This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven decades of the intense Steelers-Browns rivalry Football historians regard the games between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers as the basis for one of the greatest rivalries in NFL history. Authors Richard Peterson and Stephen Peterson, in telling the engaging story of these teams who play only a two-hour drive along the turnpike from each other, explore the reasons behind this intense rivalry and the details of its ups and downs for each team and its fans. The early rivalry was a tale of Browns dominance and Steelers ineptitude. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Browns--led by Hall of Famers ranging from Otto Graham and Marion Motley in the 1950s to Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, and Leroy Kelly in the 1960s--won 32 of the first 40 games played against the Steelers. In the 1970s, the Steelers--led by Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and the Steel Curtain--finally turned things around. When the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, Art Rooney agreed to move the Steelers only if the Browns also moved into the AFC and played in the same division so that their rivalry would be preserved. Despite the fierce rivalry, these cities and their fans have much in common, most notably the working-class nature of the Steeler Nation and the Dawg Pound and their passion, over the decades, for their football teams. Many fans are able to regularly making the 130-mile trip to watch the games. From the first game on October 7, 1950, where Cleveland defeated the Steelers 30-17, to last season's infamous helmet incident with Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett, the rivalry remains as intense as ever.

Download or read book West Side Pride written by James Carey and published by . This book was released on 2022-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Side Pride is the story of the classic cross-town rivalry between Warren Western Reserve and Warren G. Harding, two high schools in a small Northeast Ohio city. The rivalry came to a head when the two schools shared four consecutive championship seasons. This included both teams' first undefeated and untied seasons and more significantly, the state's very first playoff championship. West Side Pride looks closely at the rivalry, the driving force most responsible for sending both teams to the pinnacle of state competition. It also examines the creation and introduction of Ohio's playoff system, which was one of the first in the country. West Side Pride concludes by reviewing the collateral and enduring effects of the re-integration of the two schools, including Warren Western Reserve's lost legacy, contradicting its notability as Ohio's first playoff champions.Part historical reference and part personal memoir, West Side Pride both explains and amuses by integrating contextual foundation and statistical evidence among the firsthand accounts and anecdotes of the exceptional young men who helped create and sustain the rivalry. It also entertains a speculative look at what might have transpired had there been neither a fierce rivalry between Warren's two high schools, nor a playoff system. West Side Pride was written by a Western Reserve graduate and member of the football team.
