	The Lions were once the Portsmouth Spartans. I think the Redskins were once the Boston Braves. One of the baseball team's original names was the Beaneaters, if I'm not mistaken. Also, since the Browns kept all records and didn't transfer them to the Ravens, shouldn't they be listed in the year 1946, with a 3-year hiatus? I loved the quiz by the way.
