  • Podunk Versus Gotham: the 1946 Browns-Yankees Rivalry
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 2 (1994) PODUNK VERSUS GOTHAM: THE 1946 BROWNS-YANKEES RIVALRY by Jack Ziegler In 1946 America had a new football league - the All-America Conference. In the Eastern division the New York Yankees dominated. In the West the Cleveland Browns emerged as the team to beat, though not without some stiff competition from the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Dons. A lively rivalry quickly developed between the two divisional champions due in large part to the personalities of their coaches, New York's Ray Flaherty and Cleveland's Paul Brown. The Yankees with their uniforms of silver and blue and offices on Park Avenue were the blue chip franchise of the new league and Ray Flaherty was their blue chip coach. Flaherty's roots reached deep into pro football. He had played end with Red Grange's New York Yankees in 1927-28. In 1929 Flaherty moved to Steve Owen's New York Giants, becoming a playing coach in 1933 at age 29. In 1936 Flaherty became head coach of the Boston Redskins. In 1937, Flaherty coached the Redskins (now in Washington) to a league championship, a feat he duplicated in 1942. After Navy service in World War II, Flaherty assumed control of the Yankees. The AAC's most high-profile coach felt very good about his personnel: "I have the best material I've ever had, and that goes for the fine Washington teams." The major power in the West would turn out to be the Cleveland Browns. or as Flaherty snidely referred to them, "a team from Podunk with a high school coach." At 38, only four years younger than Flaherty, Paul Brown seemed the antithesis of his opposite number.

  • The Other Buffalo Bills
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 1 (1997) THE OTHER BUFFALO BILLS By Joe Marren Reprinted from The Buffalo Bills Insider America yearned for a return to normalcy at the end of World War II in 1945, but what America got was unlike anything it would have thought normal before the war. Those were giddy times for returning servicemen and civilians alike with money to spend and a hankering to go west. So their games had to keep up with the hurly-burly pace of the day or risk becoming quaint anachronisms like cricket or nine- pins. If a modern Rip Van Winkle drank from a keg while playing some old-fashioned nine-pins in the 1930s and awoke in the America of the late 1940s, he would have been just as bewildered as his great-great- great-great-great grandpa, especially if he was a football fan. Football juked conventional wisdom, shed Eastern tackles and became the first sport with major-league teams on the West Coast. The 1945 National Football League champion Cleveland Rams drove into the Los Angeles market in 1946 and a new league, the All-American Football Conference, put the Los Angeles Dons and San Francisco 49ers on the coast that same season. Our modern Rip would have also witnessed a social revolution. In 1946, the Rams signed two UCLA graduates, halfback Kenny Washington and end Woody Strode, to be the first black players in the NFL since 1933. The AAFC Cleveland Browns also showed that a man's ability was more important than his skin color when it hired fullback Marion Motley and guard Bill Willis in '46.
