And that was also right around the time Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Baltimore where transferred from the NFL to the inferior Afc when the merger took place. Being in the AFC hasn't been to kind to the Browns. But I do remember how they made Meredith retire early before leaving the NFL.
Inferior? The Ravens/Colts (Baltimore identified, not Modell identified), Steelers, Broncos, Raiders and Patriots have held up their end of the bargain since the merger. Anything you can say about the Bills, you can also say about the Vikings. I love AFC football. It might have to do with growing up with Enberg, Trumpy, Brodie, Don Criqui, Merlin Olsen and Pete Axthelm all part of the AFC presentation. Madden and Summerall are the only team that stick out in my mind who did NFC games and at present, Joe Buck makes any marquee NFC game unwatchable.
