Jim Brown and Franco Harris RaceYes they did race in the early eighties when Franco was ranked second in all time rushing. Jim Brown trash talked him and said he could beat him in a race today. It got built up big time and they had a big special on one of the networks interviewing both of them and showing heilights. This all led up to the big race in which Franco dusted Jim Brown and about halfway through the race, Brown new he was dusted and stopped running while grabbing his hamstring.... It was funny stuff

**************

No Jim Brown and Franco Harris did not race.There was a televised unsanctioned race between Olympic champions Michael Johnson and Donovan Bailey in 1997 to determine who was the world's fastest man.

Johnson was the 200 and 400 meter champion; Bailey the 100m champion. The race itself was 150m.

Johnson pulled up lame when it was clear that Bailey would trounce him.

Why did Francisco Franco hate the cellist Pablo Casals?

b/c wether or not you see it its always green other than blue bikes not real cars real large and goodnight Franco and Casals were on different sides of the Spanish civil war. Casals left when Franco came to power, and said that he wouldn't return until Franco died or was kicked out. Poor Pablo died in 1973, and Franco died in 1975, so he never got to see post-Franco Spain.

How many NHL players in the NHL?

30 teams with 23 active players each. 30 * 23 = 690 players. This doesn't include any players on IR though. Other players can be called up to replace them and the IR players don't count towards the 23 man roster limit. Teams are only allowed to play 20 players in any game. The normal breakdown is 12 forwards (4 lines), 6 defensemen (3 pairings) and 2 goaltenders. The other 3 players on their roster are "scratches" and are not allowed to participate in that game.
