Cleveland Bulldogs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cleveland Bulldogs was a team that played in Cleveland, Ohio in the National Football League. They were called the Indians in 1923. The team's owner, Sam Deutsch bought the defending NFL champions Canton Bulldogs. He "mothballed" the Canton team and took its players and name to Cleveland in 1924 and won the NFL championship. In 1925, Deutsch, a Cleveland jeweler and sports patron, sold the Canton franchise to local owners, and sold his Cleveland club to Herb Brandt. The Cleveland Bulldogs fell to a dismal 5-8-1. Brandt received authority from the league to suspend operations for a year. They returned in 1927, bolstered by players from the folded Kansas City Cowboys franchise. However, the front office success didn't match the play on the field, and the team folded.
