What are some rarely if ever mentioned sports facts that you know of?
As a Detroit Lions fan I'll break one out that may explain some of their bad juju. William Clay Ford purchased the Lions on November 22, 1963. The day President Kennedy was assassinated. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot.

The following quarterbacks have won at least one Super Bowl as the starter & at least one more Super Bowl as a backup: Steve Young, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler, Jim McMahon.
The Titans and Ravens have faced each other 5 times over the years in the playoffs. All 5 of those games were won by the road team.
The Rams were originally from Cleveland. They even won the 1945 NFL Championship. The team moved to L.A. the very next year.

Until David Wright retired, the only notable longer-term player the Mets had that spent his entire career with them was Ed Kranepool. ED. KRANEPOOL.
The Los Angeles Chargers are unusual for an LA team in that they started in the city instead of being moved there. They spent their first year of existence as the LA Chargers, then moved to San Diego the next season. The only other current LA-named teams that started their existence in the city or its metro area are the Angels and the Kings. The Ducks don't count in this matter because they call themselves the Anaheim Ducks and not the Los Angeles Ducks.

The Mets did not make the playoffs once in between their NL EAST division win in 2006 and their pennant in 2015. Fox's Kevin Burkhardt worked for the Mets from the 2007-2014 seasons.

Barkley was on arguably the most famous Olympic team of modern times. Yeah, but he needed 2 gold metals to beat Kurt's one. I was trying to find a famous "no rings" player with more than 1 gold medal. |

Veteran Head Coach Andy Reid has only seen the Lions win a single playoff game in his lifetime.
The Jets have never beaten the Eagles in the NFL.
Cameron McGrone (Linebacker) was born after his head coach, Bill Belichick, was hired.

Despite the history between the two schools in sports and being fairly close Notre Dame and Kentucky have never meet on the football field.
No kid ever came up to Joe Jackson and said "Say it ain't so Joe."
MLB did not make Pete Rose ineligible for the Hall of Fame. The Baseball Hall of Fame Board Directors where the ones that made him ineligible for Cooperstown.
