the best players on our team.

The other thing that he did, he employed an entire staff of assistant coaches year round.

I think it was six people in addition to him.

No other team did that.

That's counter-positioning right there.

Ugh, the Rams were so good at PR.

But put a pin in Pete Rozelle for the moment.

So for a quick review of where we are right now, you've got the NFL.

It's an eight-team league.

The Rams have just moved from Cleveland to LA.

And then you've got this AFC that's starting to play.

What year do they actually start?

1946.

Same year that the Rams moved to California.

And the roster of AAFC teams is the Cleveland Browns that we've talked about, the New York Yankees football team, the Brooklyn Dodgers football team.

Which defected from the NFL.

Yes.

The Buffalo Bisons, the Miami Seahawks.

is interesting that has nothing to do with the Seattle Seahawks.

They just reuse the same name, the San Francisco 49ers, the Los Angeles Dons.
