So there they were http://www.bengalsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-drew-sample-jersey , 15 men ready to launch the 10 charter teams of the National Football League in 1920. They gathered in Ralph Hay’s car showroom in Canton, Ohio , and got down to business.Except for one problem: There weren’t enough chairs for everyone.A few of the future owners of NFL franchises instead sat on the running boards of the modest Hupmobile in Hay’s dealership. And when they were ready to sign the papers to establish the league, they leaned on the hood of the car to finish up.While the fate of that actual Hupmobile — some have compared the quality of that brand of automobile to the Nash Rambler —isn’t known, another vehicle of that model has become something of a mascot, if you will, for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.“It serves two purposes,” said Joe Horrigan, the executive director of the hall. “We’ve had it displayed as a temporary exhibit for a couple of years, so it was the first thing visitors saw when they entered the Hall of Fame.We’d have a video story with it explaining why Canton is the site of the hall.“Also it’s there for the first play of the induction weekend; we do a symbolic start,” he added. “We’ll have a human chain of kids from underserved neighborhoods line the street from downtown Canton and they pass a football the 2 1-2 miles to the steps of the Hall of Fame. Later (in the week) it starts the parade with the Hall of Famers (on induction day). It’s like the grand master of the parade.”The Hupmobile has had, among others http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/trayvon-mullen-jersey , Hall of Fame President/CEO David Baker and Hall of Famers Ron Yary and Paul Krause as passengers.The car makes its home these days at the Canton Classic Car Museum. There simply wasn’t enough room at the hall; it also took an hour to get it in and out of the doors. Horrigan said there was no way they were going to store it with other artifacts that aren’t always on display to the public.So the “Hup” headed to the museum, whose director originally had helped the hall find the car in upstate New York to purchase it.Gary Hussar of the museum is the current “cartaker.”“I am the keeper of the keys,” he said with a laugh, looking respectfully at the red bodywork and impressive grille.“It only goes on the streets, no highway.”During the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, he gave a rundown of the memorable vehicle which features:—a convertible top that opens and closes by hand;—no side windows, making it a touring car;—leather seats;—a three-speed transmission;—windshield wipers operated by a vacuum pump;—old-fashioned brakes, as in very old, with no hydraulics.“But it stops well,” Hussar explained, noting the car’s max speed is 35 mph.“The engine has been restored,” Hussar added. “The electrics have been upgraded; it didn’t have a fuel pump so an electronic fuel pump was added.”Asked the biggest challenge driving the Hupmobile http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/isaiah-johnson-jersey , Hussar smiled widely and mentioned he’s in charge of driving it into its display areas.“It’s 67-inches wide,” Hussar said. “And the doors are 68 inches.”Yet there’s not a scratch on this old classic.It’s very likely the Hup will have a significant role in the Centennial Celebration the Hall of Fame is planning in September 2020. Maybe someone might even sit on the running boards. A season already gone bad turned worse for the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, before a national television audience.The Cardinals absorbed a 45-10 drubbing by the Denver Broncos to fall to 1-6, one of the worst home losses in franchise history. There were mistakes across the board on offense, defense and special teams.The offense entered last in the NFL in yards per game, and didn’t do much to help deflect further criticism. With offensive coordinator Mike McCoy under pressure amid rumors of his possible ousting, the Cardinals went 4 for 14 on third down and gained only 223 total yards.Forced to play from well behind, they managed only 69 rushing yards against the league’s worst rushing defense.“That’s premature to talk about any changes right now,” Cardinals first-year head coach Steve Wilks said. “Everybody’s going to be evaluated across the board. We’ve got to find ways to get this thing moving in the right direction.”Wilks was pressed on McCoy’s status.“I didn’t say Mike McCoy at all,” Wilks said. “I’m talking about changes that could personnel. It could be players. Whatever it may be. It could be scheme.”Josh Rosen threw three interceptions — two returned for touchdowns in the first quarter — and lost two fumbles.Broncos linebacker Von Miller had earlier in the week said boldly claimed that the Broncos would kick the Cardinals’ behind. The Broncos, 2-4 going in, helped their star linebacker back up his words.Rosen http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/hunter-renfrow-jersey , the 10th overall pick this year, was critical of himself. Miller stripped him of the ball twice and he was sacked six times.“Obviously I didn’t play up to my standards or even close to it, but there’s another one next week,” Rosen said.Things were already in such dire straits at halftime that Cardinals fans booed their team off the State Farm Stadium field going into the locker room, and even that was drowned out in part by the cheers from a large number of fans in Broncos orange.Defensively, the Cardinals were caught off guard by wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders’ trick-play touchdown pass to a wide open Courtland Sutton in the first quarter, and Sanders was so open on his 64-yard touchdown reception that he had time to execute a flip into the end zone.“The one trick play in the first quarter, that was a little surprising,” linebacker Haason Reddick said. “No matter what the score is, whether we’re down 14, 15 or 60, you’ve’ve just got to continue to play and try to get back on top.”Denver’s rush defense was strong; Arizona http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/marquise-blair-jersey , the second-worst rush defense in the league behind the Broncos coming into Thursday, was gashed for a third-quarter 28-yard touchdown run by Phillip Lindsay with the Broncos already ahead 35-3.On special teams, Brandon Williams leg-whipped Broncos return man DaeSean Hamilton after he called for a fair catch, and the Broncos got the ball at their own 21 instead of the 6, already ahead 28-3.Rosen was replaced by backup Mike Glennon with 5:29 to play and, by that time it was a celebration for Broncos fans in the Cardinals’ stadium.“Good question,” Wilks said when asked why Arizona’s offense continues to struggle. “Whether it’s not getting movement up front, whether it’s not protecting in the pass game, not being able to make the proper throws or make the proper catches, there’s a lot that goes around.
