The actual playing time of a Major League Baseball game is 18 minutes.

Which, I believe, is over twice as long as the actual playing time in a football game.

Until 1936 the jump ball in basketball was at the center of the court after every made basket. Talk about a long game.

In 1943, there was an NFL team called the Steagles. Pittspurgh and Philly lost so many players to service in WW2, that they combined into one team. They finished with a record of 5-4-1 and beat the defending champion Washington Redskins.

SOS never won as HC of UF at the noles stadium but Zook, Meyer, and WM did.

Spurrier was also the only UF football coach in history to coach a game against FSU in Tallahassee without ever beating them there.

Since it's draft time...
Just prior to the 1957 NFL draft, the late great Paul Brown told everyone in his organization that they were going to take one of the top three QB's with the 6th overall pick. On draft day, Paul Hornung went #1 to the fudge Packers, John Brodie was the third pick to the Niners, and Len Dawson went to the Steelers with the fifth overall pick. After hearing Dawson's name called, Paul Brown, on the clock, hung his head in silence for few minutes while the room remained just as quiet. Then he finally lifted his head and said..................................."We'll just have to take Jim Brown then".

Sept 14, 1990. Ken Griffey Sr was the No 2 hitter and he hit a homerun to left-center field. His son, Ken Griffey Jr, came up to bat next... and he hit a homerun to basically the exact same spot.
