Modern fantasy football can be traced back to Wilfred "Bill" Winkenbach, an Oakland, California businessman and limited partner in the Oakland Raiders. In a New York City hotel room during a 1962 Raiders cross-country trip, Winkenbach, Raiders public relations employee Bill Tunnel, and Oakland Tribune reporter Scotty Stirling developed the rules that would eventually become the basis of modern fantasy football. The inaugural league was called the Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League (GOPPPL), and the first draft took place in Winkenbach's home in Oakland in August 1963.[6] The league consisted of eight members: administrative affiliates of the American Football League, pro football journalists, and individuals who had purchased or sold 10 season tickets for the Raiders' 1963 season. Each roster consisted of two quarterbacks, four halfbacks, two fullbacks, four wide receivers or tight ends, two return specialists, two kickers, two defensive backs or linebackers, and two defensive linemen. The scoring system was entirely dependent on real-life scoring, and[a] The original system rewarded 25 points for a touchdown pass, rush, or reception, 25 for a field goal, 10 for an extra point, and 200 for a kickoff, punt, or interception that was returned for a touchdown. As of 2015, the GOPPPL was still active and had maintained the original scoring system.

Football Trivia - One team did that, the Frankford Yellow Jackets in 1925.  The Yellow Jackets, in their second NFL season, played 22(!) games that year, ending with a 15-7 record and in 6th place behind the eventual champions Chicago Cardinals, who won when Pottsville Maroons were suspended for playing an illegal game, ironically for playing too close to Frankford! The Yellow Jackets won one NFL Title in 1926. Frankford, a suburb of Philadelphia, played in the NFL From 1924 to 1931, when they went under.  The NFL, desperate for a team in Philadelphia, granted the Eagles a new franchise and all of the Yellow Jackets history and rights two years later.   Non-Football Trivia - The top Christmas Tree producing states are: 1.

The Ravens and Titans both made the playoffs in 2000, with the Ravens winning the Super Bowl, the Bucs also won the Super Bowl the year they did this, and the Rams were the odd one out, going 4-12 with two of their wins coming as a result of three field goals.   Non-Football Trivia - Pronounced tur-duhk-uhn, a turducken is a deboned chicken stuffed inside a deboned duck stuffed inside a mostly deboned turkey (its wings and legs are left intact). There’s usually stuffing inside the chicken and between each bird.  It’s the ultimate poultry dish.  It’s widely believed that Louisiana chef Paul Prudhomme invented this extravagant dish in the 1970s or 1980s. He trademarked the name in 1986 and served it at his southern restaurant, K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen.   Madden first had the Turducken, not on Thanksgiving, but on Dec 1, 1996, during a game between the Rams vs Saints. The following year in 1997, was the first time he mentioned it on a Thanksgiving day game, not only showing the dish but eating it with his bare hands!!!  The six legs of the Turducken also allowed Madden to give one to each O-lineman after a game! If you really want crazy, get the rôti sans pareil—the roast without equal—created by French gastronomist Alexandre Balthazar Laurent Grimod de la Reynière in the 1807 cookbook L'almanach des gourmands. Rôti sans pareil stuffs 17 birds inside each other: a bustard, chicken, duck, garden warbler, goose, guinea fowl, lapwing, lark, ortolan bunting, partridge, pheasant, plover, quail, teal, thrush, turkey, and woodcock ... plus all this other stuff including an olive stuffed with an anchovy stuffed with a single caper, plus pork stuffing—it's ridiculous!
