"Road to the Super Bowl" Preseason - Bulldogs Traditional Cache

Canton Bulldogs

(NFL: 1920-1923, 1925-1926)

History:

The Canton Bulldogs were a very powerful team through the early 1900s while in the Ohio football league dominating everyone they played. In 1920, the American Professional Football Association (which in 1922 was renamed to the NFL) was organized and Jim Thorpe (Bulldogs head coach at the time) was appointed the first permanent president. After a few respectable seasons the Bulldogs hired Guy Chamberlin to be the head coach. Guy rebuilt the Bulldogs and won back to back NFL championships (the first 2 championships under the new named NFL). In 1923 the Bulldogs were moved to Cleveland. After winning yet another championship as the Cleveland Bulldogs, the Bulldogs were sold back to a group of Canton investors. Now back, the Canton Bulldogs struggled to retain championship status and went 4-4-0 during the 1925 season and a terrible 1-9-3 during the 1926 season. The NFL decided to remove 12 of the weaker franchises just before the 1927 season. This was the end of the Canton Bulldogs, but they continue to be a part of NFL history since they still hold (as of 2009) the record for the most games straight without defeat (which was set when the bulldogs played 25 straight games without defeat from 1921-1923). Also due to the Canton Bulldog’s early success and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in their home town.

Now about the cache: Since we are in preseason, we won’t be playing our best players. So, this cache should be an easy find.
