I think we only have 37 so far. Lotsa chatter. ---

Wow, I didn’t even bother. No clue. ---

I wonder, if not for Peyton, if Unitas would have been the obvious choice for the Colts or maybe we’re all too young for that. He’s actually who I thought of first, and I’m glad that AuntiePam put him down. ---

After Lombardi, my first thought was Bart Starr for the Pack. Oddly, I didn’t even think Favre. Starr was well before my time. ---

I suspected that Jim Brown would be the Feud Conch. But Ditka should be. Just because he is Ditka. Cowboys should be the anti-conch. so many famous names in that organization. ---

There are no faulty cards. If the majority gave Taylor as the most common answer, the people who said him would get the most points, even if he never saw Giants stadium in his life. It is not about" correct answers". It is about matches and matches only. ---

You probably mixed and matched Otto Graham’s name (Cleveland QB, late 40s to 50s, still holds the record for all-time winning % among NFL QB’s (57-13-1, .810) and Paul Brown’s. ---

If the majority gave Taylor as the most common answer, the people who said him would get the most points, even if he never saw Giants stadium in his life. It is not about" correct answers". It is about matches and matches only. Note that I wrote “if it matters” because it’s quite possible it doesn’t. But I notice you wrote here “Giants Stadium” as if you put in Lawrence Taylor as a response for the Giants. You did not. You wrote Lawrence Taylor as a response for the Steelers. You should have said “Three Rivers Stadium.” ---

I think a great 11th question to this feud should have been: 1. **Little Nemo** , I can’t believe you left off the… My answer would have been: the Miami Dolphins ---

The remaining spots I filled in with the teams that had the most championships. If people want and Dolores Reborn agrees we could do two more feuds to cover more teams. Then we can argue about which two don’t make the cut.
